5 Ways to Spice Up a Vegan Pizza

what is vegan pizza

Choosing to eat vegan pizza is one of the most popular trends these days. This is because of the many benefits that eating a vegan diet can have for your health. For instance, a vegan diet does not include dairy products, so this means you can eat a lot more fruits and vegetables without worrying about gaining weight. The other advantage is that a vegan diet does not include any animal products.

Mushrooms

Adding mushrooms to your vegan pizza is a fun, delicious way to spice up the traditional pie. Portobello mushrooms are delicious and can be served with a variety of toppings. Portobello mushrooms are low carb, gluten free and are packed with flavor.

You can top your mushroom pizza with mozzarella, pesto, pesto pasta, vegan bacon or anything else you can think of. The key is to get the texture right and make sure the cheese melts.

Pineapple

Whether you’re making a pineapple pizza from scratch, or buying store bought dough, there are some things you should know. The most obvious of these is that you should not skimp on the ingredients. For instance, you can buy pre-made vegan mozzarella cheese, which will be far healthier than if you had to make it yourself.

For a really good pizza, you should use all-purpose flour, which is organic if possible. You can also add olive oil to your pizza dough for better results.

Jackfruit

Taking a page out of the Big American’s book, they have come out with a vegan pizza aficionado’s dream come true. The pizza uses plant based ingredients, such as cauliflower, kale, and tofu, and it’s available at most Big Americans locations. It’s a snazzy looking slab of cheese with a tangy smaak.

Big American isn’t the only company taking a shot at the vegan pizza game. For instance, pub grub chain Head of Steam has four vegan options, including the aforementioned ‘chicken’ and a vegan duck that has just as many meaty counterparts. Likewise, Italian chain Zizzi has a vegan pizza that’s as satisfying to the palate as it is to the wallet.

Onions

Whether you’re making a simple slice or a fancy gourmet meal, a vegan pizza with onions is a great way to add a bit of flavor to your meal. You can top it with sweet caramelized onions or add vegan bacon to give it a smoky flavor. If you don’t want to use bacon, you can try some barbecue sauce.

Olives

Adding olives to your vegan pizza recipe will add a touch of sophistication to your meal. Olives are an important ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine, and they add great flavor to this tasty vegan dish.

A good way to use olives in your recipe is to make a homemade olive pizza. To create your own homemade olive pizza, you will need olives, light pizza sauce, and a few other ingredients.

Vegan cheese substitutes

Whether you’re looking to add a touch of cheesy flavor to your pizza or you’re just trying to avoid dairy products altogether, vegan cheese substitutes are the perfect answer. In fact, many non-dairy cheeses actually go through the same process as dairy cheese, but without the dairy!

There are many varieties of vegan cheese, ranging from nut-based alternatives to smoked cheddar. You can even make your own vegan cheese at home!

Final thoughts..

Finding a Pizza restaurant that offers vegan options is not always as easy as it would seem. One restaurant that’s been suggested to me is Your Pie Pizza. Their Vegan options are supposed to be delicious and 100% vegan friendly, they have outlets all over the USA.

Your Pie is a brick-oven pizza restaurant that creates amazing craft series recipes that work well with vegan substitutes. A couple favorites that really spice up a vegan diet are the Lineage Supreme and Hot Honey Pepperoni.

Lineage Supreme with vegan substitutes is an excellent, fully loaded option including marinara, vegan cheese, red onions, mushrooms, green peppers, black olives, plant-based pepperoni, and plant-based sausage. If you don’t have a Your Pie near you, try making this at home with Sweet Earth plant-based pepperoni and Gardein or Beyond plant-based sausage crumbles.

Your Pie’s craft series Hot Honey Pepperoni is a favorite among vegans to make at home. Combine marinara, vegan moz, pickled jalapenos, sweet peppadew peppers, basil, vegan feta (Follow Your Heart is an excellent choice!), Sweet Earth plant-based pepperoni, and finally, a mixture of your favorite vinegar-based hot sauce with agave.
