Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cauliflower rice, melted coconut oil, egg, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Spread the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming a circular pizza shape about 1/2 cm thick.
4. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

6. Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over the top.
7. Add the cooked gator meat, red onion, and bell pepper on top of the sauce.
8. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the entire pizza.
