One of the reasons pizza is such a popular dining option is because it’s delicious and versatile. With so many different toppings available, everyone can craft a gourmet delight that satisfies their unique tastes, including people on vegetarian diets. Giving up meat doesn’t require giving up this delicious treat when you order one of these delectable creations.  

Pizza-Perfect Pies for Vegetarians

1. Make It Spicy

For anyone looking for a little kick from their pizza, fan-top it with a variety of peppers. Banana peppers, green bell peppers, and jalapenos all pair well with melted cheese and a tomato base. Throw on some olives to balance the heat with a little touch of briny nuttiness.

2. Go Alfredo Style

Ditch the tomato base and lay down an Alfredo sauce for a pizza that tastes like the classic Italian buttery and cheesy pasta dish. Add onions, green peppers, and fresh tomatoes for color and texture, and top it all with mozzarella.

3. Try Ranch

Many people enjoy dipping  slices of pie into ranch dressing, but pizza is also great when the dressing is incorporated into the sauce. The combination of sour cream, mayonnaise, and spices creates a uniquely rich and creamy base layer. Top it with salad-centric vegetables like mushrooms, peppers, and tomatoes for a delicious vegetarian meal.

4. Go For Extra Sauce

Another popular option for vegetarians is to double-up on classic tomato sauce. Pizzas topped with extra sauce, green bell peppers, and onions are delicious and filling. For the cheese, lean into a mixture of creamy mozzarella and grated smoked gouda.
