Any love for vegetarian pizzas?

+1 to vegan pizza not counting as pizza and should have its own name.

Pizza is pizza to me, the only thing I wouldn't put on a pizza is any sort of fish or pineapple, everything else is fair game.

Vegetarian set menu type pizzas are always terrible. They usually have some combination of sweet corn, pineapple, spinach or goat's cheese. It's as if the chef thinks "it's not meat so stick it on the veggie pizza." I usually build my own from a magherita base with onion, jalapeno, chilies, mushroom and a garlic drizzle.

Done properly, a spinach, goat's cheese and caramelised onion pizza is fcking incredible. Milano's do one and it's amazing.

But I agree that just throwing a salad onto a pizza doesn't make it a good veggie pizza.

Anyway, if anyone is eating veggie pizza and calling themselves "healthier", you're fooling yourself. All of the calories and fat are in the base and the cheese. Meat pizzas usually contain very little actual meat, less than a steak or a burger.

The food technologist are making great strides with the cheese from nut 'milks' so why not, is that the sticky bit with a vegan pizza. Quorn salami and chorizo that are as good as the real thing are nearly there.

My missus is a veggie and I'm a hoor for Chorizo. The Quorn thing is an abomination and nowhere near the real deal. It's only an acceptable substitute if you haven't eaten meat in 20 years and you're excited that there is something slightly less boring than standard Quorn sausages.

You can get vegan pizza now from my local takeaway. The only difference is they use vegan cheese. Has a nuttier taste but otherwise no difference.

Never eat frozen pizza. Vile.

Either eat home made, they are very easy to make. or genuine Italian style ones with thin base in a restaurante.

Vegetarian is fine but I do like meat . Especially a nice fresh Pizza Diavola.

Chicken should not be anywhere near a pizza.

I used to always be a meat feast girl, pepperoni, ham, double it! In the last few years though I've really started to love spinach and goats' cheese pizza with caramelised onions. I don't know if vegetarian pizzas are any healthier to be honest though, I find they can be quite greasy, if I get one from a take away it's sometimes greasier than a pepperoni pizza!
