" Yes! This crust is made with cauliflower and it is delicious. It is a knife and fork pizza not a slice to hold in your fingers pizza. I used skim milk Tex Mex grated cheese and I divided the cheese saving a half cup to put on top of the two pizzas. Use what ever cheese you want and use more if you like. Also the toppings are only suggested toppings use your own favorites. The recipe makes two 9 inch pizzas and they are quite filling. The recipe was adapted from "bulletin board" The cook time is all inclusive start to finish. For vegetarian omit the chicken"
