As a vegetarian, pizza was one of our favorite take-outs, in fact I’d say that pizza was easily Nick’s favorite food before we started trying to be vegan. We’d go a week vegan, have a pizza, then start over again, another couple of weeks, another pizza, until we finally went out to Pizza Hut to have our “final pizza”. Since then, we’ve been making our own at home, experimenting with making cheese sauces out of Nutritional Yeast and Soy Cheese. Nothing bet that damn tasty Dominos base. A little bit of googling revealed the dough ingredients:
- - Wheatflour, water, salt, sugar, vegetable oil, yeast, ascorbic acid, cornmeal
I had been toying with the idea of ringing and asking for a pizza without the cheese, wondering is it even possible, would they laugh, will I need to give a huge explanation, maybe even lie and say that I was lactose intolerant? Mostly, I was put off ringing out of the fear of getting laughed at. About a month ago I bit the bullet one night when the presses were sparce and I was too hungry to be creative. The phone call was a complete success, no laughter, on questions, no problem! And the pizza, well.. great! Something felt missing, as was natural, but they seemed to compensate for the lack of cheese with double of all the veggies that we ordered!Yum. And the sweet bar-b que sauce meant it was super flavorsome. And yes, the bar-b que sauce is also vegan. Barbecue Sauce Ingredients:
- - High fructose corn syrup, tomato paste, distilled vinegar, molasses, brown sugar, salt, modified food starch, spices, mustard bran, natural flavour, onion and garlic powder, colour, lemon juice, preservative (E211)–M

YES! You can… my brother used to order without cheese all the time. One of my kids orders no sauce. They should be fairly used to it!
I’m an idiot. Duh. You did.
Hello!
I’ve been vegan for about 6 months. I recently started ordering pizza with tons of veggies, extra sauce and no cheese of course. I’ve had no problems expect my fiancé thinks it’s a waste if a pizza doesn’t have sausage and pepperoni
@Debz It’s great to hear that there are other people out there doing it!
@Annette That’s great, you know you could order a half and half pizza with some meat on his side, but you may have to pick some pepperoni off your side as they tend to toss it on real quick.
