This antipasti style low carb pizza recipe is going to be your new easy, weeknight go-to meal. It's served atop a cauliflower pizza crust that's covered in a garlic spread & loaded with delicious antipasti and fresh herbs. It is gluten free, low carb, and keto.
Just wanted to let you know this pizza recipe is sponsored by the awesome folks at Cali'flour Foods!
Have you ever had antipasti on a pizza crust? Well, let me be the first to tell you that it's a serious game changer.
I highly recommend serving this for a group of guests if you are planning on having some sort of get together.
It's really casual to serve, as everyone can just grab a slice and go.
No need for plates or forks like you would need to have with a traditional antipasti dish.
Why is this low carb pizza recipe great?
- It is very well-rounded. The saltiness coming from all of the cheeses and meats pair perfectly with the veggies & fresh herbs.
- The antipasti recipe makes for a very large bowl. You can order several pizza crusts and have enough to feed a lot of people.
- Nobody will realize the crust is made out of cauliflower. It is cheesy and delicious!
- The pizza is gluten free, low carb, and keto.

They are so simple and straight forward, yet the taste is above and beyond delicious. There are so many cauliflower pizza crust brands available on the market, but none of them have as short of an ingredient list as these.
I highly recommend cooking them on a vented pizza pan, as that will help them cook evenly and without burning.
You can purchase the cauliflower pizza crusts online and have them shipped directly to you.
Alternatively, they are available at several markets and grocery stores. Simply use this handy store locator.
How to make antipasti low carb pizza
In a small mixing bowl, mix together all of the ingredients for the garlic spread. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Once preheated, place the frozen pizza crust (important that it comes straight out of the freezer) onto a vented pizza pan.
Using a pastry brush, brush the garlic spread mixture all over the top of the crust. Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating halfway through. Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the antipasti mixture.
In a large mixing bowl, toss together the antipasti ingredients: Genoa and soppressata salami, cheddar, mozzarella, tomatoes, artichokes, red peppers, and the pepper juice. Mix in the black and green olives.
Drizzle the olive oil over the entire dish, followed by the vinegar and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
Spoon the mixture over the crust, making sure not to overcrowd the crust or make it too heavy, as the crust is thin and we do not want it to break. Place back in the oven to cook for another 2 minutes.
Remove from the oven and top off with fresh basil. Let it set for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
I absolutely cannot wait for the next time we have a ton of guests over at the house. I've made this antipasti salad for friends and family before, and they've absolutely loved it.
I know they are going to love it even more once they can eat it from a fabulous low carb pizza crust vessel instead! 🙂
Recipe questions and substitutions
How can I store this low carb pizza?
In an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Can I make and prep anything beforehand?
Yes. Make the antipasti mixture and garlic spread ahead of time if you'd like and store them in the refrigerator. That way, when you want to make the pizza, all you'll have to do is cook everything. It'll come together very quickly!
Can I swap out any ingredients in the antipasti?
Yes, feel free to use your favorite cold cuts and cheeses!

Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, mix together all of the ingredients for the garlic spread. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Once preheated, place the frozen pizza crust (important that it comes straight out of the freezer) onto a vented pizza pan. Using a pastry brush, brush the garlic spread mixture all over the top of the crust. Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating halfway through. Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes.

Notes
- You will have leftovers of the antipasti mixture. You can eat it as is or cook up more pizza crusts if you'd like!
- The garlic spread is enough for 1-2 pizza crusts. It truly depends on how garlic-forward you'd like your crust to taste. I prefer to use it all on 1 crust, so be sure to make double if you are making (2) pizzas and love garlic.

Ha! Now upon refreshing it appears to have sorted itself out.

3 stars. This wasn't what I thought. Difficult to hold onto without toppings falling off. Mine looked like the photo so they weren't piled on too high. BTW, your stars don't work as there are the words "recipe rating" typed right over them in lower case letters. The words RECIPE RATING is also printed right above those same covered stars.
