It’s meatless Monday!!!
Whoa, I am just realizing that um all of my recent Monday posts have been semi packed with meaty things. So sorry to all those vegetarian readers. I guess all those cozy winter foods sort of took over for a while. Oh well, I mean they were all pretty good, so I had to post them sometime.
Anyway, today I am going meatless and loving it. Well actually, to be honest I kind of love meatless meals anyway, but I just have so much fun exploring all foods, that you guys just end up seeing a little bit of everything (plus, I have brothers who LIVE for meat!).
Sometimes though? Well, sometimes you really just need a good buffalo pizza. Like one full of sauce and cheese and semi greasy goodness. Yes, you do.
Typically when you think of a buffalo pizza you think buffalo chicken, but umm, I will not lie I have never made a buffalo pizza WITH chicken. I know, is that weird? Probably, but I kind of find that chicken on pizza is really not all that awesome – for me at least. I’m sure there are some really amazing chicken pizzas out there that I just have not yet tried, but to me, a buffalo pizza is all about the sauce. The sauce and cheese, together they are everything!
SO – instead of chicken, I have always made buffalo chicken pizza, minus the chicken, plus some broccoli and loaded it up with my homemade buffalo sauce. It’s weird, but it’s honestly one of the best pizzas I make.
Today I made a cauliflower version though, and it is so good! Now, if you read any food magazines, or are into food at all, than you are probably well aware that cauliflower is having a major “moment”. Like MAJOR. It seems to be the base of every other recipe these days: raw, roasted, steamed, you name it and its been done. Truthfully, I have always enjoyed cauliflower. I was even making cauliflower rice back when I was sixteen and went through a serious health food phase. This was back when I thought I wanted to be a nutritionist…then I got a little bored and went back to what I always loved styling clothes…then LA happened and I freaked a little…and then I started this blog thing and… now I am happy. <– Life story in about ten seconds right there.
Thing is, I have yet to jump on this whole cauliflower craze. Apparently, I have been way too busy with all my pineapples!
While, today I am changing that with this buffalo roasted cauliflower pizza. It’s a recipe to love and make…weekly!! Or even for March Madness. Ahh, has that started yet, or does that happen more towards the end of the month? Not really up on those things.
This pizza is pretty simple. It’s all the flavors of a buffalo chicken pizza, only instead of chicken you get a healthy dose of cauliflower. Pretty good swap if you ask me.
I also made a little avocado drizzle to balance out the heat. It’s not a necessity, but it is really good, and the blue cheese, oh the blue cheese. Well, I know there are those of you out there who really dislike blue cheese, but I am most definitely not one of them. I am a firm believer that you really can not do buffalo anything with cheddar and blue cheese. You just can’t.
Ok, ok, okay. Now can we all please just make some pizza tonight? I mean, I personally could not think of a better way to spend a Monday night.

Veggie pizza for the win!
Returning to the recipe AGAIN to send it off to a friend. I used to hate cauliflower, but after roasting (and drenching in buffalo sauce, let’s be honest) I LOVE it. This recipe is so easy and so delicious I love making it for gatherings or a good night in. Thank you for hitting another one out of the park!
I am so glad you loved this Roxanne! Thank you!

I love, love, love HBH recipes and this was no exception. Loved the roasted cauliflower with the combination of cheeses and interesting sauce on a pizza crust. Fairly spicy but that’s part of why you’re going to make this anyway. Highly recommend as an alternate to the usual pizza routine.
So happy you loved this recipe Rachel! Thank you so much!
I do have a question can you make this on cauliflower crust without chesse
Sure if you are not fan of sure you can omit it. Thanks!
I’m looking for a cauliflower rice recipe…because….your the best! Thanks Tieghan
I just made this for dinner and it was probably the best pizza that I have ever tasted! I was really nervous about making the pizza dough but it was easy and very tasty!
SO HAPPY YOU LOVED IT! THANKS!
Now that is one nice looking buffalo pizza!
We’ve tried it tonight and it was so delicious!!
I’ve had to modify it a bit, since we forget to buy the blue cheese… so I’ve swapped it for goat cheese, and have added some pecan nuts. It was absolutely amazing! But next time, we try it with blue cheese for sure!
Thanks for all the great recipes on the blog!
SO happy you loved it!! THANKS!!
I love this! I am obsessed with cauliflower so I think this is pretty genius. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Jennifer!! 🙂
This looks so good! I bet you’d never miss the meat either- so much flavor! Bravo!
I had to smile, because a few years ago my body just stopped tolerating chicken or much of any kind of meat. But especially poultry. And I have found that there are such amazing chicken recipes out there — and almost all of them do just great WITHOUT the chicken! What is that all about? Anyway, terrific recipe. You always combine flavors that I would never think to combine. Thanks!
All I want is pizza now, this looks too good!
Hi yes I would like to order one of these pizzas asap cause yum.
Just yum.
I’m obsessed with cauliflower right now and this combo sounds amazing! Pinning now. 🙂
