CALI'FLOUR FOODS - CAULIFLOWER PIZZA CRUST

DINNER AT HOME

I love Pizza and have been trying all kinds of lower carb Pizza Crusts.  So far I have not found anything that really tastes that great.  The Cali'Flour Foods plant based Cauliflower Pizza Crust was no exception.  Did not really care for the taste and just could not get the crust to crisp up.  I even bought the Vented Pizza Pan recommended in the cooking instructions.  Baked for 17 minutes and then another 10 minutes until the sides browned.  Still floppy.  Probably wouldn't buy these Pizza Crusts again.  The kicker was my Daughter was hungry and she could not even finish one small piece.  I had great toppings too.  Basil Tomato Sauce, Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Onions, Bell Pepper, Oregano, Mozzarella, Italian Cheese Blend, Parmesan and Jalapeños.

Craving Pizza so I made a low carb version using Thin Slim Foods Low Carb Pizza Crust.

Started by baking the crust for 10 minutes at 400 degrees to crisp it up a bit.  Then removed from oven and topped with Bertolli Tomato Basil Sauce, Oregano, Parmesan, Mozzarella, 

Bell Pepper, Onion, Pepperoni, Italian Sausage and Jalapeño.  Back in the oven for another 

10 minutes.  Great tasting and low carb pizza at home.  Love it!

Love Pieology Pizza with Cauliflower Crust.  Bummer that they charge an extra $3 for this but it is as good as the normal crust.  I asked for Oregano on this one and the worker making my pizza unloaded teaspoon after teaspoon of ground Oregano.  Kind of ruined half the pizza.

So my gals abandoned me today and left me to watch the Masters Golf Tournament with our dog.  Decided to make a Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza on a Zero Net Carb Pizza Crust.

Totally satisfied my pizza craving and it was delicious.

We had some Beef and Mushroom Spaghetti Sauce in the refrigerator and since I am trying to stay low carb, I put it on a low carb Pizza Crust and topped with Mozzarella and Parmesan Cheeses, Red Onion, Oregano and Bell Pepper.  Pretty good pizza!

I like Pieology Pizza and now that I am eating a low carb diet we decided to try the Cauliflower Crust.  They add $3 to the cost of the Pizza to go Cauliflower Crust.  I ordered everything else for my Pizza just like normal.  Sausage, Pepperoni, Canadian Bacon, Jalapeños, Red Onion and Bell Pepper.  The crust was thin and a bit crispy.  It did not have a strong Cauliflower flavor and tasted pretty much like a normal Pizza to me.  I liked it.

Now that I have tried Cauliflower Pizza Crusts at CPK and now Pieology, I am a fan and will continue eating low carb pizza crust when it is available.

CPK LOW CARB TAKEOUT

DINNER AT HOME

CPK got an "F" for service on this order but the food received an "A".  We called in the order to the Kahala location and the gal on the phone repeated our order, took our name and phone number.  We asked to pay with a credit card over the phone and she said they could not take credit cards over the phone.  This was a bummer because our Daughter was at the Mall and ready to pick up the food.  She went to the Pick-Up Window and gave our name and repeated the order at the cashiers request.  The cashier said they did not have an order under our name or for the food that we ordered on the phone.  My Daughter reordered and had to wait even longer.  I ordered the BBQ Chicken Pizza with Cauliflower Crust to reduce my carb intake.  Damn this is the second time I have had the Cauliflower Crust and it is great.  Almost cannot tell it is made from Cauliflower.  Also enjoyed the Wedge Salad which they do really well with thick cut bacon and a delicious Blue Cheese Dressing.  Delicious low carb takeout!

LOW CARB PEPPERONI AND JALAPENO PIZZA

LUNCH AT HOME

Craving a little Pizza so I made this delicious Pepperoni and Jalapeño Pizza using a low carb thin crust.  Topped it with Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella and Parmesan Cheeses, Pepperoni, Jalapeño, Red Onion, Bell Pepper and a sprinkle of Oregano and more Parmesan.

While I prefer the larger Zero Net Carb Pizza Crusts, these are ok for small individual size Pizzas.  This crust didn't have a good crunch so next time I will pre-cook the crust before baking with the toppings on top.

DINNER AT HOME

So we have Tacos and Pizza down with our low carb diet thanks to low carb tortillas and pizza crusts. This Pizza is was as good as any Pizzeria in Honolulu and in fact was absolutely delicious.  I cooked the Italian Sausage before placing it on the Pizza.  Layered the Pizza with Tomato Sauce, Oregano, Parmesan Cheese, Mozzarella Cheese, Red Onion, Bell Pepper, Pepperoni, Sausage and Jalapeños.  Next time I will cook the Low Carb Pizza Crust first without the toppings for about 10-12 minutes to get it a bit crispier.  I had to keep the Pizza in the oven longer than expected and some of the toppings got a bit burnt.  Did not really effect the taste but looked black.  This is delicious and satisfying Pizza without the carbs!
