For some people the idea of pizza without cheese seems ludicrous, but in fact you can have a very fulfilling, delicious, and much more healthful pizza by leaving off the cheese. Many (if not most) pizza places don’t use dairy or eggs in their crusts, so you can just ask them to hold the cheese. But if you want to get creative and have a little more fun, try making your own pizza! Trader Joe’s sells a pre-made pizza dough (it comes in a plastic bag and is very fresh) as well as some delicious pizza sauce. Grab some garlic, veggies, and vegan cheese if you want it (Daiya works well if you can find it), and personalize your very own pizza pie!
Thanks for posting this. It looks so yummy!!
It’s safest (and freshest) to make pizza at home, because many pizza places do not have vegan dough.
- Pizza Hut’s pan crust contains whey and enzymes, and the stuffed crust contains enzymes and mozzarella cheese. Their thin-crust is vegan though. Pizza Hut’s regular pizza sauce contains beef base, whey, cheese solids (which is made with animal enzymes), buttermilk powder, nonfat milk solids, and MSG.
- Little Caesar’s dough and tomato sauce are vegan.
- Domino’s standard pizza crusts contain whey and the pizza sauce is vegan. One of their four pizza crusts is vegan, but only a select amount of stores have it.
- Papa John’s original pizza dough, breadsticks and the pizza sauce (tomatoes, olive and canola oils) are vegan.

Yay! Pizza! Try taking ‘carne de soya’ or textured soy protein and soaking it in Cajun spices and cook it up in canola oil while ‘spritzing’ it with soy sauce for color!
