I told you last week that I had more to share! So I’m officially declaring May, not only Celiac Awareness Month, but also PIZZA Month! You should smile; it’s a good thing! I also think it’s a mighty fine way to beckon late spring and summer to us. Pizza is surely not seasonal. You can make a seasonal pie, but let’s be honest. There is never ever a bad time to bake up a pie!

This veggie pizza was long overdue for sharing here on the blog. I believe it’s from last summer, so we’ve come full circle! It’s a little sad that I’ve let this one slip for so long. We need to spiralize more! Confession time: I don’t use my spiralizer much. Maybe once every few months? I know…shame.

It’s even in a very easily accessible place (unlike my slow cooker), right in a bottom cabinet with where extra food, protein powders, my falling apart toaster oven, and rice cooker live. But it sadly stays there (crying in the darkness!) Using it for pizza is one of the best ways to show it some love though. If I was a spiralizer, I’d want to be used to make pizza! This is one awesome pizza to boot! It may just be making the cassava crust jealous!

You know what my favorite thing about this spiralized pizza is? Single-serve! Why of course! I know some people find it hard to call any pizza anything but “single-serve” 😉 I know the “pie love” can run pretty deep at times! Did you know there are actually some people who don’t like pizza!? I know it sounds crazy, but it’s true. I recall this one lone child I went to school with, who said he hated pizza :O That’s pretty attuned with hating chocolate. A life without pizza is like a life without bagels (but worse!)

But there’s no pizza-haters here…right? Okay good, I’m glad we can all be friends. I understand some people having strong topping preferences, but hating the entire pizza culture? Unimaginable! That kid must have had some sad birthday parties…haha! And isn’t pizza such a typical college food? What must he be eating? I have one more mind blowing tidbit about this though that will blow your pizza-loving mind further.

His parents owned one of the most popular pizza places in our town :O I know! That kid hated pizza and grew-up in a PIZZA family…the definition of a pizza family! I don’t know how that happens. He was always pretty proud of his pizza-hating and never minded the stares he would get as he so boisterously told his preferences. You know what this means though? More pizza for us! The pizza-loving people of the world!

Now, this pizza is obviously more “fork-friendly” than, slice and eat with you hands. But if you want to get messy..use your hands 😉 I’m sure you know that’s what I do! I fully embrace the pizza culture in every way I possibly can!

**I get asked all the time, so THIS is the spiralizer you want to buy if you still don’t have one!**

So tell me:

+ Do you know any pizza-haters?

+ How often do you use your spiralizer?

    I can’t imagine not liking pizza. Pizza is almost a staple at our house. My kids like meat and like vegetarian, but I’ve never had one completely made out of veggies. This will give me an excuse for putting my spiralizer to use.

    Never had radishes on my pizza before but this sounds delicious! Love the spiralized sweet potatoes as crust – what a brilliant idea!

    That looks absolutely delicious!
    I actually have a spiralizer at home, but I keep forgetting to use it so it’s starting to collect dust – this is the kind of dish that makes me want to get that baby out! X

    “PIZZA Month!” YES!!!!! Every month should be pizza month! Pizza is my very favourite food and I love the creative way you made the crust. I sadly haven’t used my spiralizer in over a year. yikes! I need to get it out, dust it off and show it some love.
    I’m pinning & sharing. Have a great week!

    Your imagination and flavor combinations amaze me! I never know what I’m going to find when I stop by! What a great idea to skip the traditional crust altogether!

    I love pizza, but now that I’m gluten free it’s even more of a treat! So I really love this idea.

    Ohhh, I haven’t used my spiralizer for months and I feel terrible about it. I always buy so many kitchen gadgets and only use it 1-2 times. Same with the pasta attachment for the kitchen aid. I’m totally motivated to make some when I’m out, but when I’m at home I don’t feel like it. Anyways, I love this spiralized sweet potato pizza! This is so genius! And I love the layer of nooch on top. YUMM.

      Hahahaha! I feel you…speaking of the Kitchen Aid…I haven’t used mine in months :/ I feel REALLY bad about that one! Some with my dehydrator!

    Ooo 🙂 We usually spiralise carrots, potatoes, beetroot, courgettes and apples… I don’t think we’ve ever tried a sweet potato! If we had any I’d try it right now! 🙂 Sprouts on pizza surprised me – but then roasted sprouts are good so why not! As for your pizza hater – maybe he was only ever fed pizza… pizza for breakfast, pizza for lunch, pizza for snack, pizza for dinner?

    HI Rebecca,
    Wow this sounds so tasty and healthy. I love sweet potatoes and never thought about specializing them. Pinned & tweeted !

    I love my spiralizer and love your creativity in using it for a pizza crust. That never crossed my mind. I’d so love to dig into this!

      Gotta make it (and maybe use that carrot top pesto of yours as a sauce!) 😉

    I love the idea of a spiralized pizza base! Sounds ingenious and looks pretty too. I also don’t use my spiralizer nearly enough and it’s also hidden away where I forget about it – until I read a post like this!

    Potato pizza I’d heard of but using spiralized ones? That’s an intriguing idea. I’m not sure my pizza-fond family would consider it the same category as they’re homemade thin crust pizza but a Rösti – traditional Swiss potato dish; look it up on Google if you’re curious 🙂 – turned pizza would be no less creative.
    Maybe Mr Pizza Hater in your school didn’t actually hate it but wanted to rebel against his parents – something a lot of children do at some point.
    I very much approve of your heavy handedness on the nutritional yeast, The more, the merrier. The same goes for Brussels sprouts … mmmh.

      Lol, I know what Rosti is 😛
      Ah, no, this kid was a bad seed in every way…and he really hated pizza!

      What!? Come on girl! Beets and sweet potatoes are what spiralizers were made for (at least in my house!) Haha! Those are the 2 I always do if I spiralize!

    Oooh, I just got a spiralizer. I should break it in with this recipe! I feel so behind the times, esp as a vegan, to be getting a spiralizer so late in the game. Excited to use it!

      It’s really…a tragedy if you don’t!
      Mmm yes! The cast iron will give it such a good crisp bottom!

    I am SO super excited about this recipe for lots of reasons! This looks amazing!!! And so colorful. Just love it! I’m laughing at the kid who hated pizza, but grew up in a pizza family! That’s nuts. There was a kid I knew in grade school who not only hated pizza, but also tacos….so obviously we weren’t friends 😉 I mean really? How could you NOT like pizza?! I just completed a week of fully raw and used my spiralizer a lot! I love how it makes ordinary foods more fun! I can’t wait to try this. <3

      Haha, no pizza or tacos!? What that childhood must have been like….just sadness!
      I love how you can eat ANYTHING raw when it’s spiralized!

    That’s such a fun way to do a pizza crust! Does it get nice and crispy like hashbrowns? I imagine it would have a soft center and crisp outside. I do not know any pizza haters except my 4 year old when he’s in a mood. But when that happens he hates just about anything so it doesn’t count. LOL!!

    What a delicious idea! I love nutritional yeast. It’s so healthy and cheesy. I’m definitely going to try this on a day when I don’t make it to the gym 🙂

    Pizza? Sweet potatoes? How could you go wrong? 😉 I’m always looking for new grain-free crust ideas, so I’m keeping this one in mind for pizza night. 🙂
