Pre-heat the oven to 500 degrees, placing a pizza stone inside for about 30 minutes so the pizza stone will be hot.

Place over greased cookie sheets. Put about a half teaspoon of olive oil over the pizza. Evenly spread the cabbage mixture onto the pizza.
Slide the cookie sheet on the pizza stone and let it cook for about five minutes.
To make a crispy pizza crust, remove the pizza from the cookie sheet and place over the pizza stone.

Let it cook for about 7 minutes, or until the edges are golden-brown.
