Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
Steam the riced cauliflower in the microwave or on the stovetop for 5-7 minutes until tender. Let it cool slightly, then use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked cauliflower, egg, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix until a dough-like consistency forms.
Transfer the cauliflower mixture to the prepared baking sheet or pizza stone. Shape it into a thin, even circle or rectangle (approximately 1/4-inch thick).
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it is firm and golden brown.
Remove the crust from the oven and brush it lightly with olive oil. Spread the low-carb pizza sauce evenly over the crust.
Top with a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by the sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, red onion, and spinach.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the pizza cool for 3-5 minutes before slicing into portions and serving.
