Pizza night just got a whole lot better for all us veggies – we have the 30 best veggie pizza recipes for you! Get ready for some truly mouth-watering vegetarian pizzas that even meat-eaters will be drooling over.
The only hard thing about veggie pizza recipes is getting the dough right – vegetarian pizza toppings are easy!
Brilliant Bases in Veggie Pizza Recipes
Most of these recipes have comprehensive instructions on how to make a great dough for the base, while others suggest shop bought dough, which is foolproof and a great time saver.
However, given that HURRYING the Food Up is kind of our whole jam, we have included a whole section on flatbread/naan bread veggie pizza recipes!
These recipes use ready made naan or flatbread as a base, so all you have to worry about is what delicious vegetarian pizza toppings to use.
If you don’t have time to proof dough, but you also don’t have any naans, you can make a speedy pizza with a quick flatbread recipe.
This recipe by Jamie Oliver makes stupidly tasty flatbreads using yoghurt! Alternatively, get a load of our pizza-pancake hybrid for another quick way to make a delicious homemade veggie pizza.
Tasty Veggie Pizza Toppings
Unsurprisingly, the most popular veggie pizza toppings tend to be roasted vegetables – and for a good reason! Delicious meaty roast aubergine… juicy charred red pepper…sweet soft onion slices…on top of tangy tomato sauce, smothered in mozzarella- sounds like a homemade vegetarian pizza to die for!
However, veggie pizza recipes do not always have to be tomato sauce based – have you ever tried a white pizza?
A cheese lover’s dream, these pizzas skip the sauce and head straight for the cheese.
Check out this Three-Cheese Garden Pizza. Three cheeses!? Now THAT is the kind of cheese quantity I like to see in a vegetarian pizza recipe!
We also have a section of recipes that show how to make vegetarian pizzas with gluten-free bases (and if you want plant-based pizzas we’ve also got a post on those). No one should miss out on pizza!
There are so many cool, yummy gluten-free options when it comes to pizza crusts – check out our chickpea flour recipe and this awesome red lentil crust.
Hopefully there is a pizza here for everyone…so go forth, and make pizza!

Ingredients
Pizza base:
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1 cup warm water
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp oil
- Pinch of salt
Toppings:
Choose your own. We love:
- 4 tbsp tomato paste (the thick stuff)
- 1-2 tbsp oregano, dried
- 1 small red onion
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (grated)
- ½ cup sweetcorn
- 1 handful olives
- 1 handful arugula (rocket)
- 1 tbsp basil, fresh (dried or more if fresh)
Instructions
- Mix together well the chickpea flour, warm water, garlic powder and baking powder. For best results, cover and leave to rest for thirty minutes. You can skip this step if pushed for time.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F and mix in the olive oil with the wet mix and a pinch of salt.
- Pour the mix into a baking tray with sides and parchment paper. Let it bake for about 8 minutes until it has started to slightly firm.
- Thinly slice the red onion and prepare the cheese, olives and sweetcorn.
- Remove the pizza base from the oven and spread the tomato paste over it sprinkle the dried oregano over it.
- Layer the other ingredients on top, including basil or favourite herbs – except the arugula/rocket, which we rinse and drain now.
- Cook for about another 12 minutes. When everything looks ready and the cheese has melted – pizza is ready! Remove from oven and garnish with arugula/rocket.
- Done. Enjoy!

I’m not a foodie, although I do love eating. I believe food should serve us and our goals, not hinder. Taking control and responsibility for what I eat is important to me. Lots of veggie protein is my way forward.
