Reading your FAQs - Have you tried Teese's new recipe yet? I'm only veggie, but I'm hoping to go vegan soon. I've tried Daiya, FYH, and Teese's mozzarellas. Daiya's mozzarella is too sharp for me and FYH is decent, but Teese's mozzarella is perfect and mellow. If I could ever find Teese over on the east coast, I would buy it all the time for pizza. At least that's my opinion, but I've always preferred margarita style pizzas. (Although Blackbird Pizzeria in Philly makes the Daiya work just fine for me somehow, I've never liked it without a pizza oven to melt it perfectly.)
I have not! I tried Teese’s original formula years ago and didn’t care for it; I think it was a little on the salty side for me, maybe? I should really give the new version a spin, but probably I’ll wait ‘til the winter, since it’s not available locally and shipping perishables in the summer makes me nervous.
fwiw, my husband likes Teese and especially loves the nacho sauce flavor.
Pizza has always been my weakness. I've been vegan for two years now and have not had a decent vegan pizza. So I've decided I'm going to make my own from scratch. Do you have a good recipe for a first time vegan pizza maker? I would really appreciate it!
Hi Sierra! I’ve always had good luck with this recipe, which makes a nice fluffy white crust. I’m also partial to this cornmeal crust, which is a little denser and has a nice “buttery” taste, as well as this crust with ground flax seeds, cause they’re super-healthy and delicious. If you’d rather not make your own dough, you can try buying some premade balls of dough in the supermarket instead; just be sure to read the labels! (I think Trader Joe’s store brand is vegan, but don’t quote me on that. Ditto: Wegmans.)
As far as toppings go, there are lots of vegan meats and cheeses available, if you’re into that sort of thing. My personal favorites are Daiya and Follow Your Heart (just the mozzarella; the cheddar doesn’t melt as well in the oven) for cheese, and Lightlife’s pepperoni and bacon for meats.

This blog makes me want to eat pizza every day.
ME TOO! My pizza consumption has at least doubled since I started this blog, for serious.
NOT THAT I’M COMPLAINING!
Hey.
Have you seen/tried a breakfast pizza before? I have been dying to try and make one for while.
I haven’t tried making a breakfast pizza yet, but I’d like to. I’m thinking vegan nutella with bananas and strawberries? I want to try my hand at homemade nutella anyway, so I can make ice cream with it.
Of course when I do, y’all will be the first to know!
