Yes, vegans can absolutely eat pizza—you just need the right ingredients! 🍕🌱✨
✅ What Makes a Pizza Vegan?
To be vegan, your pizza must exclude all animal products:
- ❌ No cheese (unless it’s vegan cheese)
- ❌ No meat toppings (pepperoni, sausage, etc.)
- ❌ No dairy in the crust (some traditional recipes use milk or butter)
🌿 How to Make or Order a Vegan Pizza
💚 Vegan Pizza Crust:
- Most thin crusts are vegan (flour, water, yeast, olive oil)
- Double-check for dairy or eggs in certain hand-tossed or deep-dish crusts
🥫 Sauce:
- Classic tomato sauce is usually vegan—just avoid creamy sauces (like Alfredo or ranch-based)
🧀 Cheese:
- Use vegan cheese (made from cashew, almond, coconut oil, soy, or tapioca starch)
- Or go cheeseless—just add more veggies and drizzle with olive oil or vegan pesto!
🍄 Toppings:
- All veggies: mushrooms, olives, spinach, onions, peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, artichokes, arugula
- Plant-based meats: vegan pepperoni, sausage, or tofu
- Add-ons: avocado, basil, nutritional yeast, balsamic glaze
🍕 Where to Get Vegan Pizza:
- Pizza chains like Blaze Pizza, MOD Pizza, and Pizza Pizza offer vegan cheese and plant-based meats
- Gourmet spots often have creative vegan options with cashew cheese or house-made pesto
- Or DIY at home with a store-bought vegan crust and your fave toppings
