Vegan Pizza





For many years I relished eating pizzas brimming with cheese. One fine day, when I decided to become a vegan, I realised that I could no longer eat pizzas with cheese.

As a vegan I started to enjoy eating cheeseless pizzas. Recently I came across numerous vegan blogs with vegan pizzas loaded with vegan cheese. Many vegans had blogged about the Vegan Gourmet Cheese, made by Follow Your Heart.

I recently made pizza with vegan gourmet mozarella cheese, and I was surprised to find out that it tasted so much like real cheese. The pizza was delicious! I'm so happy to find a cheese, which not only tastes great but is also cruel-free.

Where can you find this delicious vegan cheese? Visit this webpage to find stores which carry vegan cheese.

I think pizza with or without vegan cheese is still yummy. I love the purple onions on your pizza.

I don't know if this option is available in India.
But one way I cut down on calories on my pizza is to use paneer. Since this is not a vegan option perhaps crumbled tofu would do. I've never tried it though.

That's a gorgeous pizza, Kumudha. I love making my own pizza too, but my favorite for delivery is Z pizza - they have a killer Berkeley soy cheese veggie pizza.

That pizza looks incredibly delicous! I just recently tried "Teese" and I really like it.

I have heard really bad things about Follow Your Heart "cheese," but I agree with you--I think it's awesome on pizza! I actually don't miss cheese (or meat) at all, so usually I enjoy cheeseless pizzas... But once in awhile, it's nice to add something creamy to the top!

Have you tried Teese yet??? It's a new-ish brand of vegan cheese that actually melts under normal temperatures and tastes A LOT like mozzarella!! I highly recommend it for those cheesy cravings. (I've only found it on VeganEssentials.com so far--not any grocery stores--yet.)

I battle to get vegan cheese here but it doesn't really matter as I have now got used to pizza without it and love trying new combinations.

A very terrible experience about 10 years ago soured me on the whole packaged vegan cheese thing and now I'm so hesitant to try it again. I think I finally need to just get my butt in gear and get some. Glad to see another good review of it.

I think FYH does make the best cheese for melting, but I've gotten used to not using any at all and that's actually my preference now. But glad that you've found a cheese you enjoy and can get!

That cheese will take another decade to come here:) Meanwhile I am still on the lookout for the perfect pizza without cheese:)

Lovlie said...

Wow! That pizza looks amazingly delicious! I haven't made a pizza for a long long time! Oh, how I wished vegan mozzarella was available over here! I usually just make no-cheese pizzas but I would love to taste that cheese you got there!

Any one ever made a nutritional yeast "cheese" sauce? Awesome for a vegan pizza!

Hi listen, I will tell you how to make a good pizza: you should add 800 grams of semolina into the bread 2 teaspoons of caster sugar with dirty water obviously then we can put one and a half teaspoons of salt… and 2 and a half tablespoons of olive oil without cheese. Then add 10 grams of dried yeast. This is the ingredient which will make the dough rise. Mix well and you'll see the best pizza. I hope you like it dear blogger! 23jj
