Milton’s Cauliflower Crust Roasted Vegetable Pizza at Costco
On my quest to try all of the frozen pizzas from Costco, I finally got my hands on Milton’s cauliflower crust roasted vegetable pizza. This pizza is of course, found in Costco’s frozen food aisle near the other pizza options.
Costco also sells a fresh non refrigerated Margherita Pizza.
Milton’s pizza isn’t to be confused with the Kirkland Signature cauliflower crust Supreme pizza. While both are cauliflower pizzas, Milton’s is a vegetable pizza, while Costco’s Kirkland Supreme pizza includes meat.

What is Cauliflower Crust Pizza?
Cauliflower Crust pizzas have risen in popularity and have become a gluten-free alternative to traditional pizza crust over the past few years. The crust is made from cauliflower that is grated into the shape of rice and then formed into a pizza crust.
The use of a cauliflower crust for these frozen pizzas is a great option for those with gluten intolerances or celiac disease or even for those who just want a lighter meal. In addition to being gluten-free, the cauliflower crust provides additional nutrients such as vitamin K and C.
What’s Included In The Costco Cauliflower Crust Roasted Vegetable Pizza?
Milton’s Roasted Vegetable pizza comes with a cauliflower crust and is topped with roasted zucchini, red, yellow, and green bell peppers, onions, and a three cheese blend of mozzarella, romano, and parmesan cheese.
This is a respectable vegetable pizza on its own, but the main selling point is the cauliflower crust. While this doesn’t do much to reduce the carbs for a keto diet, it does make the pizza gluten-free.
This cauliflower vegetable pizza, along with the Kirkland Signature Cauliflower Pizza and the Sabatasso’s Gluten Free Pizza, are the only gluten-free pizzas at Costco.
Costco Cost Comparison
Costco sells the 2 pack of Milton’s Cauliflower Crust Roasted Vegetable Pizza for $13.99. This breaks down to a price of $7 per pizza, which is higher than Costco’s other frozen pizzas.
For comparison, the Kirkland Signature cauliflower crust Supreme pizza costs $11.99 for a 2-pack, and the Sabatasso’s Gluten Free Pizza costs $16.99 for a 3-pack ($5.66 per gluten-free pizza).
Costco Vs. The Competition
Milton’s Cauliflower Vegetable Pizza may cost a touch more than some of the other Costco frozen pizza options, but Costco still offers quite the savings over other national retailers.
Target sells one single Milton’s Cauliflower Pizza for $9.99. This price is $3 more expensive per pizza than Costco’s price.
My local Safeway retails Milton’s Cauliflower Pizza for $11.49 but occasionally discounts them to $9.99, the same price as Target’s.
Milton’s Roasted Vegetable Pizza Taste Test
Honestly, I had a few concerns about Milton’s cauliflower crusted veggie pizza. Would the cauliflower crust crisp up as much as a traditional flour crust? Would it have a distinct flavor or taste that overpowered the rest of the pizza? Would the roasted veggies hold up after being frozen?
After tasting the pizza, I have to say my concerns were unfounded, and the roasted veggie pizza was actually quite tasty.
The cauliflower crust did a great job of crisping up to provide a satisfying crunch with every bite and was a sturdy foundation that held all the roasted veggies and cheese together.
The cauliflower flavor in the crust was minimal at best, and I don’t even think I would have noticed if I didn’t know beforehand that the crust was made with cauliflower. I was impressed with the crust and enjoyed the pizza more than I thought I would have.
The veggies were also a pleasant surprise. You never know how frozen veggies would turn out when cooked, but the veggies were flavorful and felt fresh. The roasted zucchini, bell peppers, and onions retained their natural flavors and had a satisfying texture, adding a delightful contrast to the cheesy goodness of the pizza.
Overall, the pizza was great for what it was. Veggies aren’t necessarily my go-to toppings, but the quality was there, and I can see how this would be quite the treat for somebody looking for a veggie/meatless/gluten-free pizza.
How to Cook Costco’s Cauliflower Crust Roasted Vegetable Pizza
Milton’s only has one set of cooking instructions printed on the box of their Cauliflower Crust Roasted Vegetable Pizza.
The thin-crust pizza is meant to be baked in a conventional oven at 425°F for 12-15 minutes. Full instructions below.
Milton’s Roasted Vegetable Pizza Cooking Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F
- Remove the overwrap and cardboard and place the pizza directly on the center oven rack. (For best results, cook pizza from frozen and do not use a baking sheet)
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown.
- Let pizza cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
These heating/cooking instructions are very similar to most of the frozen pizzas from Costco. Check out my Costco frozen pizza cooking directions guide for heating instructions for the rest of Costco’s frozen pizzas and some neat pro tips to make the pizzas taste better.
Low Carb Cauliflower Crust Pizza
Utilizing cauliflower crust for pizza is a fantastic option for those with gluten intolerances, but it can also be an excellent option for those who are on a low-carb/keto diet.
Unfortunately, the Costco Roasted Vegetable Cauliflower Crust Pizza and the rest of the Costco Cauliflower Crust Pizza options are not viable low-carb options. For reference, each cauliflower crust pizza from Costco, including this Milton’s roasted vegetable pizza, will have approximately 25 grams of carbohydrates per serving or 100 grams per pizza.
While you can’t go to your favorite wholesale club and purchase a low-carb cauliflower crust pizza, it is very possible and actually quite easy to make your own at home. Here is a simple recipe from Healthy Recipes Blogs for a 14-gram carbohydrate cauliflower crust.
Costco Roasted Vegetable Pizza Nutrition and Calories
One serving of Milton’s cauliflower roasted vegetable pizza is ¼ of the pizza and will have 230 calories. The 230 calories come from 8 grams of fat, 27 grams of carbs, and 12 grams of protein. The full nutritional label is below:
- Serving Size: ¼ Pizza

This is actually very low calorie for a pizza. Most of Costco’s other frozen pizzas are in the 400 calorie range, so this roasted vegetable at 230 calories is pretty darn good. The entire cauliflower roasted vegetable pizza only has 920 calories. Not saying you should, but you can easily fit in 920 calories if you want to binge and indulge in this pizza.
What really makes the difference here with the calories is the cauliflower crust. You may sacrifice a bit on taste, but the calorie and carbohydrate count drops significantly. Well worth it!
