Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs resembling rice.
Transfer the cauliflower 'rice' to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 5 minutes. Allow it to cool, then place it in a kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, eggs, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix to form a dough-like consistency.
Transfer the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out into a circle or rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the low-carb tomato sauce evenly over it.
Top the pizza with shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, red bell pepper slices, zucchini slices, red onion slices, and black olives.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your flavorful, low-carb veggie pizza!
