Vegan Keto Pizza with Cauliflower Crust

Yes, you can eat pizza on a ketogenic diet; and you can even make your own keto cauliflower crust! Making pizza is a lost art, and at the Dish Kitch, we are bringing it back and making it better by ditching all those carbs. The gluten-free pizza we love to make happens to be entirely plant-based, but you can add fresh Parmesan cheese to the pesto, or sprinkle it on top of the pie.  There are great vegan cheese options for this as well.  

This is your pizza, so you can top it with whatever you like. But, we rarely make (or order) a pizza without mushrooms. Something about the umami flavor of cooked mushrooms combined with the sweet-umami of cooked tomatoes just hits all the notes. 

Ordinarily, we would also throw a handful of fresh basil on top as well, but pesto does the trick here. If you don’t have time to make your own pesto, it’s okay to cheat and use a store-bought variety. Rustichella d’Abruzzo is made in Italy and passes the Dish Kitch taste test.
