I am a bit of a pizza addict, it can be a problem. Previously I would hoard my daily points all day just so I could splurge on pizza for dinner. I no longer have to starve all day for pizza and I am still able to reach my weight loss goals.
The Weight Watchers point system makes this recipe a winner in my book. I love that the whole recipe makes two ww cauliflower pizza crusts. Everyone can customize their own pizza, than add a side of fruits and vegetables to make this a great family dinner!

Ingredients
Just 3 simple ingredients and less than 20 minutes from start to pizza.
- Cauliflower: Cauliflower is high in fiber and one of the most versatile vegetables out there. It’s a great low carb alternative to rice. I love making this “fried rice” with chicken breasts or thighs for a low carb dinner that won’t blow my smartpoints budget.
- Mozzarella Cheese: The favored cheese for pizza, mozzarella is a high-moisture cheese with a mild flavor that melts beautifully.
- Eggs: Eggs are zero point foods that are high in quality protein and a good source of Omega-3s. Because they are so filling, they can also help you lose weight.
Directions
- Preheat
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. - Mince your cauliflower
Place your cauliflower in the bowl of your food processor and process on high until it is finely minced and forms crumbs. - Add your cheese
Once your cauliflower is minced, stir in the mozzarella cheese and egg. Mix until well combined and a paste forms. - Make your crusts
Line a large pan with parchment paper. Divide your cauliflower mixture in half. Spread your cauliflower mixture into a circle of equal thickness and press it down into the pan so that it is packed together. Repeat this step with your other crust. - Bake
Bake your crust for 7 minutes until nicely browned. Remove your crust from the oven and use the parchment paper to help you carefully flip your crust. Add your desired toppings and bake for 7 more minutes.
Recipe Tips
- For a crispier crust, flip your crust before adding your toppings.
- Line your pan with parchment paper so that you can easily flip your crust.
Weight Watchers Plan Points
I love the WW points based plans. No need for calorie counting and the myWW program really helps prevent weight gain, even when you’re eating pizza! This recipe has points calculated for one crust, or half of the recipe – and for the crust only. Don’t forget to count points for added toppings.

I added 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa to the crust and one turkey pepperoni on top as well as a few cut cherry tomatoes for an extra two points
Is it 239 calories for EACH crust or for just one crust?
For each crust–the recipe makes two. It’s because of the cheese :)
I wonder what the purpose of the mozarella cheese is. Why is it needed at all? To bind the ingredients?
Yes, to bind the ingredients. You can use less if you’d like.
I wonder if you use “Kraft Fat Free Motzarella” the points would be even lower?!!!
Probably, yes!
This looks really great! I am going to try it this weekend. Question: Are the nutritional facts for both crusts? Per crust? Per slice? If so, how many slices per crust? Thank you for the recipe!
Hi Laurie,
Nutrition info is for one crust.:)
I would like to make this. What type of mozzarella cheese did you use to get these points? Was it fullfat, low-fat or fat-free? Thank you!
Hi Sarah! I’m sorry, I just realized I didn’t mention that I used lowfat. Different brands sometimes have different points, though, so I’d always double check with the WW point calculator!
Do you cook the cauliflower before or after putting it in the food processor? Or do you not cook it prior to mixing with the egg and cheese? Thanks!
I don’t cook it first!
Hi Becca, do you have 21 day fix counts for this?
Thanks,
Danielle
