Vegan Pizza!

Posted on 20. Aug, 2008 by Yvonne Smith in Blog

Think you have to give up pizza when you go vegan?  Well, that’s just silly.  Why would you have to do such a thing?  Check out this great list of the top ten vegan-friendly pizzerias in the US.  And if none of these places is near you, remember that you can always order pizza without cheese.  (Just make sure the crust has no animal products.)  It’s really good, I swear!  I get pizza at a few of my local restaurants and order lots of yummy veggies.  I usually end up with way more toppings anyway, which makes my cheese-eating companions envious.

When I prepare pizza at home, I use the cashew ricotta from Veganomicon, which my husband calls a “vegan miracle food.”  (Actually, we use said cashew ricotta for everything from dip to sandwich spreads to casseroles to vegan sushi to quesadillas.  The possibilities are endless.)

Ok, now I’m hungry.  I think I’ll make myself a pizza with cashew ricotta (or the Teese Vegan Cheese I brought home from AR2008), olives, broccoli, artichoke hearts, garlic, fresh basil and Soysage.  Mmmmmmm.
