Veggie Pizza II
As is almost the case every time I drive now, a man on a street corner asked me for money. When I smiled and mouthed “I’m sorry I don’t have any” meaning I didn’t have any cash with me, that is usually the case even pre-pandemic. The man then gestured asking me for my old, navy blue Adidas bucket hat I was wearing. He was wearing a beige baseball cap but the temperature was 111 degrees that day. I shook my head no and drove off – I had to go to the grocery store. One reason I didn’t give him my hat was because of vanity – my hair was in 3 fuzzy, french braids with un-dyed, graying temples (I know I’m not alone) that make me look like the Black version of Lily Munster except not. I will start combing my hair when I run errands I promised myself or bring extra hats because I certainly have them. My question is can a middle aged Black woman safely go into a high-end grocery store looking disheveled? I have been disrespected in this store where I spend a lot of money while looking quite prim – “hi Beth, my complaint letter is forthcoming.” Discuss among yourselves. I like the idea of a do-over but in this instance I’m not sure I would behave differently. I did a gluten free veggie pizza do-over recipe because the first one was a bit lackluster.
Gluten Free Individual Veggie Pizzas
- Udi’s Gluten Free Pizza Crusts
- Organic Olive Oil
- Fresh Garlic

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Massage both pizza crusts with olive oil and sprinkle with ample amounts of fresh minced garlic. Slice vegetables and arrange as you would like. Top with herbs, fake meats, shredded cheese and bake for 5 to 7 minutes. Naturally you can add broccoli, mushrooms or any other vegetables you would like. Great way to get the kids involved with dinner preparation. Add a Broccoli Salad to the Veggie Pizza night and you have a nutritious meal that serves 3 people.
Like!! I blog frequently and I really thank you for your content. The article has truly peaked my interest.
This veggie pizza was a hit for our meatless Monday dinner. I did omit the black olives since we’re not huge fans, but I replaced them with Kalamata and they were fantastic.
Kalamata olives are so tasty and would be amazing with spinach and feta. The beauty of a homemade veggie pizza is that you can make it what you want.
These were extremely delicious and full of bold flavor! I wanted something light and easy and this was the perfect recipe!
Veggie pizza is always a good choice. Thanks Kaluhi!
I saw the Udi’s pizza crust in the store and was inspired to try it just so I could make this recipe. I loved the combination of ingredients here and my husband gobbled it up – not knowing that it was actually vegan and gluten free. I found that with all of the fresh veggies and garlic, I didn’t really need the cheese. Perfect for a light, summery meal!
You’re so right Jessica – cheese on this Veggie Pizza is definitely optional. So happy you and the hubby approved!
I’ve been working on eating more veggies and this recipe came right on time. Everyone was able to make their own but I followed your recipe to a T and it was so good!
Thanks Jazz! Veggie Pizzas are great for Meatless Mondays and dinner parties too.
This veggie pizza is a delicious and healthy choice for any occasion. It has a crispy and chewy crust, melted cheese and a variety of fresh vegetables. I can’t wait to make this again!
Thanks Jen, veggie pizzas are the best.
