A veggie-packed pizza that everyone will love!

Skip to recipe.

My son is such a picky eater and even he loved this pizza. It’s so delicious and packed with mushrooms and other delicious toppings! I’m a devoted cheese pizza fan, and I thought this was incredible. Maybe it’s because I have an obsession with mushrooms? Not sure, but this one was worth sacrificing a cheese pizza night.

Ingredient details:

• Yeast – I use Fleischmann’s Rapid Rise yeast for this dough.
• Water – Get the water very warm before mixing with the yeast. Your dough will be extra happy!
• Flour – I always use King Arthur.
• Onion – I used a yellow onion and cut it in long slices.
• Garlic – I used 6 cloves for this recipe. I definitely have a “more the merrier” mentality when it comes to garlic.
• Vegan Cheese – I used some cheddar and mozzerella for the topping. I feel like the flavor combination adds some dimension and color to the pizza.
• Olives – I just used canned olives. I accidently got whole, but it doesn’t matter much what you get because I still chopped them up a bit into small pieces.
• Mushrooms – I used baby bella mushrooms.
• Green Bell peppers – These are a surprising neccessity to a good surpreme pizza, in my opinion. I tried it without them and it wasn’t the same.
• Tomato paste – This is for the base of the sauce. I find if you use this with some added water and seasonings that it tastes way better than store bought pizza sauce.
• Seasonings: Italian seasoning, Salt, Crushed Red Pepper.
