Cauliflower as a Pizza Crust

It's not a regular crust pleasure-wise**, but it's an OK substrate for pizza. I've tried a couple of different brands, and both were quite neutral in flavor, so not aggressively cauliflower-tasting. The texture is not chewy or crisp like common flour crusts, but more soft (but holds together) - it's basically a cauliflower-egg-cheese giant firm pancake, kind of.

It's also not low calorie at all, at least not the ones I've had. Since you're doing keto, I can see that might be fine for you, if the calories fit.

If it matters in comparing your tastes to mine: I like cauliflower a lot, prefereable roasted in small flowerette chunks, but steamed or raw is fine with me, too. I don't care for cauliflower rice, but mostly because it doesn't taste much like cauliflower (a demerit), and I'm not a big rice fan (it's meh, in my world) so not looking for a subsitute.

Why not try it? How bad could it be? Is there some specific worry you have about it? You can get sandwich thins that are similar, if you'd rather try something smaller first.

**Personally, I'd rather have a nice chewy regular flour crust, deep dish or Detroit type, but obviously that's not going to fit your dietary preferences.

A restaurant here does a cauliflower crust option which I tried out of curiosity. It was pretty good (it was part of a lower cal pizza option but it's certainly common for cauliflower crusts to be as high cal as other crusts, I think that's true for the store-bought one). I saw one in this little meat and produce market I go to once and thought about getting it out of curiosity, again, but I didn't see it the next time I went.

Making one seems like a pain.

I have been gluten free for years so my memory of regular pizza dough is fading (*sniff*). Flavor wise it depends on the brand, but they are decent. It takes effort to get something that’s not soggy though, which is a huge downside for me. I buy frozen already made pizzas and will bake them in the oven then finish them in a cast iron skillet which helps.

I had a sample of cauliflower-crust pizza in a supermarket. No idea of the brand. Didn't care for it. If I were keto I would prefer steamed cauliflower with butter, and grilled ribeye steak.
