What do most vegans miss the most? Pizza! But that won’t be the case if you try these awesome vegan pizza recipes. Many are GF, too!

Who doesn’t love pizza? And what’s not to love? Delicious dough topped with an array of deliciousness and then baked until melting and gooey. Can you tell I love the stuff?
In my opinion, pizza is hands down the best fast food takeaway. But when I went vegan, I went without it for some time. As the world slowly caught up to veganism, more plant based options became available, thank heavens. But as a food editor, I’ve gotten used to making my own pizza at home. And do you know what? It tastes even better than takeout!
Want to learn how to do it yourself? Read on!
FIRST, LET’S MAKE TOPPINGS!
Sure, we’re gonna share lots of yummy pizza recipes to make, but if you’re looking for some delicious toppings to throw on top, I’ve found a few of my favourites!
1. Vegan Pepperoni
Pepperoni is a super popular pizza topping, and now you can make your own at home. This is fabulous chopped into thin slices and then scattered on top of your pizza with some cheese. Simple, free from cruelty and oh so tasty!

2. Italian Style Sausages
Sausages are another popular pizza topping, and sure there a plentiful of options in the supermarket these days. But why not make your own healthier versions at home? They’re cheaper and healthier in my opinion! Sizzle these in a pan and then chop and scatter.
