Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove leaves and stem from the cauliflower, break it into florets, and wash them thoroughly.
Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they reach a rice-like consistency.
Transfer the cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 5 minutes until soft. Allow it to cool slightly.
Place the cooked cauliflower in a clean dish towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, egg, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Place the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and form it into a flat, round pizza crust about 1/4 inch thick, pressing firmly to ensure it holds together.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until it is golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Remove the crust from the oven, add your favorite low-carb toppings, and then bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
