Disclosure: I received free product in exchange for hosting an instagram giveaway with Real Good Foods. All thoughts & opinions are my own.
Real Good Foods sent me a couple of their new Cauliflower Crust Pizzas to try, since I’d reviewed their chicken crust pizzas in the past. I’m not a keto or macro person, but if you are, these are really good. One serving is 1/4 of the pizza and only has 9g carbs, 16g fat, and 17g protein. All good & healthy, but it comes with a hefty dose of 700mg sodium that unfortunately, you can taste. On the bright side, for people with food sensitivities, the pizzas are gluten and grain free.
I followed the instructions and baked the pizza in my oven at 400F for 16ish minutes, until the cheese started to really brown at the edges. While the toppings were done cooking, the cauliflower crust was still pretty floppy. When cauliflower pizza crusts are too floppy, it usually means their consistency is too mushy, which is no bueno. To solve this problem, I cooked the pizza in a skillet on my stove on low heat for a few minutes until the cauliflower crust was crispier.
Real Good Foods’ cauliflower crust is made up of cheese, almond flower, egg, coconut flower, & a few other ingredients and seasonings. It tasted good overall, although it was a little too salty. I didn’t feel like I was eating cauliflower. However, the crust wasn’t close enough to the texture of real pizza crust to make the pizza genuinely enjoyable for me to eat.
To be fair, I’m really not a cauliflower crust fan in general, and I do genuinely love the Real Good Foods chicken crust pizzas. I have a hunch that if you don’t love other cauliflower crusts, you probably won’t like this one either.
Real Good Foods products are available on Amazon, realgoodfoods.com, and in stores like Target. Try their chicken crust pizzas!
What do you guys think? Does anybody actually prefer cauliflower crust pizza over real pizza?
Discovered Real Good Foods pizzas on sale at a local east coast grocery chain. They were about 1/3 of original price and were being discontinued so bought four pepperoni and four margherita. In the past have had acceptable cauliflower crust pizza from a big-box store so thought I’d give the Real Goods Foods pizzas a try. Have had one of each. The “crust” isn’t like crust, its just a paddy of puréed cauliflower. To me, these pizzas are barely editable, might throw the remaining away. What was this company thinking? Please, Real Good Foods, you need to go back to the drawing board on this one, good luck.
My first Real Pizza AND It will be my LAST. Crust is awful. My health concern is gluten. I saw gluten free and I bought it without reading the entire label and there’s very little cauliflower in the crust. The box information is a MISREPRESENTATION as the word cauliflower is prominent, not mentioning the overpowering ingredients that seriously take away from quality.
