There is a well-known saying that goes, “You can’t buy happiness.” But you can buy pizza, and that’s kind of the same thing. In our daily lives, pizza keeps us going. Just consider how appropriate pizza is in every circumstance.
Date night? Pizza!
Movie night? Pizza!!
You are too tired to cook? You place a pizza order!
A family outing? Pizza!!
Are you experiencing a bad breakup? Pizza is a portion of comfort food.
In my opinion, there is no chill if you watch Netflix without any pizza, in my opinion, pizza saves lives.
The most amazing aspect of pizza is that it is not restricted to non-vegetarians. We also have lots of mind-blowing vegan pizza recipes. Vegan pizzas are not just for vegetarians; they are also a healthy option for non-vegans.
Surviving without pizza has been the most difficult challenge for me since I decided to go dairy-free. I would stare at pizza boxes being consumed by my friends and family, and not being able to take a bite frustrated me even more.
Back then, it was uncommon for restaurants to sell vegan pizza; in fact, not all countries have Domino’s that sells vegan pizza. I, therefore, made the brave decision to attempt making my vegan pizza, and it was the best decision I ever made.
Over the years, I began to develop what I considered to be the best vegan pizza recipes, some with the assistance of my friends and family, while others were created solely by me and every vegan recipe created was thoroughly enjoyed by me and my family.
My family have even switched to vegan pizzas due to how delicious these recipes are. Below is one of my favourite and best vegan pizza recipe; every ingredient, including the cheese, is vegan. Yes, the cheese is completely vegan.
A vegan pizza would not be vegan if dairy cheese was used in the recipe, so if you are vegetarian, dairy-free, or on any other type of diet, this recipe is suitable for you.
