HEALTHY PIZZA? YOU BET!

Freedom Pizza launches new guilt-free cauliflower crust

It’s not hard to see the appeal: a pizza made with a cauliflower crust is definitely surrounded by a health halo. It turns pizza from a gluttonous indulgent treat – loaded with carbs and gluten – into something made mostly from vegetables. Cauliflower crusts allow those attempting to adhere to a gluten-free or low-carb diet the opportunity to still tear through slices of pizza. Thankfully, home-grown organic pizza company, Freedom Pizza, has paved the way in the UAE, offering a cauliflower crust option across almost all of its signature pizzas (excluding the Kahuna Matada). The What’s On team managed to sample a few slices ahead of the official release and are happy to report that cauliflower crusts are actually a decent substitute for the real deal. The crust has a slight hint of cauliflower earthiness, but it’s very subtle, to the point that most of us agreed we wouldn’t have recognised cauliflower had we not already known it was there. In terms of presentation, it’s more of a flatbread than a typical pizza, which should appease crusthaters and sadden dipping sauce crust dunkers. All in all, a pretty pleasing result. Ordering pizza for lunch doesn’t seem quite so bad now.
