A delicious homemade vegan pizza with a crispy golden crust, tangy tomato sauce, melted vegan mozzarella, and colorful vegetables. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a casual plant-based meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 pizza dough (10–12 inch)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup tomato pizza sauce
  • 1 cup vegan mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup black olives, sliced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 6–8 fresh basil leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats.
  2. Lightly flour a work surface and roll or stretch the pizza dough into a round shape about 10–12 inches wide. Transfer the dough to a pizza pan or parchment paper.
  3. Brush olive oil over the dough and spread the tomato pizza sauce evenly across the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Sprinkle vegan mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  5. Add mushrooms, bell peppers, red onion, black olives, and cherry tomatoes evenly over the pizza.
  6. Season the toppings with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  7. Bake the pizza in the oven for 12–15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the toppings are cooked.
  8. Remove from the oven, top with fresh basil leaves, let cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes

  • You can customize the toppings with vegetables like spinach, artichokes, or roasted zucchini.
  • Sun-dried tomatoes or caramelized onions add extra flavor.
  • Sprinkle nutritional yeast or chili flakes for additional depth and heat.
  • Baking on a preheated pizza stone helps create a crispier crust.
  • Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
