Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until you achieve a rice-like texture.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Allow it to cool briefly.
Once cooled enough to handle, transfer cauliflower rice to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a large bowl, mix the cauliflower with the egg, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a 10-12 inch round crust.
Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes, or until it is golden brown and firm to touch.
Remove the crust from the oven, spread the pizza sauce over it, and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Arrange slices of ham, red onion, green bell pepper, and olives evenly on top.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve hot.
