Do vegetarians eat pizza?

Question

Pizza MUST have cheese. Is there a "good" substitute for cheese. I am having a pizza party. Two vegans are coming, and I am getting this bad headache because I don't know if they will eat my pizza. The topings for their pizza would be only vegetables.

Answer 1

jewel has non-dairy cheese.

Answer 2

Yes, vegetarians eat pizza. Some vegetarians try to stay away from cheese made with animal rennet, but since it can be hard to find, some do not get that strict. I believe most of the cheeses Papa John's uses are made with vegetable rennet. I'm pretty sure it says on their website. Gluten and MSG have nothing to do with vegetarianism, btw. You can get any pizza you want without meat, and it's okay for a vegetarian.

Answer 3

actually, the first pizzas were made without cheese and resembled focaccia, which is a bread topped with certain veggies and rarely cheese. when i used to work at papa john's (baaack in my hs days), i thought people who ordered pizza without cheese were nuts! all pizzas just HAD to have cheese, but surprisingly, it does really well without. it's just as good, and i'm sure your vegan friends wouldn't mind eating a cheeseless pizza.

trader joe's started carrying a cheeseless pizza for about $4 each, which is about 35-40% cheaper than the cheeseless kinds at health food stores. whole foods carries a brand called amy's, but it costs about $7.

if you must use a cheese sub, you can try vegan gourmet. don't shred the cheese onto the pizza, though... make sure you melt it in a pot first, and then pour it on the pizza after it's done baking.

happy eating! :)

Answer 4

Pizza dough can be made without eggs or dairy, but you would have to make it yourself or buy a vegan pizza. You can buy soy cheese, even in grated varieties. It's a little more oily, but it tastes the same.

Virtually anything can be replaced with a vegan diet, and be just as delicious. I cooked vegan chili yesterday, and I would actually say it's better than my mom's recipe which includes ground beef. It tastes sooooo good, and it's also very healthy.

2 green bell peppers, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 cans of kidney beans
1 can of tomato sauce
1 packet of chilli seasoning (very spicy, so less if needed)

Cook peppers and onion for 5 minutes on high, then add the rest and cook on low for 30 minutes.

Answer 5

I'm vegan and I don't really like the vegan cheeses so if I were to eat a veggie pizza I would just eat it with lots of veggies and no cheese.

Answer 6

Vegans normally do not eat cheese. They are actually stricter than vegetarians. Try a parade of salads. Don't forget the fruit.

I am a lacto vegetarian. I would love your Pizza with all the veggies. Bring it on.

Answer 7

Well, I like me a good cheeseless pizza, but if you feel it must have cheese, find a vegan cheese, such as Follow Your Heart. Watch out for soy cheeses, as many have casein (a dairy protein), especially the shreds.

Answer 8

If their vegan they can't eat the cheese or dough for the pizza. If they're vegetarian, then they can.

Answer 9

Yes, There is DEFINATELY Vegan Cheeses!

If you're making your pizzas from scratch,
Just head on down to your local Grocery store
Or Whole Foods, And ask if they have Vegan Cheese/ Vegan 'Mozzarella'.

My store carries it. I'm not sure what brand though. [:
And, its pretty cheap!

Certain quantities range from $3-5

So yeah. It's perfect. ;>

Answer 10

If you are making your own pizza, use the following recipe:



The Best Vegan Pizza Ever

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

12 oz firm tofu (water pack kind)
one 8 oz can tomato paste
3-5 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
cayenne pepper
black pepper
one large loaf crusty bread (unsliced)
veggies (I like roma tomatoes, mushrooms and artichoke hearts)
olive oil or non-stick cooking spray

Directions:

My cheese-loving boyfriend begs me to make this vegan pizza every night!

*Preheat oven to 375

*In food processor, mix first seven ingredients until smooth. (The amount of garlic, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, pepper etc is very flexible. Use as much or as little as you like)

*Slice vegan bread the long way. Spread each piece with half of the tomatoey tofu mixture.

*Cover each piece with chopped vegetables. Press them into the tofu spread so that they do not fall off easily.

*Spray the vegetables with olive oil cooking spray so that they roast well. (If you prefer, you can toss the veggies with regular olive oil prior to putting them on the vegan bread)

*Bake on a high rack in the oven for 15-20 min or until veggies are starting to roast and tofu spread is heated through.

*Slice, serve and enjoy!

Serves: 4

Preparation time: 30-45 min


This is a very good recipe.

Answer 11

If they don't eat your pizza that's their problem. Pretty brave to invite vegans to a social gathering. They usually don't "play well with others".
Yeah, let them eat the crap veggie pizza w/o cheese. Just enjoy yourself. Maybe they will go home early if you are lucky.
