Answer 2

I guess use the same recipes just minus any meat, fish or eggs. Look for cheeses that do not have animal rennet if you don't mind dairy products.

There are a lot of vegetarian meat alternatives if you have the money and access. There is vegetarian pepperoni, cheeses, etc.

I have found black olives goes well with cheese. So if you are interested look for pitted black olives. Cook the black olive along with the cheeses on top of the pizza. Use whole wheat or at least unbleached flour if possible.

I have found there is a special seasoning that is unique to pizza. If you can find it then you should have a really good tasting pizza.

French Bread Pizza

Ingredients

red pepper finely chopped
green pepper finely chopped
yellow pepper finely chopped
onion finely chopped
mushrooms thiny sliced
sun-dried tomato paste
pizza sauce
vegetable oil
french baton

Slice a French Baton in half and slice each half through long ways.

Preheat an oven to 200 degrees.

Fry the onion on some oil until soft. Then make up the pizza. Firstly spread it with sun-dried tomato paste. Then add a layer of pizza sauce (I often use pasta sauce instead).

Sprinkle some onion on top. Then spread over some mushrooms. Sprinkle over some peppers.

Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.

Answer 4

My wife is vegan, so I know all about this. There is a brand called Tofutti. It makes everything DAIRY AND MEAT FREE.

One of their products is a frozen pizza with a very good melty vegan cheese. My wife usually tops it with sun-dried tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms, and sliced tomatoes. For a more meaty taste she sometimes slices smoked tofu very thin and pan-grills it for a few minutes before she adds it to the pizza.

If you didn't know any better you could swear you are eating a supreme pizza with ham instead of pepperoni. Sometimes it comes out better than my store-bought frozen pizza.

Answer 5

Planet Hollywood Chicken Caesar Salad Pizza

2 chicken breasts
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 small onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
refrigerated pizza dough
1/2 head Romaine lettuce, shredded
2 tomatoes, diced
prepared Caesar salad dressing
croutons (optional)

Cook chicken and chop into 1-inch pieces.

Over medium heat, combine garlic, onion and red bell pepper with 2 tablespoons Caesar salad dressing and cook until vegetables are tender; add chicken pieces and continue cooking for another minute.

Roll out pizza dough to cover pizza stone and create a ridge around the edge. Brush pizza dough lightly with salad dressing. Spread chicken and vegetables on dough. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden.

While pizza is baking, chop lettuce and tomato and toss with salad dressing to taste. When pizza comes out of oven, place salad on top of pizza and garnish with croutons if desired.

Answer 6

Exactly the same as a regular pizza, except without the pepperoni. Did you know you can buy cheese made from soy, for vegetarians? It doesn't melt quite the same as cheddar, but it does melt and works well on top of a pizza.

Answer 8

Make your favorite pizza dough. Spread some pasta sauce on it (Ragu or Prego ok), lay slices of Provolone cheese on top. Cover the cheese with topings: sliced canned mushrooms, sliced tomatoes, bell pepper, olives, red onion, marinated artichokes. Bake at 425F for 20 min or until cheese is bubbly.

Answer 9

I like to use Alfredo sauce on my pizza instead of tomato pizza sauce. Then I add thinly sliced onion, mushrooms, black olives, green olives, green pepper, fresh sliced tomatoes or drained diced tomatoes, spinach etc. Then top it with mozzarella, Swiss cheese and Parmesan cheese and bake till golden and bubbly.
