Do you need cheese on pizza?

If you've never tried a pizza without cheese, give it a go. With enough sauce and toppings it's hardly noticeable. But if you really want cheese, any store-bought dairy free cheese will do or make your own! Here's a vegan ricotta or vegan mozzarella that would go great on it!

Depending on the flavor profile you're going for, cheese might not even be appropriate. We made some pita pizzas with hummus for a more Mediterranean style pizza that wouldn't work well with traditional cheese pizzas.

How to make Pita Pizzas

The process is so easy this may be the easiest homemade pizza ever!

First, preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).

Place your pitas on a lined baking sheet or pizza pan. Top with sauce and desired toppings.

Bake in the oven for 10 minutes until pita bread becomes golden and crispy.

That's it!
