This single-serving veggie pizza is vegan, oil-free, soy-free, and low-fat. The no-yeast crust is a thin, crispy, sprouted grain tortilla. This tortilla crust makes a wonderful base for the sauce, veggies, and spices.
I've been making a version of this Veggie Pizza for One for years and decided to add it to the menu for our regular cook & chat... girls' night in! series where Sersie and I go LIVE via Zoom and Facebook to cook something up and talk about whatever.
The crust for this pizza uses Ezekiel (Food for Life) brand sprouted grain tortilla found in the freezer section of your grocery store. It's completely flourless with no yeast, added oil or added sugar. Its rich in nutrients—like iron, thiamin, niacin, zinc, selenium and manganese—and makes a great thin crust pizza.
Now, the toppings on Veggie Pizza for One are mushrooms—I use cremini, but you can use any type you want—along with baby spinach, onions, bell pepper, fresh herbs, and capers. I also like to drizzle a little aged balsamic vinegar at the end right before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! Anyone can eat pizza without cheese. This one has the option of adding cashew-based parmesan cheese if you want a little added. In fact, some report that when pizza originated in Naples, Italy, in the 1800s, but cheese wasn't added until 1889. So, having pizza without cheese is technically how it started.
It's made of ingredients that are of plant-origin. No meat or animal products. So, any vegetable, fruit, mushrooms, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes are all fair game for a vegan pizza. This vegan pizza is made with a sprouted grain crust, tomato sauce, capers, peppers, onions, mushrooms, and optional cashew based parmesan cheese.
It depends on what ingredients are used. If the ingredients are unprocessed (or minimally processed) and close to their natural state, it's probably healthy. If, however, it's made with a lot of processed vegan ingredients with low micronutrient value, it's not as healthy.
You could also top with some Easy Vegan Parm Cheese and drizzle aged balsamic vinegar or Vegan Creamy Italian Dressing.
