Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease with olive oil to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked brown rice, eggs, mozzarella cheese (for crust), Parmesan cheese (if using), salt, and garlic powder. Mix well until the mixture binds together and forms a dough-like consistency.
Transfer the rice mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands or a spatula, spread it out evenly into a pizza crust shape, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the crust feels firm to the touch.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping) over the sauce.
Add your choice of toppings, such as sliced vegetables (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms), cooked meats (grilled chicken, sausage), or fresh herbs.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy!
