Default I tried a gluten free pizza crust this weekend.

You could use a couple of tablespoons of ground flax seed mixed with
hot water to make a slurry, it gets very
sort of slimy and is a good binder. The cheese is a good binder as
well.

I just took all the ingredients and put them in my cuisinart and
pulsed till I got the proper consistency. Way
easier than the methodology in the recipe. I didn't use the fennel, I
used an Italian herb blend I had on hand.

I might use some zucchini as well the next time I make this. I'm
thinking a chicken, spinach, mushroom and feta with a bit of oilive
oil and garlic for the sauce topping would be really good as well.
I didn't use more that three or four tablespoons of the red pizza
sauce, I didn't want the crust to get soggy. It worked very well.
Lots of possibilities here.

It's really low carb for those who are low carbing it.
