How To Make Pizza Recipe Veg

As a vegetarian for over a decade, I’ve eaten quite a few veggie pizzas. Truly fantastic veggie pizzas are few and far between. So, I combined all of the elements I’ve enjoyed over the years to create my own “ultimate” veggie pizza recipe. This is the best homemade veggie pizza I’ve ever had, and I hope you’ll say the same!

This vegetarian pizza recipe will delight vegetarians and carnivores alike. It’s fresh and full of flavor, featuring cherry tomatoes, artichoke, bell pepper, olives, red onion and some hidden (and optional) baby spinach. You’ll find a base of rich tomato sauce and golden, bubbling mozzarella underneath, of course.

The trick with loaded veggie pizzas, as many pizza shops seem to forget, is that they require a few extra minutes in the oven to develop full flavor and structure. Don’t stop baking until the cheese is deeply golden in spots. Otherwise, you might end up with floppy pizza that doesn’t live up to its true potential.

Favorite Veggie Pizza Recipe

Start with my easy whole wheat pizza dough, and this recipe is ready in about 45 minutes, start to finish. This vegetable pizza is quicker and healthier than delivery!

This pizza starts with a base of my whole wheat pizza dough. As an alternative, use one pound of store-bought pizza dough, which you can divide by two to follow my recipe exactly (or just make one large pizza—that also works with store-bought dough).

Then we’ll add the following. This recipe is truly very flexible—you can skip any of them if you don’t like ’em or don’t have ’em. Use more of one for less of another. Easy!

Easy Healthy Pizza (20 Minutes!)

You have a few options here. You can use my go-to pizza sauce recipe, which is truly so easy! Or, use your favorite marinara sauce, homemade or store-bought.

Canned or jarred marinated artichoke is an easy addition here. I sliced my jarred quartered artichokes in half again to make bite-sized wedges.

Ever had sliced almonds on your pizza? It’s a trick I’ve learned from a couple of local pizzerias. The almonds offer some toasty flavor and crunch. I’ve heard from some readers who really love this addition, and a few who don’t—it’s up to you!

Hot from the oven, I like to top this veggie pizza with red pepper flakes, fresh basil leaves and finely grated Parmesan.

Make the BEST veggie pizza at home! This mouthwatering vegetarian pizza recipe features fresh cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, artichoke, spinach and more. Recipe yields two 11-inch pizzas or 1 large (about 6 to 8 servings).

Change it up: On top of the mozzarella, use any combination of the suggested toppings (up to 3 cups t0tal). The spinach and almonds are not essential.

Pizza night doesn't HAVE to mean it's unhealthy! Heck, I think even more indulgent foods are healthy to have every once in a while. It's all about moderation, right? But you don't have to worry about moderation with this veggie-packed pizza. It's cheesy, bright, full of fresh vegetables, and made with a simple homemade crust that you'll be shocked by how easy it is to make. It's our go-to when we want a simple dinner that still has good nutrients but tastes super fun and indulgent.

Classic Vegan Pizza

You can totally make this pizza your own, too. I love using a wide mix of colorful vegetables, but it's flexible as can be. Don't have all the veggies suggested below? Use what you have or love on pizza! Want to add some meat to give a little protein kick? Go for it! Pepperoni or sausage would be divine on this. Have fun and make it your own. Pizza shouldn't be serious anyway!

The best veggies to use on pizza are ones that are quick cooking since the pizza doesn't bake in the oven for all that long! For that reason, root vegetables like carrots or potatoes aren't the best options to use, unless you pre-cook them or cut them really small. My favorite veggies to use on pizza are mushrooms, bell peppers, onion, black olives, tomatoes, and fresh herbs!

Warm water:The warm water activates the yeast, which makes the dough rise. Careful it's not too hot, or else it'll kill the yeast.

Simple Veggie Pizza With Homemade Tomato Sauce — Project Sunny

Granulated sugar:A little sugar in the dough balances the hearty, savory flavors of the pizza. It won't taste sweet and acts more as a balancer.

Veggies: I love using mushrooms, sweet bell peppers, red onion, black olives, and roma tomato. Top with fresh herbs after baking, like basil or parsley!

Sometimes I think leftover pizza is even better than the fresh kind! To store pizza, let it cool completely before placing in an airtight bag or container. You don't want to stack slices right on top of on another; if you have to stack them to fit, place pieces of parchment paper between slices so the toppings don't come off of the bottom piece.

Supreme Vegetarian Pizza (so Easy!)

Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or the freezer for up to 4 months. To reheat, place pizza on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a 350 degree F. oven for 10 minutes, or until heated through. For frozen pizza, do the same but cook a bit longer, between 15 to 20 minutes. (You can also eat pizza cold straight out of the fridge... I think it's delicious!)

This easy homemade veggie pizza is a delicious way to incorporate bright, fresh veggies into a meal that tastes decadent! The homemade pizza crust is everything and comes together quickly, too.

Homemade garden veggie pizza is such a simple way to get more nutritious vegetables in, in a way that's way more fun than your typical salad!
