Almond flour crust is ok, however I think it makes the pizza have a nutty aftertaste. I've had good luck with cauliflower crust though.

I don't cook very much with almond flour due to how heavy it is, but it can make a decent crust. Stuff like pancakes slide down your chest like rocks sometimes tho :biggrin:

Rice four is pretty popular in pizzas. Here's one that uses a couple different kinds of rice flour, plus tapioca flour:

Dominos Pizza has a gluten-free pizza that uses rice flour (it's a thin-crust), it's actually pretty decent. My only complaint is that it's mega-expensive (easy to get it up to $12+ for a small thin-crust GF pie, vs. a regular medium-crust for $5.99).

I got into flattening chicken not too long ago thanks to this trick:

I've since modified it. I buy boneless, skinless chicken fresh, cut all of the remaining cartilage off, and throw them in individual ziploc bags. Whenever I want a chicken cutlet, I just grab one out of the fridge & pound it down with a rolling pin (tenderizing hammers stink, just use a heavy wooden rolling pin instead, WAY better results). Makes awesome sandwiches (moist & tearable with your teeth), chicken parm, or just a good piece of chicken to eat for dinner with whatever sauces & spices you like. I could totally see it being a pretty decent pizza crust :thumbsup:

Edit: Also, use a cast-iron pan (they're like ten bucks). WAY better crust texture on the outside of the cutlet.

I'm a low carb-er too, and I invented a pizza crust made out of ground chicken. I think I posted it before. Get a couple of cans of chunk chicken breast and add it to a food processor with some garlic, onion, salt, water, and olive oil until it makes a dough, shape it into a crust, then bake it on a well greased pan for 10-12 minutes. Add your toppings and then bake it another 10 minutes. It's actually fantastic!

I have two friends who eat exclusively "crustless" pizzas. One swears by the cauliflower crust and the other by the very thinly pounded chicken crust.

I've had chicken that tasted something like dried out pizza crust, so I can certainly see how that's doable.
