Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use any type of pizza dough?

Yes, you can use any type of pizza dough you prefer, including gluten-free or whole wheat. You can also use store-bought or homemade dough, depending on what you have available.

What can I substitute for vegan feta cheese?

If you don’t have vegan feta cheese, you can use other vegan cheese alternatives or simply omit it. Nutritional yeast can also add a cheesy flavor if desired.

Can I make this pizza ahead of time?

You can prepare the pizza ahead of time by assembling it and refrigerating it before baking. Bake it just before serving to ensure the crust stays crispy.

What can I use instead of Kalamata olives?

If you don’t have Kalamata olives, you can use other types of olives like green olives or black olives. Adjust the quantity to your taste.

How do I make a vegan pizza without tomato sauce?

You can use a variety of sauces instead of tomato sauce, such as a pesto sauce, hummus, or a vegan white sauce. Adjust the toppings to complement your chosen sauce.

Can I add more vegetables?

Absolutely! Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or spinach to suit your taste and make the pizza even more flavorful.

How can I ensure the crust is crispy?

To achieve a crispy crust, preheat your oven and pizza stone or baking sheet thoroughly. Also, avoid overloading the pizza with toppings, which can make the crust soggy.

Cooking Tips

Preheat the Oven: Ensure your oven and pizza stone (if using) are fully preheated to 475°F (245°C) to achieve a crispy crust.
Roll Out the Dough Evenly: Roll the pizza dough out to an even thickness to ensure it cooks uniformly.
Use Parchment Paper: If you’re not using a pizza stone, bake the pizza on a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy handling and cleanup.
Don’t Overload with Toppings: Keep toppings evenly distributed and not too thick to avoid a soggy crust.
Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the crust with olive oil before adding sauce and toppings to enhance crispiness and flavor.
Pre-Cook Some Toppings: For denser vegetables like artichokes or mushrooms, consider sautéing them briefly before adding to the pizza to ensure they cook through properly.
Let it Cool Slightly: Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing to help the toppings set and make cutting easier.

Ingredients

1 pre-made pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
1 tablespoon olive oil (to brush pizza crust) – optional
½ cup pizza or marinara sauce
1 – 2 sliced tomatoes, (or 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved)
½ red onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
⅓ cup artichoke hearts, quartered
¼ cup roasted red peppers, diced
¼ cup vegan feta cheese, crumbled
fresh basil leaves
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
1 garlic, thinly sliced or minced (optional)
pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the dough with olive oil, especially around the edges for a crispy crust.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough.
Layer the toppings over the sauce. Add the red onion, garlic, sliced tomatoes, Kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, and vegan feta cheese evenly over the pizza. Sprinkle with the herbs (thyme, oregano and dash of red pepper).
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven or onto the pizza stone.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are heated through.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve warm.
