- This recipe is versatile – make a fun pizza buffet bar and let everyone create their own bowl.
- Pizza bowls are budget-friendly and easy to customize with leftover meats and veggies.
The Starting Lineup
Meat: Pre-cooked sausage saves so much time! Use leftover taco meat, shredded chicken, or turkey if you have it. Instead of pepperoni, try prosciutto, diced ham, or bacon.
Vegetables: Riced cauliflower replaces the crust in this recipe and makes a perfect base with peppers, mushrooms, and olives. But any keto veggie can be added to a pizza bowl.
Cheese: Pizza means loads of melty cheese! Mozzarella and parmesan are the standard, but you can top your pizza bowl with any kind of cheese and it will still be delicious!
Sauce: Look for a low-carb, low-sugar pizza sauce and zest it up with Italian seasonings and some fresh oregano or basil.
Pizza Bowl Possibilities: For a boost of nutrition and flavor, add some shredded zucchini or Brussels sprouts, chopped spinach, kale, spicy jalapenos, or green chilis. Scoop pizza mixture into bell peppers before baking in the oven for a fun presentation. Cut the tops off bell peppers, steam the “bowls” for 2 minutes in the microwave, and make the rest of the recipe as directed.
How To Make Pizza Bowls
- Cook garlic, green pepper, and mushrooms in oil until tender. (See full recipe below.)
- Stir in cauliflower rice and herbs and cook through.
- Divide mixture between 4 bowls and top with remaining ingredients.
- Bake until the cheese is browned and bubbly.
Pro Pizza Bowl Tips
- Cut veggies small enough so a little bit of everything gets into each bite.
- Prepping the meat and veggies in advance and store in separate containers in the fridge until ready to create.
- Save energy (and maybe a burn!) by baking pizza bowls on a baking sheet instead of taking each bowl in and out separately from the oven.
Second Serve Solutions
Keep leftover pizza bowl mixture in covered containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave. Or freeze mixture in zippered bags for up to one month. Thaw and reheat on the stovetop.

This was really good! The whole family loved it.
Thank you for trying our recipe! So happy you enjoyed it.
This recipe was Excellent. My family members are plain jane’s when it comes to pizza so I didn’t get to put all the lovely sautéed vegetables in the cauliflower rice mixture. I made several different versions using ground beef for some, and ground turkey for others. Everyone is a pepperoni lover, so that stayed in!! The reviews were all thumbs up. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! We will use it over and over again.
So happy to hear that! I am glad everyone enjoyed it, even if you had to skip some delicious parts 😉
