The BEST Vegan Pizza

This vegan pizza is the BEST I've ever had. It's topped with simple ingredients like marinara, garlic and oregano, plus a little vegan mozzarella cheese which takes this pizza from good to amazing. It's made with your favorite store-bought pizza dough, and it comes together in just 30 minutes!

Ingredients

  • 1 ball pizza dough
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • ¼ teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes or more to taste

  • vegan mozzarella
  • 5-8 fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • Roll out the dough and place it on a pizza stone or in an oven-proof skillet.
  • Brush the dough with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic, oregano and red pepper flakes on top. Then, add marinara sauce evenly over dough, then the tomatoes, vegan mozzarella*, and basil. Bake the pizza for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden on the edges and the tomatoes are soft.
  • Add more fresh basil on top, slice and enjoy!

Notes

*If you add the mozzarella right away, it will bake more into the dough and brown a bit on top (as seen in the recipe video). This is FINE and totally normal. However, if you want the cheese to look a little more like traditional mozzarella cheese, bake the pizza WITHOUT the mozzarella for 15 minutes, then remove the pizza from the oven, add the mozzarella and bake for 5 more minutes.
