    If there's one thing we can count on in life, it's pizza.

    And the whole low-carb, cauliflower crust pizza has had me intrigued for quite some time.

    CBC

    So, I decided to try out five pre-made, frozen cauliflower pizzas from local grocery stores. I rated each pizza on a scale of one to five pizzas (five pizzas being the best tasting and one pizza being the worst). I also had my husband and son give me their opinion of each pizza, you know, for fun.

    TBH, it kind of felt like I was eating cauliflower cardboard – it was very plain and bland. The crust was crisp, so that was a plus, but there was a very strong cauliflower flavor, so that was a negative. The sauce was pretty much non-existent on this pizza. Also, the pizza easily fit onto a regular-sized dinner plate, so it probably only feeds about two people.

    Hub's review: "I hate it."

    Son's review: "It's fine."

    Overall rating: one out of five pizzas.

    OK, before I get into the bad, let me talk about the good: the cheeeeeeese. This one was very, very cheesy and the cheese tasted good...but, that's probably all I can say as far as what is "good" about this pizza. The sauce was, like, brown and clumpy and flavorless. The crust was very chewy, very cauliflower-y, and very bend-y. This pizza was slightly larger than the Caulipower pizza, but not by much. It would likely only feed two, maybe three, people.

    Hubs review: "I hate it."

    Son's review: "It's pretty good."

    Overall rating: one and a half out of five pizzas. (ONLY BECAUSE OF THE CHEESE.)

    This pizza says it has a "hint" of cauliflower in the crust and the other ones claim to be 100% cauliflower. It also claims to be traditional crust, but it definitely felt more like a thick crust to me and you could totally taste the cauliflower. Also, the pepperonis tasted a little weird. All that being said, it wasn't completely awful. The cheese and sauce kind of reminded me of your typical, frozen pizza flavor, whereas the Caulipower and the Realgood pizza didn't really taste much like pizza at all. This would probably only serve about two to three people.

    Hub's review: "Nope. Those pepperonis are also disgusting."

    Son's review: "It's good." (He ate three pieces, after picking off the pepperonis.)

    Overall rating: three out of five pizzas.

    I am happy to report that this crust was so crispy and delicious, you could not taste cauliflower! I will say this pizza has a strong herb taste, so it depends on your preference, but I liked it. The sauce has a great flavor and there was just the right amount of it. It was about the same size as the Caulipower pizza, so, again, this likely wouldn't feed more than two people.

    Hub's review (after finishing two pieces): "Wait, that was cauliflower crust?! It's actually good."

    Son's review: "Oh, gosh, no! YUCK!"

    Overall rating: four out of five pizzas.

    Right away I noticed this pizza was larger than all the others (you can't even see the blue plate underneath) and it seemed to be the "healthiest," according to the nutrition facts. So, how could it possibly taste the best? I HAVE NO CLUE, BUT IT DID! The crust was crisp and you couldn't taste cauliflower at all. The sauce-to-cheese ratio was perfect and the veggies gave it extra flavor.

    Hub's review: "Wow, OK, I like this a lot."

    Son's review: "Who likes vegetables on pizza? This is gross."

    Overall rating: four and a half out of five pizzas.
