But Boboli are gross tasting!

I bought a perforated pizza pan (a pizza stone would work, too). I put
a low carb wrap or horizontally halved low carb pita on it. Lots of
cheese, onions, peppers, olives, good sauce. Very high oven heat just
til melted. Easy peasy.

I also made great low carb crust using Carbquik or Bob's red mill LC
bread mix, but I'm too lazy to do that regularly.

Sounds Good Susan...I Think I will try that

As pizza crusts go, they are pretty low in carbs. At least the thin ones.

Could you make a pizza crust with almond flour or would that be too
weird? I bought a bag of almond flour and now don't know what to do
with it.

Try it. See if it makes a good, tasty pizza crust. Weird? Who cares?

Almond flour is great to cook with. I just posted this pizza base
recipe for Robert:
http://lowcarbcookworx.com/recipes/23platforms.html

I often make brownies, muffins, cakes etc with almond flour.
To start you off, whilst I'm on this website - type almond into the
search window...

It doesn't have the strength or texture you'd want for pizza.

Thanks Nicky, for the almond flour waffle receipe and the links.
There are some receipes even this lousy cook could manage.... better
yet, I'll leave printouts of the ones I like where the cook in the
house will stumble over 'em.

Ricavito, hoping to wake up to an almond flour waffle Sunday morning

Too crumbly, huh? Somewhere around here I still have your brownie
receipe and that might be a great use for almond flour. But I fear
waking up my inner chocolate beast with even a low carb chocolate
treat, LOL

Do you mean the Scharffen Berger one? It only calls for a 1/4 cup of
flour and I sub carbalose for that, and use xylitol and liquid Splenda
in place of sugar.

You could use Carbalose flour for pizza crust, I'm sure.
