The BEST vegan pizza is made with a garlic-herb crust, simple tomato sauce, TONS of sauteed veggies, and vegan parmesan cheese. Thin crust, has tons of flavor and is ridiculously satisfying.

Pizza With Pumpkin Marinara Recipe
These pumpkin arugula flatbreads are addictive and light—just watch them disappear when served at a family gathering.
And remember, we’re huge fans of pumpkin because it’s a superfood that packs a nutritional punch of beta-carotene, vitamin A, and fiber.
Dandelion Green Pesto, Fresh Fig and Gorgonzola Pizza with Prosciutto.
As much as I love the dandelion pesto, the figs are still my favorite part of this pizza. Figs, cheese and Italian meats go incredibly well together, and when combined with a little honey + balsamic and some killer pesto, well, you have the perfect pizza!
Winter White Pizza with Delicata Squash & Gouda {gluten-free}
There are less than a handful of colorful toppings, yet they all play an important role. The arugula is the peppery bite to the sweetness of the delicata, the red onion packs a savory jab, and the cheese…..The gouda is so creamy!
Tlayuda (Mexican Pizza)
Rather than making an Italian-inspired pizza for pizza night, try using Mexican flavors instead. This tasty pizza recipe uses mole sauce, queso Oaxaca, and black beans in place of traditional pizza ingredients. Tips: it would be easy to sub the flour tortilla for a GF alternative.
