Instead of putting up a fight today – I’m gonna join the US Congress in their recent declaration – Pizza is a Vegetable!
This statement becomes completely true, when you start off with a “flour free” whole foods crust like a sprouted grain tortilla and load a big bowl of vegetables on top.
I have a feeling this pizza will become a staple in your household, like it has mine. The freshness in taste goes beyond any frozen pizza could ever deliver. When I suggest one of these pizzas to my husband for dinner, I usually hear a big “OH YEAH!” come out of his mouth. When I make this for other family members or friends, they immediately request the recipe.
This recipe will bring upon cheers from your loved ones, friends and family! They will all LOVE it.
- 1 Ezekiel sprouted wheat tortilla
- 4 tablespoons of tomato/pizza sauce
- 1 garlic clove minced
- ¼ cup onions chopped
- ¼ cup green peppers chopped
- ¼ cup broccoli chopped
- 5 black olives sliced
- 1 ounce of organic mozzarella cheese (Optional)
- ½ ounce of raw parmesan cheese (Optional)
- crushed red pepper for sprinkling
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees
- Place thawed tortilla on large pan and place in oven – 3-4 mins to allow crust to harden a bit
- Once tortilla has started to slightly crisp on edges, remove from oven
- Place sauce and garlic on crust first
- Then top with suggested toppings or other toppings, being careful not to overload the crust
- Next place cheese on top (Optional)
- Cook for 10 mins or until cheese is bubbly
Are you vegan?….No cheese leaves more room for veggies and still creates an equally delicious and satisfying pizza.
Want to keep it light? Just use a little bit of cheese…
Or you can go all out…. and make it super cheesy!
Wouldn’t it be amazing if schools nationwide started to use this recipe?!!!!
Ahhhhh…..World Peace.
Have a great weekend!
Food Babe
Yay!!! I’ve been anxiously awaiting this recipe!! Off to EF
thank you!!
The selection of raw cheese is wonderful at EF! Good luck with the recipe – let me know how it turns out for you!
We are gluten free – could you send a crust idea? We use corn tortillas and rice tortillas but the rice ones are not very good. Thank you!
Gosh Vani that looks so good yum! I know whats for dinner tonight..
thank you for doing such a great job teaching us about healthy eating habits. I’ve learned a LOT from you.
You are welcome! I am excited to hear if you like it!
You can use (vegan) Daya Cheese?
I personally have never bought daiya cheese ever – so I don’t know from experience, but I’m almost positive it would work!
I use sliced steamed sweet potatoes instead of Daiya cheese. A friend of mine uses loads of sauted mushrooms instead of cheese. To faux cheese never melt like cheese and never tastes like cheese.
sounds great!
Exactly what I want tonight! You must have read my mind! Mmmmmmm now if someone would just make it for me, do you delivery?!!!
Haha – I wish someone would deliver this to me sometime too!
This looks great! I’ve been dying to use my brown rice tortillas to make pizzas with! My man got some Whole Foods pizza for his superbowl feast and I got a mix of sweet potatoes, veg and bean salad. Perfection!
Hey Gillian – I heard from a gluten free friend yesterday that Food for Life brown rice tortillas turn out just as crispy for the recipe! Excited for you to try it! For Super Bowl, my man cooked up some farm fresh bratwurst and sauerkraut, while I had a big helping of avocado lentil salad. I made an artichoke kale dip for both of us to share and fig bars for dessert. Did you love the half time show, or what?! I don’t care how old Madonna gets, she will always have my heart!
Thank you beauty, I will be trying this soon!! As yes, Madonna is outstanding. Dancing in heels like that at 53?? Work it!
I just stumbled across your site today and I LOVE it! It is so informative and inspirational! I just finished for dinner your veggie “pizza” along side a kale salad with your tahini dressing – which was to die for! Thanks for sharing such great info and recipes!
You are welcome Angela! I seriously love this pizza and could have it everyday! I saw your blog post about it and I’m going to post it to my Facebook page now – Thanks for being a huge supporter! <3
Any reason in particular for the goat’s milk mozzarella? We get goat’s milk cheese from our farmer in our CSA but it’s usually more like a cream cheese, never mozzarella.
We are starting to send my toddler’s food into daycare with him (daycare provides the food, but as you can probably easily imagine, it’s not up to our ever-increasing whole foods/organic/local/preservative and dye free standards). In an effort to not make my little guy feel left out of the provided family-style meals, I’ll be mimicking the daycare chef’s menu. They have pizza a few times per month and I will be trying this recipe out in his lunchbox soon! Thanks for sharing!
I don’t really like pizza made on tortilla thin bread. But I’ve been eyeballing the pizza crust made w/cauliflower? Have you tried that one yet? I hope to soon. (Sorry if you’ve already addressed this.)
Yes – Recipe coming soon!
so excited I just found your blog from 100 Days of Real Food website.. you have a lot of really good recipes I am excited to try. I am new to this real food thing.. I only started reading about it a few days ago so it will take time to adjust my diet completely.. Thanks for the wonderful recipes and insight you share with everyone.
I tried this last night and it was delicious! I made some for my 3 year old without veggies and he ate it up and asked for more! Since he’s not one who snacks on raw veggies, I made him apple, carrot and cilantro juice to go with it. This will definitely be a staple for our family. Thank you very, very much for everything on your blog. I have been wanting to cut out processed foods and didn’t know about Ezekial and raw cheese and the many yummy options for both adults and kids!
How about sliced fresh plum tomatoes, and some EVOO and seasonings (oregano, basil, pepper) in lieu of the pizza sauce? Also, I haven’t tried it, but I hear Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Pizza crust mix is fantastic, and a great option for those who are gluten free.
Thank you so much for sharing your recipes!! Had this tonight and served it without the veggies to my boys who are 6,8 and 10 and they all LOVED it!! I served it with carrots and cucumbers for them and they cleared their plates. I had mine with red and green peppers, mushrooms, and diced chicken that I had made the day before. YUMMY!!! Can’t wait to try some of your other recipes! That is one of my goals this year….try a new Food Babe recipe each week!
Oh My!! Made this last night for dinner!!! It was amazing – Thank you!!!
You are welcome… just made another one for my husband just now. So funny
Thank you so much for this recipe! so easy and delicious. Yes, it’s going to be a staple:) I usually used organic whole wheat tortillas but want to try this sprouted kind.
I absolutely <3 the idea of a tortilla shell as pizza crust!
I am eating this as I am typing lol… It is sooooooooooooooooo delicious! I even have my hubby convienced . I used Edens Organic Pizza sauce and we Love it! If I can get it past my 7 year old and 10 year old than I know for sure its a new family favourite. Thanks for sharing
There is a Gluten Free pizza crust i just discovered at a restaurant called “New Grains” and its made in Utah but you can purcchase it at Amazon either as a mix or pre-made crusts…Let me tell you, I ate the whole pizza. It was soooooo good. I have not had good tasting GF pizza crust in years…
Thanks for the tip! I will pass on to my GF friends.
I just made these for me and my family, THEY WERE DELICIOUS!!! My husband and kids LOVED THEM!! Thank you for sharing.
My three girls 7, 5, and 4 LOVED this recipe!!!!! They said it was awesome! Of course they wanted just plain raw cheese
I packed mine with cherry tomatoes, orange peppers, broccoli, and onion. I skipped out on the cheese. Thanks for the awesome idea 
xoxo
Since finding this recipe only a couple of weeks ago I’ve probably made it 8 times. IT IS SOOO GOOD!! I am so obsessed with it, I’ve made it multiple nights in a row! Thank you so much for what you do and all of your recipes!
Goat milk is often consumed by young children, the elderly, those who are ill, or have a low tolerance to cow’s milk. Goat milk is more similar to human milk than that of the cow, although there is large variation among breeds in both animals. Although the West has popularized the cow, goat milk and goat cheese are preferred dairy products in much of the rest of the world. Because goat cheese is often made in areas where refrigeration is limited, aged goat cheeses are often heavily treated with salt to prevent decay. As a result, salt has become associated with the flavor of goat cheese.`
Best wishes

I’d start with a non wheat crust but I love your veggie combination, I need to make my next pizza a broccoli party!
I live in deep South Texas and have trouble finding a lot of the things you use, like the sprouted tortillas. But I do not know what raw cheese is???? Help
Raw cheese is unpasteurized. You can read more about the benefits of raw dairy in this post.

Lentils are also commonly used in Ethiopia in a stew-like dish called kik, or kik wot, one of the dishes people eat with Ethiopia’s national food, injera flat bread. Yellow lentils are used to make a nonspicy stew, which is one of the first solid foods Ethiopian women feed their babies.-..’`
