This is the best vegan white pizza recipe—creamy, cheesy, and loaded with fresh toppings for a delicious plant-based twist on a classic favorite.

Ingredients

For the Cashew Cream Sauce:

1 cup raw cashews (soaked in hot water 20 minutes, drained)

¾ cup unsweetened plant-based milk (almond, oat, or soy)

2 cloves garlic

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon olive oil

½ teaspoon salt

For the Pizza:

1 prepared pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)

1 small onion, thinly sliced

1 cup mushrooms, sliced

1 cup spinach leaves

½ cup vegan mozzarella shreds

Red pepper flakes, optional

Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.

Prepare cashew cream sauce: Blend soaked cashews, plant milk, garlic, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface to desired thickness. Transfer to a pizza pan or hot stone.

Brush dough lightly with olive oil. Spread a generous layer of cashew cream sauce over the base.

Top with onions, mushrooms, spinach, and vegan mozzarella.

Bake for 10–12 minutes, until crust is golden and cheese is melty.

Remove from oven, sprinkle with red pepper flakes, and garnish with fresh basil. Slice and serve.

Notes

Soaking cashews ensures a smoother, creamier sauce—don’t skip it!

Add toppings like artichokes, roasted garlic, or sun-dried tomatoes for variety.

For extra cheesiness, add dollops of vegan ricotta or cream cheese before baking.

Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat in the oven for best results.
