Preheat the oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and process in a food processor until it resembles rice.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5-7 minutes until softened. Let it cool slightly.
Once cooled, place the cauliflower into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, eggs, mozzarella, parmesan, salt, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined and forms a dough-like consistency.
Spread the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a thin, even circle or rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
Brush the crust lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and firm.
While the crust is baking, mix the arugula with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and black pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
After the crust is baked, remove it from the oven and spread the sugar-free tomato sauce evenly over the top.
Place pieces of prosciutto evenly across the pizza.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes until the prosciutto is slightly crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
Top the pizza with the arugula salad and scatter the halved cherry tomatoes on top.
Slice and serve immediately.
