Product Review: Win-Co Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Sausage and pepperoni pizza built on Win-Co Foods cauliflower pizza crust. Excuse the paper plate. Dinner was casual, after all.

Since I’ve been on a pizza kick lately, I decided to try Win-Co Foods brand for Cauliflower Pizza Crust with pre-done toppings from my favorite pizza place. The price for the crust is very reasonable, under $4.00, and it’s about 9-inches in diameter. The recommended servings per pizza are 6. I quartered it, then sliced each quarter into two pieces, so the net carb per serving of 2 slices is about 2.25 g.

Simply load the pizza with your toppings, then pop it in the oven on a tray. I usually cover my baking pan with foil and use that. I would not recommend putting this directly on the oven racks. When the mozzarella holding the pizza crust together heats up, it goes limp, so the pizza would sag through the racks. If you have a pizza pan with a screen, it would be okay on that. The crust bakes to a beautiful brown color, but it is not exactly crisp. It doesn’t hold up to being picked up and eaten until it cools down quite a bit and the cheese firms up enough to hold the shape. Although the crust seems thick and sturdy before it’s baked, it is actually quite thin once it cooks.

The biggest issue I have with this crust is that it lacks flavor. Both cauliflower and mozzarella have mild flavors, so the crust is more like a cracker without any seasoning. If you want to try it, I would suggest adding seasonings on top of the crust before you add the pizza sauce, but I’m not sure that would be enough. When I’ve made cauliflower crusts from scratch, I’ve added garlic, salt, pepper, a bit of flaked red pepper, and a little Italian seasoning into the mix when the crust is formed.

I would rate this about 3 spoons out of 5. Not the best I’ve eaten but serviceable.

I have not been paid or rewarded to review this product. I am sharing my personal opinion of it. I am generally a fan of Win-Co Brands products, but this one isn’t on my favorites list.
