2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, shredded mozzarella cheese, egg, olive oil, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Press the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to form a pizza crust, about 1/2 inch thick.
4. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
5. While the crust is baking, prepare the Som Tum topping by combining shredded papaya, cherry tomatoes, carrots, cilantro, Thai chili, lime juice, and fish sauce in a bowl. Mix well.
