How to make a Veggie Supreme Pizza
Make your dough: Prepare your favorite pizza dough. Form it into a 10 or 12 inch circle.
Top and bake: Spread on the pizza sauce, and layer on your desired toppings and cheese. Bake until the edges of the crust are golden brown and the cheese is melted. Add on any final toppings, like fresh herbs, and enjoy!
Leftovers?
Store leftovers in the fridge for 2-5 days. Reheat on a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes or until warmed through. You can also reheat in the microwave.

Vegetarian vs Vegan Supreme Pizza
This veggie supreme pizza can be made vegan or vegetarian! For a vegetarian pizza, use regular cheese. This recipe is already free of meat and naturally vegetarian.
For a vegan supreme pizza, just swap the cheese for a vegan option. I like Miyoko’s brand vegan mozzarella and all Violife brand cheeses.
How to Make Restaurant Worthy Pizza at Home
Craft restaurant pizza requires a lot of fancy (and expensive!) tools: a pizza oven, pizza peel, pizza cutter, and more. BUT, creating amazing pizza at home is possible with just a few simple tips, and no special equipment!
Instead of a pizza oven or pizza stone… use a rimless sheet pan, or even a regular sheet pan. Preheat the oven with the sheet pan inside so when the dough touches the pan it immediately begins to crisp up.
Instead of a pizza peel… use parchment paper. You need a way to quickly and easily transfer your dough to the hot sheet pan. Assemble your pizza on parchment paper so when the time comes, all you have to do is pick up the parchment and place it, along with your pizza, on the hot pan. Parchment paper is oven safe, so no need to remove it.
Instead of a pizza cutter… a knife works just as well!
