fuck yeah vegan pizza

Vegan breakfast pizza:

Vegan crust, olive oil mixed with basil and oregano as the base, spinach, fresh basil leaf, tofurky sausage with sundried tomato (2 links), green jalapeño pepper, sundried tomatoes, thyme stalk and a mix of shredded jack and mozzarella daiya. Bake for 20 mins and enjoy!

It’s creamy and savory and satisfies all need for oozing yummy fun with a hard crust! Made this for a brunch and even my non vegan friends were begging for

more!

Happy eating guys,

Zoe

I couldn’t bearing scrolling through my dash and seeing vegan pizza after vegan pizza, so i finally made my own. homemade whole wheat crust, topped with cilantro, homemade cashew curry coconut cream sauce, tomato, roasted acorn squash, mushrooms, chopped okinawa spinach, and vegan “chorizo”. i topped it with avocado once it cooled a bit. everything but the chorizo was bought from my local organic co-op!

This was my first vegan pizza, so I kept it simple. It came out great! I used a Pillsbury Pizza Crust, Prego sauce, Daiya mozzarella, onions, fresh basil, and Smart Deli’s “veggie protein slices” of pepperoni. Since then I’ve used Pillsbury’s thin crust, which comes out nice and crunchy, and I’ll throw some green peppers and black olives on there. I usually put garlic powder and oregano in the sauce, and sometimes basil and red pepper flakes. The pizzas keep turning out better and better, and this tumblr gives me so many great ideas! (Maniacal laugh) Keep it up!

…you’re all winners! But you already knew that, of course. wink, wink

Anyway, before I announce the winners (the BIG TIME winners!), a quick note on how we got here. As the entries came in, I entered the info into a spreadsheet, with fields for the entry number, the pizza-nista’s tumblr name or email address, a link to the post, and any other notes I might have (basically just pertaining to location and whether I knew it for sure or was guessing; blah blah blah). After the contest was closed to submissions, I used a random number generator to choose four winners - three from the US/Canada and one for the UK. 

(I won’t bore y’all with the screenshots, but if you want to see them for your own bad selves, I’ve uploaded them to my flick account; look in the Early Vegan Pizza Day set!)

Our UK winner is contestant numero uno, Keith, who made this Superbly Simple Pizza:

I’ve already gotten in touch with Keith; when we last exchanged emails, he reported: “Guess what, I’m cooking pizza right now!” Rock on, Keith. ROCK ON!

As for the US/Canada giveaway, the first name/number to come out of the hat, so to speak, was #33, Natalia from Quebec! More specifically, it’s Natalia’s Tofu and Green Gluten Free Pizza that won the day!

Our next winner is #70, Vegan Food Addict! VFA submitted three mouth-watering entries, but it was zher’s Pestorrific Spinach Artichoke Pizza that triumphed!

Last but not least is #67, learning vegan, with these super fun and delicious breakfast/lunch/brunch/dinner/snack time/any time toasted English muffin ‘zas!

And don’t think that I’ve forgotten about our mini-giveaway! No way!

To pick a winner, I copied the notes on the post, pasted them into a spreadsheet, stripped out the irrelevant info (e.g., “likes,” my own activity on the post, etc.), and ended up with 17 entries. The random number generator chose #8, luckicharms!

Congratulations to all our lucky winners! I hope that you and your pizza stuffs are very happy together! Check your ask boxes (or inboxes, if I have your email address), you should have a message from me! (I’m ibtk on tumblr.) You have 72 hours to reply, and the clock starts ticking…NOW!

Also, yay to us on our first major giveaway! You guys sent in over 100 entries (100 from the US and Canada and 8 from the UK, to be exact!) and we also picked up just over 100 new followers, to boot! SUCCEED!

To our new readers, I hope you like what you see and decide to stick around awhile. I have some fun stuff planned in the coming months, and plotting and scheming is already underway for the REAL Vegan Pizza Day, which has been moved to June 28, 2012.

& now if you’ll excuse me, I need a shower.

This is the traditional cheese on the bottom, thick cornmeal dusted crust, bubbling hot garlicy tomato sauce, slightly charred Parmesan cheese topped, spinach pizza from which all deep dish pizzas descend from. Made with of Kaas Soy Mozzarella and Galaxy Vegan Parmesan this pizza has evolved. It is as close as one can get to the Traditional Chicago Style Pizza without being in the Windy City, of course finding a vegan version in “The Hog Butcher to The World” is close to impossible. This one was made on Vashon Island, WA and was made to cheer up my sweetheart who was having a bad day.

My wife was confused by my proposed rosé sauce for our final pizza, but in the end she says it was her favorite! I’m calling it a vegan primavera pizza.

We made the rosé sauce by mixing together plain tofutti better than cream cheese with our roasted red pepper tomato sauce and some extra garlic. It was so good we kept the extra and to dip our crusts in. Yum! We topped it with oven-roasted red peppers, sautéed broccoli and vegan parm.

Canadian pizza deliciousness.

Pizza number 2 tasted surprisingly like pizza hut. yum!

homemade crust brushed with olive oil and topped with a roasted red pepper and garlic tomato sauce, artichoke hearts, oven-roasted red peppers, kalamata olives (that we had previously marinated with lemon zest, garlic and hot peppers) and smothered in delicious melty daiya italian style shreds.

dinner’s ready in Montreal, CA!

[Yes please and thank you. - ed.]

Thai Curry Pizza - The sauce is my homemade curry w/ coconut milk (tastes amazing!), topped with daiya, bell peppers & sriracha.

Bonjour from Canada! The wife and I made three delicious vegan pizzas this weekend. All three started with our delicious homemade vegan crust and were baked on a pizza stone (thanks mom!).

Here’s the first scrumptious pizza:

For this one, we caramelized some onions in a pan with olive oil, s&p and a bit of sweetener. Then we spread it on the crust and topped it with finely chopped sundried tomatoes, slices artichoke hearts and toasted pine nuts. Fancy!

Even our kitty wanted a slice:
