Pizza is one of the greatest foods of all time, but all that dough and cheese makes it difficult to enjoy if you’re trying to eat healthily.
There are lots of recipes out there that replace the base of a pizza with vegetables like cauliflower, but these still need cheese adding to help them stick together. We believe that all the cheesy goodness should be on top of the pizza, not hiding in the base!
We’ve got loads of different ideas for pizza recipes – why not take a look?
- Ham and Mushroom Pizza Calzone
- Pizza Boats
- Dominos Fakeaway Pepperoni Passion Pizza
- Rigatoni Pizza Pie

Because this is essentially a pizza topped hash brown, you can even make it for breakfast. Rochelle from our Facebook group made the fabulous variation below!
Topped with finely chopped heck sausages, ham, bacon, tomatoes, red peppers and cheese, Rochelle then made a shallow hole in the middle to put an egg in!
DISCLAIMER; you may need to eat this with a knife and fork. The potato base isn’t as strong as its dough counterpart, but it does taste incredible!

Step 1
Grate your potatoes and place into a colander. Rinse thoroughly and dry well using a clean tea towel or paper towels. Place into a mixing bowl.
Step 2
Chop the onion finely and add it to the potato with the seasoning and the egg. Mix together.
Step 3
Choose your dish/baking tray, spray with low calorie cooking spray and press the potato into a pizza shape. Bake without the toppings for 30 minutes at 150c.
Step 4
Prepare your toppings and grate the cheese. We used ham and mushroom on one pizza and peppers, mushrooms, spring onion and basil on the other.
Step 5
After 30 minutes remove the base from the oven and spread on the tomato purée. Sprinkle over the cheese and add your chosen toppings. Bake for a further 10-15 minutes at 180c.

Another tasty recipe and so cheap to make. Thank you ????
Grainne ohaganSunday 15th October 2017
Had it for dinner to last evening, very tasty,
Too much potato in mine , 2 medium potatoes would have been better, cooked mine a bit longer too, didn’t use frylite anywhere in the method, as it’s wasnt in the instructions but could have sprayed the dish before. Pics on Twitter & instagram #pinchofnom
NikkiFriday 6th October 2017
Is 150 about gas mark 2? I never cook anything as low as that. Thanks
Emma TTuesday 12th September 2017
Hi Marie,
Hope you enjoyed it!
EmmaTuesday 29th August 2017
Would it work if you made the base in advance and then it cooled down? Then added toppings later and cooked again?
Donna LoweSaturday 19th August 2017
hi ya can you use baking potatoes to make this recipe thank you x
Emma TMonday 11th September 2017
Hi Donna,
Any sort of potato should work ????
JoMonday 14th August 2017
Just wondered, it says bake base for half hour but then add toppings after an hour. So do you bake base for half an hour then leave to cool for an hour before adding toppings or have I misinterpreted that?
Thanks in advance
Emma TMonday 11th September 2017
Hi Jo,
It might be a little confusing – it means that once that base has had 30 minutes in the oven, spread over the toppings.
Hope that helps!
Samantha JacobsMonday 19th February 2018
The info says one pizza not how many servings. Is one pizza for one person?
AnnmarieWednesday 9th August 2017
Wasn’t a fan of the cauliflower base pizza but I this looks fantastic
Emma TMonday 11th September 2017
Hi Annmarie,
Hope you enjoyed them!
JoSunday 16th July 2017
Is this for one person?
Emma TTuesday 12th September 2017
Hi Jo,
The portion size is on the recipe ????
Jo McCauslandFriday 16th June 2017
i have made this with an omelette as the base and it is delicious
DanielFriday 2nd June 2017
Hi there Kate.
I am vegan too. Tried to make this and it stuck to a tray and then collapsed. I am not sure if it was my choice of potato. I did not squeeze them as I was not sure what this meant.
Daniel.
Emma TTuesday 12th September 2017
Hi Daniel,
You need to take the grated potato and squeeze it between your hands over a bowl or sink to get rid of the excess water and starch in it ????
LucyFriday 26th May 2017
Thanks so much for this recipe really excited to try it. Quick question have you any recommendation on what type of dish or tray to use to cook the hash brown base? Every with copious frylight the last time I made it it stuck to a baking tray and then I tried it on greaseproof paper and it stuck to that also!
KateMonday 29th May 2017
Hi Lucy
We tend to just use a ceramic quiche dish which we find works well, however, if you have problems with sticking you could try lining the dish with baking parchment rather than greaseproof. Parchment has a coating which makes it better than greaseproof
Susan smithThursday 18th May 2017
Hi the recipes on this page is wonderful they keep[ me on track having different meals so thank you so much

CarolyneMonday 1st May 2017
I really must try this. I havent dared have a pizza for years so something that tastes remotely like one has just go to be done!
KateWednesday 3rd May 2017
Hi Carolyne
In our opinion this is the best non-bread based pizza we’ve tried so far
H xxxSunday 9th April 2017
Amazing! I must try this. However, I’m vegan. Can you suggest another ingredient which might help bind the potato? Or maybe just squeezing out all the liquid from the potato and brute force?Lol Such a simple idea….. can’t wait to try it tomorrow!
KateTuesday 11th April 2017
Hi Holly
You should be ok to just squeeze out the liquid, and press it firmly into the dish. If the potatoes are quite starchy then they should hold together
Loz mac donaldSunday 9th April 2017
Can you use frozen hash browns for the Base ?
TrishWednesday 5th April 2017
Hi do you mix the 1 egg with the potato & then use a different egg for the middle
KateThursday 6th April 2017
Hi Trish
Yes, one to make the base, then another for the topping if you’re making a breakfast pizza
Tracey NelsonWednesday 5th April 2017
Is it possible to make a few of the base & freeze them??- I work 12hr shifts & this would be nice to have without having to make fresh each time.
KateThursday 6th April 2017
Hi Tracey
We’ve not tried freezing them, but they should be ok. If you give it a go let us know how you get on

Louise BTuesday 21st February 2017
Just made this with a topping of chicken, mushroom and red peppers, me and the non-SW husband loved it. The topping is obviously similar to a pizza but the base is different enough that you just enjoy it for what it is, without wishing it was an actual pizza!
David RobertsSunday 29th January 2017
Tried this for breakfast this morning and it was great ( except I burnt the sausages ????). Instructions real easy to follow. I’ll be trying more recipes.
Maria HadjidemetriouMonday 9th January 2017
If you add just a bit of origano the flavor is like an original pizza.
Thank you!
AngelaSunday 8th January 2017
I’ve made this using smash potato on the bottom.
HelenaFriday 6th January 2017
Can you cook the potatoes in the microwave for a bit first and then grate them?
Marcia lawrenceTuesday 3rd January 2017
I use potatoes but i slice mine for the bottom.
