Storage & Reheating Instructions
When storing your cooked pizza, allow it to cool down first, then place it in an airtight container or cover it with cling wrap and refrigerate. It can be safely stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
When you’re ready to enjoy your pizza again, preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the pizza on a baking sheet and reheat for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is warmed through. This method will help retain the texture and flavors of the pizza, giving you a freshly baked pizza experience even when reheating.

Pretty good! The directions, including cooking times and temp were perfect and easy to follow. The crust held together well after baking it. The finished pizza was nicely browned, but a little soggy, and had to be eaten with a knife and fork rather than being able to pick up the slices. My cauliflower rice was very dry before I mixed up the batter, but maybe the crust became soggy because I loaded a lot of toppings on (tomato sauce, chopped pepperoni, crumbled bacon, onions, mushrooms, and shredded fresh mozzarella). The head of cauliflower I used was getting old; still crisp and white, but stronger -smelling than fresh-picked, and I tasted cauliflower more than with the commercially prepared cauliflower crust pizzas I’ve had. Not a big problem for me, but if you’re not a big fan of cauliflower, make sure you get a fresh-picked head for milder flavor.
I gave it 3 stars. Very tasty, but not worth the effort. After squeezing out as much liquid through a thin dish towel as I could, I added the ingredients then squeezed a lot of liquid out again. Wish I could post a picture of the finished product. It looked great!
I recommend Stay At Home Chef recipes highly also. Chef Rachel is pleasant to interact with and patient. I’ve never been disappointed by any of her shared recipes. Bravo Rachel! ☺️
Very good! I was unsure about the amount of pre-riced frozen cauliflower. I ended up using two bags of frozen riced cauliflower (a pound per each bag) used two eggs, but kept the cheese and herbs the same as the recipe-it turned out great!
This was amazing!! Thanks for sharing.
Well this crust is great and light we flipped it to get that extra crispness! As we say in New Mexico deliciouso!
Can I use the “dough”as a base to make veggie meatballs?
Worth a try!
