If I’m totally honest with you, vegan pizza recipes never appealed to me. The idea of a pizza without cheese seems a bit depressing, doesn’t it?

I certainly thought so…. until I actually began to look into vegan pizza recipes and discovered that there are so many delicious options!

The Best Vegan Cheese for the Best Vegan Pizza Recipes

It helps that there are more vegan cheeses on the market than ever before – check out the best cheese for vegan pizzas, grilled cheeses etc.

However, I would argue that cheese isn’t actually strictly necessary – lots of plant-based pizzas don’t use any plant-based cheese and are still super tasty (though if you do eat cheese, check out our veggie pizza recipes too!). This Broccoli Kale and Hazelnut pizza recipe is a great example.

Back to base-ics: Vegan Pizza Dough

Vegan pizza recipes start, of course, with vegan pizza dough. Luckily this is pretty easy to do, as most doughs are made from flour, water, olive oil and a bit of salt.

Some of the recipes in this round-up have instructions for making dough with wheat flour, however we have also included a section of gluten free vegan pizza recipes, such as this cauliflower vegan pizza crust.

And if you don’t have time to make dough at all (it can be time consuming!) but you still fancy a vegan pizza, check out our section of vegan flatbread pizzas. These plant-based pizzas use ready made flatbread/naan as a base.

Getting Saucy with Vegan Pizzas

For sauce, there is always the classic tomato base, but have you tried a white pizza? These use a creamy white sauce instead of a tomatoey one. Think that sounds impossible to make vegan? Think again!

This plant-based pizza recipe shows you how to make a delicious almond ricotta- fantastic for a white pizza that is still dairy-free!

Or try out a vegan pizza recipe that uses hummus as a sauce, for an exciting alternative to traditional recipes.

Tip-Top Toppings

My go to for vegan pizza toppings is 100% roasted vegetables, because they are delicious, healthy and cheap (we’ve got a few good pizza recipes on our cheap veggie meals round up!).

However, if you want to treat yourself to something more indulgent, make yourself a cheeseburger pizza, a taco pizza, or a chilli dog pizza!

These homemade vegan pizzas certainly do not skimp!

Enjoy! 🙂
