Zucchini Pizza Crust

VNess's Note:

Just ran across this solution to the gf pizza crust dilemma and am SO excited to try this! Not exactly "traditional" in terms of flavor, but if you're ok with that and are with me- pizza's all about the toppings (esp veggies), it's worth a try :-) I've lightened it up a bit, but am sure that any gf cheese would work well.
