I've done numerous things to satisfy that that pizza crave:
- put slice of canadian bacon in toaster oven, top with 'very small amt' of pizza sauce and whatever other ingredients...broil. It's a bite size pizza.
- melt shredded mozarella in non-stick pan on stove, cook on high for a minute or two [until melted and starting to brown] - add pizza sauce and other toppings, cover pan and cook until heated thru and cheese is melted. I just rolled this up, since it doesn't come out of the pan very well.
There's also a deep dish pizza recipe on Lindas site, which is very good.
But, what I like about the one Liv posted - is that you get your veggies in too!

I also like making revolution rolls, then using them as mini-crusts for cute little pizzas (with toppings and sauce of my choosing). It's a big hit with multiple people!

3 large eggs- separated
1 pkg Splenda
dash of salt
3 ounces cream cheese (not Tbsp!) Do not soften!
pinch of cream of tartar
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Separate the eggs. Whip egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff (if you're using the same mixer, mix the whites first and then the yolk mixture).
Add Splenda, salt, and cream cheese to the yolks. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients together. Using a spatula, gradually fold the egg yolk mixture into the white mixture, being careful not to break down the whites.
Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray and spoon the mixture onto the sheet, making 6 mounds. Flatten each mound slightly.
Bake about 30 minutes (You want them slightly softer, not crumbly). Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes, and then remove to a rack and allow them to cool.
Storage and freezing:
I store them in a zip lock bag with the bag open partially (this way they breathe and don't go over moist and keep them in the fridge after the first day. Then, when you want to use them, take them out and set them on the counter for 15-30 minutes or until they are room temperature. This makes them more 'dry' and less sticky.
As for freezing, I tried freezing and they do freeze. This time you want to close the Ziploc when storing (I only store two per bag). To thaw, let them rest on the counter until room temperature in the bag with the bag open. When they're close to room temperature, set them outside of the bag so that they can 'dry' out slightly for use.

I never needed to freeze them, They didn't sit around my kitchen that long!
Sometimes I make pizza out of a portabella mushroom. I cut off the stem, turn it upside down and put a spoon of low carb marinara sauce on top. Then a slice of cheese and pepperoni. Works great in the toaster oven!

I've been using the Linda's recipe that calls for the pork rinds. I love it. It reminds me of the crust from the Chef Boyardee brand box pizza mix I had as a kid. My wife and kids like it too. (and they are extremely picky). Its time consuming to make, but well worth it in the end.

You can also make a 'meatza' with ground beef or other meat as your base.
I used to make a base from the revolution rolls recipe - if you cook it in the microwave instead of the oven it makes for a 'breadier' mouthfeel (thanks to not2late for that tip )
