Let's dive into homemade pizza!
It would be fantastic to dive into a pie of pizza right now. I miss the days of being able to call a pizzeria and order a pie whenever I wanted one, but life with multiple food allergies does not make these tasks that easy, especially when those allergies include gluten, dairy, and tomatoes.
The plus side is we have experimented and made so many pizza combinations at our house, that we now have a list worthy of a blog post! So here we go...

As promised, below is a round-up of some of our favorite pizza creations we have made!
Classic Pizza Pie
Our classic pizza uses our tomatoless marinara sauce and homemade cashew cheese (recipe below), sprinkled with dried Italian seasoning.
Cashew Cheese
Ingredients
⅓ cup cashews
1 to 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 garlic clove
1 cup water
sea salt, for taste
2 tablespoons arrowroot starch (or starch of your choosing)
Directions
Put all the ingredients except for the starch in a blender or food processor. Pulse repeatedly to break the cashews down, until they form a coarse, wet meal. Scrape the sides of the blender or food processor down with a rubber spatula.
Transfer to a small sauce pot over medium heat. Add in the starch and stir until the mixture thickens.
Pesto and Prosciutto Pizza Pie using Simple Mills Pizza Crust Mix
This is one of my go-to styles as most of the ingredients can be store-bought. I like to use the Simple Mills pizza crust because it creates a crunchier cracker-like crust, that I think pairs well with these softer toppings.
Details:
Sauce: Pesto
Toppings: Homemade Cashew Ricotta or store-bought Cashew Ricotta, Prosciutto, basil leaves, and Italian seasoning
Roasted Butternut Squash Pizza Pie
I love making this roasted butternut squash pizza, especially during the end of the summer into autumn. With just a light white sauce topped with a copious amount of roasted butternut squash and onions is all you need. Trust me!
Details:
Sauce: Dairy-Free Alfredo Sauce or white sauce of choice
Toppings: Diced butternut squash and sliced red onions that were roasted in the oven before being added to the pizza. Finished off with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast.
Pizza Bagels
A childhood classic now made gluten-free and more! May not be bite-sized like the store-bought ones, but, HEY, we are growing adults who can use a normal-sized pizza bagel-style meal.
Details:
Bagels: We use bagels by The Greater Knead. (Remember to use our code AMACGREGOR10 to get 10% off your entire order!) The following flavors would be perfect as pizza bagels:
Tomato Basil (only use if you are not nightshade-free)
Sauce: tomatoless marinara sauce
Toppings: go wild here! This option is supposed to be fun! Create your ideal pizza bagel or have fun with it during the holidays to create characters, such as our mummy pizza bagels above.

Prosciutto Pizza Pie
Similar to our Pesto and Prosciutto Pizza above, we omit the cheese for this one and add more greens and drizzle with a balsamic glaze.
Details:
Sauce: Pesto or sauce of your choosing
Toppings: Sauteed spinach and onions, roasted garlic, Applegate prosciutto, and drizzle with balsamic glaze. I also occasionally add PEARLS Olives
