We are big pizza fans over here! There is nothing better than starting the weekend off right with Friday night pizza. Being on keto put pizza Fridays on hold until we tried cauliflower pizza crust. Cauliflower crust pizza is the ultimate substitute! It is low in carbs and fits perfectly into the keto diet. Paired with a homemade tomato sauce. There’s no need to give up the things you love!
