There are many things that go into determining the best vegan pizza, and much of it is grounded in nostalgia. If your family traditions included going to your local New York-style pizzeria on Friday nights, you probably wanted a thin but flexible crust. If deep dish was your childhood celebratory food, you might swoon over this casserole-style pie. It wasn’t until college that I was exposed to Neapolitan pie that I discovered truly ‘delicious’ pizza.

“The best vegan pizza should be all organic and handmade with love. This pizza will nourish your body, mind and soul! Tara, owner of Pura Vita Pizzeria says Punzone.

Beyond style of crust, the best vegan pizza is determined by its toppings. I’ve found that adding a few drops of artisanal vegan cheese improves it…and perhaps a balsamic glaze or vegan hot honey—to further enhance the flavor. Add nut-based ricotta his cheese or melty mozzarella and you can order a pie on the spot.

Brands also lean towards our desire for more cheese. Miyoko Siner, widely known as the “Queen of Vegan Cheese,” has brought her mozzarella cheese to the market, which is vegan and easy to pour, especially for pizza.

“My goal was to make pizza-worthy vegan cheese,” Schinner told us when the product first launched. It’s a vegan pizza cheese that inspires people to change the cheese and change the world.”

Vegan pizza isn’t all that rare these days. Many national quick-service chains offer vegan cheese (more on that here), and most grocery stores have at least a few brands of vegan frozen pizza in their freezer aisles. If you’re looking for a reliable pie that can be reheated as needed, look to Blackbird Foods or The Pizza Plant.

I always appreciate gestures from non-vegan pizzerias when they wholesale vegan cheeses and plant-based meats, but for this list, I’m looking for something a little more unique than your average pizza.

The list is made up of slices that make you want to eat the whole pie, pies that make you go out of your way for a different flavor, and truly original flavor combinations that are initially questionable but at first make all the sense in the world. Tastes good.

10 Exceptional Vegan Pizzas

From New York to Los Angeles and anywhere in between, here are the best vegan pizzas with the wow factor.

Pura Vita Pizzeria

1 Pura Vita Pizzeria in West Hollywood and Redondo Beach, California

Pillow crusts and outstanding vegan cheeses are what set this Los Angeles-based pizzeria apart. The restaurant serves both Bianca (white) and Rossa (red) pies. The former is loaded with decadent béchamel, while the latter is topped with a bright and tangy San Marzano he tomato sauce. With his nine different pizzas to choose from, plus the option to add ingredients, the decision can be numbing. I recommend dining with a friend and splitting a few pies from both sections. Capricciosa (tomato sauce, mushrooms, artichokes, shiitake bacon, olives, mozzarella) and de Rose (ricotta, mozzarella, broccoli rabe, garlic, chili flakes) are two of our favorites.

A stop at this permanent pizza pop-up is a must when in Honolulu. Made in a wood-fired oven, the speckled Neopolitan-style crust is light and airy with just the right amount of chewiness and a very charred outer edge. Don’t be put off, the simple but well-executed toppings will make you think twice about sharing. there is. If you want heat, order the vegan hot honey.

3 San Diego California Tribute Pizza

This North Park neighborhood pizza concept isn’t just vegan, but in our humble opinion, it can easily survive a dedicated plant-based menu. (named after Mozza’s iconic Nancy Silverton Salad) is as tempting as the pizzas here, and it’s big enough for two. Moving on to the main course pizza, choose from 6 different options and her 3 unique crust styles (Grandma, New York, Neo-Neopolitan). First-time guests can’t go wrong with the neo-neopolitan style Super Vegan 7.5. The root vegetable marinara sauce for this pie is excellent.

The name of this vegan pizzeria is misleading. Everyday Pizza was born from the heart behind Denver’s popular Somebody People restaurant and features perfect plant-based pies that are worth a plane ticket to Mile His High His City. A tight menu of puffy-covered 12-inch pizzas includes six of his options that vary slightly depending on the season. A standout is the hearty falafel topped with blue oyster mushrooms, cremini, parsley, black pepper-garnished mushrooms, almond tzatziki, ginger, red cabbage, pickled onions and cilantro.

Caramelized onion spread and marinara drizzled with a drizzle of nutritional yeast. For those looking for heavier toppings, check out the new map of Hell, made with a medley of pesto spreads, meaty soy curls, and vegetable toppings.

7 Free Soul Cafe in Tustin, California

Tucked away on a quaint red brick patio one block off the main street in Old Town Tustin, CA, Freesoulcaffe is a true hidden gem. Everything about its eclectic menu shines, and the vegan pizza is the best pizza in Southern California. It is placed on a crunchy Neapolitan-style crust. Every pizza here is worth trying.

Amatza

8 Ammazza in Atlanta and Decatur, Georgia

It’s not surprising to find vegan pizza at an omnivorous restaurant, but it’s somewhat rare to see homemade vegan cheese at a place that also sells dairy cheese. While relying on its wholesale options, Ammazza is dedicated to offering its own decadent cashew-based cheese. Find it in vegan pies like the vegan picante with housemade tomato sauce, Calabrian peppers, caramelized onions, red peppers, marinated artichoke hearts and basil, and tarft with wild mushrooms, truffle oil and basil. With seven dedicated vegan options, decisions can be polarizing, but with the perfect crust and flavorful toppings, you’ll be happy with whatever you choose in the end.view the details
