Preheat the oven to 400 F. Mix together the ground flax seeds and water, place in the refrigerator for 5 minutes until thickened. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place the cauliflower florets into a food processor, and pulse until the consistency is rice- like. Don’t turn it into soup. They offer whole grain crust, gluten-free crust, and dairy-free cheese, if you want. Most of the vegetables and meats are roasted in olive oil and herbs before put on the pizza. The finished pizza is then stone-fired to completion. The pizza is better than at the places that run the pizza through an oven, while you stand at the counter. Mar 24, 2020 The truth about MOD Pizza's cauliflower crust. There is no other way to describe it; grabbing a MOD Pizza is fun. The cauliflower crust joins other MOD crust options: original (a standard pizza crust which comes in at 410 calories) and gluten-friendly (no wheat, dairy, eggs, or soy with 710 calories, via MOD).

There is no other way to describe it; grabbing a MOD Pizza is fun. It's fun because, if you're creative enough, you can customize your pizza without breaking the bank and possibly grossing your friends out at the same time (because they may not be into the same flavor combinations that you are).
So when MOD Pizza unveiled its cauliflower crust, the internet got excited about all the opportunities the new product presented, particularly for folks who were on specific dietary restrictions. The Fast Food Post says the cauliflower crust delivers a crisp, light option that's made with gluten-free ingredients that pack 590 calories per serving (that's a MOD-sized pie) and has 14 grams of fat, 87 grams of carbohydrates, 6 grams of sugar, and 18 grams of protein. The cauliflower crust joins other MOD crust options: original (a standard pizza crust which comes in at 410 calories) and gluten-friendly (no wheat, dairy, eggs, or soy with 710 calories, via MOD).
The internet weighs in on MOD's Cauliflower Crust
Yiddish.Ninja says he'd been disappointed with most cauliflower crusts on the market, but because he was a MOD fan, he decided to give the new offer a chance. He returned with rave reviews, saying that MOD's version of the trendy crust wasn't just a tasty caulflower crust, it was a great crust because it delivered on flavor, texture, and crunch... which was the problem. The blogger felt the crust had more than a mixture of cauliflower, egg, and cheese.
After engaging with MOD's customer service, Yiddish.Ninja found that the cauliflower crust was also made with rice flour, tapioca starch, rice starch, modified food starch, and cultured brown rice — so while the crust is gluten-friendly (MOD says it cannot be completely gluten-free because it shares the same space and ovens with other wheat-based crusts), it may not be the right choice for someone who is on a low-carb and keto diet.
Still, Yiddish.Ninja and his followers felt the crust was solid enough to enjoy as a cheat day treat for those on a low-carb diet, which should say something about its taste — even though a few commenters felt the crust may not be worth the calories.
California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) introduced a cauliflower crust made with gluten-free ingredients to its menu in January. Eager to explore dishes that put vegetables at the center of the plate, CPK makes its cauliflower pizza crust in a certified gluten-free facility with a custom blend of mozzarella cheese, rice flour, herbs and spices.
Gluten Free Cauliflower Pizza
The new cauliflower crust provides a lower-carb alternative to its traditional gluten-free crust, which was added to the menu in 2013.
“Putting our spin on a cauliflower-based crust seemed like a natural, and exciting, next step,” says Brian Sullivan, senior vice president of culinary innovation. “Now, we are proud to offer our guests a new, uniquely delicious way to enjoy their CPK pizza, with a vegetable-centric, cauliflower-based crust that’s made with high-quality, gluten-free ingredients.”
Any CPK pizza can be prepared on one of the gluten-free crusts for an additional charge of $2.50. CPK’s gluten-free offerings comprise four pizzas: barbeque chicken; pepperoni; mushroom, pepperoni and sausage; and Margherita. Each pie is prepared using the safe-handling procedures created and approved by The Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG). Due to kitchen space limitations, only the four varieties listed above adhere to GIG’s certified procedures. All other pizzas are made in a shared cooking area, putting them at risk of cross-contamination with wheat.
