FAQs

What is a veg cheese pizza?

A veg cheese pizza is essentially composed of a base for the pizza, which can be made from flour, water, yeast, and salt; a tomato-based pizza sauce, cheese, often mozzarella, but may be supplemented with cheddar or parmesan for enhanced flavour; and vegetable toppings. These include bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, black olives, and even sweet corn, among other fresh vegetables.

Can I customise my favourite veg cheese pizza with my favourite vegetables?

Yes, One of the great strengths of a veg cheese pizza is its versatility. The most old-fashioned favourites are bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, and olives, but you can have any combination you can imagine. Flavours and textures can be achieved with spinach, zucchini, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, or even artichokes. For those who enjoy spicy dishes, add hot peppers or some red chilli flakes on top. Try different vegetables and seasonings to create a pizza exactly how you like it.

Is veg cheese pizza a healthy food choice?

Veg cheese pizza can be a healthy choice, especially if it is loaded with various vegetables. The pizza will include many necessary vitamins, minerals, and fibre. Serving it on whole-wheat or gluten-free crusts further gives the pizza healthy attributes. However, pizza can also be a source of extra calories with the cheese and the crust, thus calling for moderation.
