Naturally, you can make these mini snack pizzas with any toppings you darn well please. If you do use vegan cheese, use it sparingly. It’s never that great and I’ve found the more you add, the more disappointing it gets. A little sprinkle will do the job just fine. That aside, I used a new one from Trader Joe’s and it melted surprisingly well. If you’re looking for fresh pizza dough, good old Trader Joe’s can hook you up with that too. If you don’t have a Trader Joe’s nearby and you aren’t inclined to make your own, stop in to your favorite local pizza place. They’re usually good about that sorta thing. One last tip: these pizzas are small, chop your toppings accordingly.
An alternate fake-cheese-free topping recommendation: red sauce, broccoli, roasted red peppers, vegan basil pesto.
Oh and if you’re looking for an easy vegan pesto, check out the Amore brand in the tube. I use it for everything!
