Oh, how I love homemade pizza!! When I was a kid, we always had pizza on Friday nights and we were so looking forward to that. We called it our “Friday night pizza parties”. We made a huge pizza and then we were allowed to stay up until ten and watch TV with our parents or play games. Good times!

Now that I’m vegan, I still love pizza and there are soooo many delicious vegan pizza recipes! I already posted four vegan pizza recipes on the blog: Spinach artichoke pizza, vegan taco pizza, hummus pizza with veggies, and vegan French bread pizza. And now, I teamed up with some fellow food bloggers to provide you with a stunning list of 18 vegan pizza recipes.

As always, you have to click on the title beneath each picture to see the recipe. So let’s get this pizza party started! I hope you like these recipes as much as I do!

Everyone needs a good Vegan Pizza Recipe in their life. Am I right? However, nobody wants a pizza recipe that is difficult to follow or takes hours for the dough to rise.

Well, this Vegan Pizza Recipe will put the fun back in pizza making. It’s so easy to make and will be on your table in just one hour (or less). Most of that time is just waiting for the dough, so you can sit back and relax while that’s going on.

This is what you’ll need:

For the pizza dough, you’ll need warm water, fast-acting yeast, all-purpose flour, olive oil, sugar, salt and garlic powder.

You can top your pizza with anything you’d like so have fun with it. I kept it simple and added marinara sauce, dried herbs, fresh basil and homemade vegan mozzarella cheese.

Any store-bought melty vegan cheese will work well too.

Making pizzas are fun and easy, but they can be messy (as you can see in my apron above). I did get a little carried away though and It’s not usually that messy, but I really wanted to put Molly’s Suds to the test so I smacked the spoon down while I was adding the sauce to the pizza.

It definitely splatted a little more than anticipated. Oops!

Pizza Dough
Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. (yup, as hot as it goes).
Stir yeast and 1/2 tablespoon sugar into warmed water until dissolved. Let it sit for 7-10 minutes, until foamy.
In a large bowl, add the flour, garlic powder, salt and remaining sugar. Whisk to combine. Add the activated yeast to the bowl along with the olive oil. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and form a dough. If dough is too sticky, add a couple tablespoons of flour.
Form the dough into a ball and place back in the bowl (*lightly dust bowl with flour before placing the dough ball in). Completely cover the bowl with a damp napkin or hand towel for 30 minutes or until dough doubles in size.
*You’ll need a pizza pan or large cutting board ready to transfer the pizza into and out of the oven, but you won’t be cooking on it. The pizza will be cooked on parchment paper only.
Place a large piece of parchment paper over your work area (about the size of your pan). Dust the paper with flour so you can spread your dough easily. * Cut the dough in half using a wet knife. This recipe makes two 10-inch pizzas. I make one pizza at a time. While one is cooking, I’ll prepare the other.
Using your hands, spread dough across the parchment paper into a round pizza shape to your desired thickness. I spread the dough pretty thin because it rises while cooking. The edges should be slightly thicker to form a pillowed crust.
To season your crust, lightly brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and Italian herbs.
Using a spoon, spread the sauce evenly over the pizza and top with the mozzarella.
Carefully slide the parchment paper onto your pan to transfer to the oven. Now slide the parchment paper back off your pan and directly onto the middle oven rack.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. The pizza cooks fast so keep an eye on it.
Recipe Notes
* Makes 2 10-inch pizzas.
* If the yeast doesn’t foam up after 7- 10 minutes, start with a new packet. Make sure the water is warm, but not too hot or it won’t work.

* Nutritional info does not contain the mozzarella cheese topping.
