🥘 Ingredients

- Pizza Dough: Use your favorite pizza dough. You can grab a premade pizza dough from the store, or try making dough from scratch. I have a low calorie pizza dough or a poolish pizza dough that would both be delicious.

- Vegetables: Button mushrooms, green bell pepper, red onion, roma tomatoes, and kalamata olives are the best veggies to use for a classic supreme pizza recipe!

- Basil: Fresh basil adds the best Italian flavor, complementing all of the vegetables perfectly.
🍲 Ingredient Substitutions
- Vegetables: Pizza with veggies is all about personal preference. Alternative vegetable options include red bell pepper, sweet onion, heirloom tomatoes, black olives, artichokes, and zucchini.
- Cheese: Don’t have fresh mozzarella? Use grated low-moisture mozzarella cheese, a shredded Italian cheese blend, grated pizza cheese, or vegan cheese.
- Herbs: Play around with the flavor profile of this recipe by using fresh parsley or oregano instead of basil leaves.
🔪 How To Make Veggie Supreme Pizza
Here is how to make this veggie supreme pizza:
Preheat & Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (or, depending on which type of pizza dough you’re using, follow the directions for the dough – could be anywhere from 350-450 degrees F). Line a round baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper. Alternatively, use a pizza stone.
Roll Dough & Bake: Roll pizza dough on a clean countertop or large cutting board. Place on the prepared baking tray. Bake for 5-8 minutes.
Add Sauce: Spread a layer of tomato sauce over the cooked pizza base.
Add Toppings: Top with sliced mushrooms, green peppers, red onion, tomatoes and olives. Place the sliced fresh mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza along with some fresh basil leaves.
Cook: Cook the pizza in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the toppings have cooked and the base is crunchy. Alternatively, bake in a pizza oven for a bolder flavor.
Slice & Serve: Remove pizza from the heat, top with more fresh basil leaves, let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes, slice into 8 equal portions and serve.
💭 Expert Tips
- Crust Thickness: Pizza crust can be rolled thin to create a thin and crispy base or rolled a little thicker to have a softer, fluffier base. For a veggie supreme pan pizza, bake in a cast iron skillet or cake pan.
- Crispy Crust: Pre-cooking the pizza base helps to create the best crust for your veggie supreme pizza. Alternatively, you can just top the pizza and cook it altogether in the oven – you’ll just have to bake it for about 15 minutes total, and your crust may not be as crispy.
- Be Mindful of Toppings: Do not overload the pizza with toppings as this will leave excess moisture in the dough, resulting in a soggy pizza.
- For Seasoned Veggies: Add all veggie toppings to a large bowl and mix with olive oil and seasoning for extra flavor in this supreme pizza recipe.
- Even Cooking: Slice the raw vegetables thinly to ensure even cooking.
- Various Cooking Methods: You can choose your preferred method for cooking your pizza, whether that be in the regular oven or a pizza oven like an Ooni. Be sure to have a pizza peel if cooking in a pizza oven.
📖 Variations
- Pesto Supreme Pizza: Trade in the marinara sauce for a delicious and fresh pesto on this pizza! Try out my easy pesto without pine nuts for a tasty vegan option.
- Spicy Veggie Supreme Pizza: To spice it up a little add a sprinkle of dried red pepper flakes, chopped calabrian peppers, or other spicy red peppers.
- Flavored Crust: Brush the crush of this vegetarian pizza with olive oil and sprinkle on spices like salt and black pepper, garlic powder, oregano, or Italian seasoning blend.
🍽 Serving Suggestions
This vegetarian supreme pizza is perfect on its own but you might prefer to serve it with other dishes for a heartier meal. Try it out with a fresh salad like this keto Greek salad or make it cozier with a bowl of vegan minestrone soup on the side. If you want a filling Italian dinner, pair the pizza with a vegan pasta primavera or tofu pasta.
🙌 Dietary Adaptations
This meatless supreme pizza is vegetarian and soy free! If you have certain dietary needs, check out some of the suggestions below:
- Low Calorie Option: Use my favorite low calorie pizza dough to create a delicious and healthy pizza base!
- Vegan Option: Swap the mozzarella for a plant-based option to make this a vegan supreme pizza. My favorite brands are Violife, Miyoko’s, Daiya, or Follow Your Heart.
- Gluten Free Option: Use a gluten free crust in place of the pizza dough. All the supreme pizza ingredients are naturally gluten free. Banza makes a tasty pre-made chickpea crust.
- Keto Option: Use my keto marinara and a keto-friendly pizza dough to keep this recipe low carb.
🫙 Storage Directions
Here is how to store and keep this supreme veggie pizza:
To Store In The Fridge: Allow leftover pizza to cool to room temperature, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Additionally, the pizza dough base can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge, covered in plastic wrap, for up to 2 days before rolling and cooking. You can also roll and cook the base and keep it covered and stored in the fridge for up to 4 days before topping and cooking.
To Freeze: You can freeze the pizza topped with ingredients and ready to go next time you want pizza. Keep covered and frozen, stored in the freezer for up to 1 month.
To Reheat: Place frozen pizza on a baking sheet and heat in the oven at 350 F. Cook the pizza for 10-15 minutes or until the pizza toppings have cooked and the base is golden brown. If you are simply reheating leftover pizza that has been fully cooked already, heat in the toaster oven (or the microwave, but your pizza will become soft vs. crispy once warm).

I love preparing the pizza from the base with my kids and this looks super yummy with the topping you did.
So happy to hear that Pooja!
I used to not be the biggest pizza fan until I started making it at home. Fresh ingredients always taste better and don’t upset the digestion.
I totally agree!
this looks so good, definitely fits my diet!
I’m so happy to hear that Karen! I’m sure you will love this recipe!
I love pizza and trying new recipes. Usually, vegetarians and vegans are not always thought of when recipes are created, so I appreciate that this is veggie friendly! Thank you for sharing this. I’m going to try it for sure.
Of course! Almost all of my recipes can be made vegan, and they’re all vegetarian, so you definitely won’t run into that problem here!
This pizza looks so super yummy that I want to eat the screen now! Great recipe!
Haha awesome! You will love this recipe if you make it at home!
This looks so healthy and good! My family would love this!
This is definitely a family favorite at our house too!
This is my kind of pizza. I would change out the cheese for vegan cheese so I could enjoy it with my dairy allergy.
Thanks Tara! And that would be a great substitute to make this vegan friendly! 🙂
This is perfect. I love pizza, I love trader joes, and i love fitting into my jeans. I think I’m gonna be trying this veggie pizza recipe quite soon.
Hooray!! I love all of those things too! 🙂 I’m sure you’ll love this recipe!
I used to make homemade pizza all the time! I may have to again this week. 🙂
Awesome!! I’m sure you will love this recipe Marie!
We love pizza and I’m always looking for ways to make our dinners a little healthier! This is a great option and it looks delicious!
Yay thank you so much Emily! 🙂
Pizza is a great dinner go-to for us and I can’t wait to try this recipe! I also love the premade whole wheat pizza dough from Trader Joe’s!
Totally!! That’s how I feel about TJs too! 🙂
I can’t believe I have never tried spinach on a pizza! I can’t wait to try this recipe. Thank you!
It’s such an easy way to sneak in some extra greens, and it tastes great too! Hope you love it once you try it!
This looks delicious!! Most pizzas you find have a thin crust, but this looks awesome! Cannot wait to try it!
Yay thank you so much!! I think this pizza has the perfect crust consistency – not too thick and not too thin!
Love your website and your recipes! I was wondering if you have ever made tofu ricotta… I mix firm tofu with lemon juice, basil, salt, and olive oil and it is delicious! I use this on pizza instead of cheese and layer it in crockpot lasagna, use it in manicotti ect. and my hubby (who hates to eat healthy) loves it also.
Thank you so much Krystal!! And actually no – I’ve never made tofu ricotta but it sounds delicious!! I will definitely have to try that next time – thanks for the tip! 🙂
I always make my pizza sauce at home, with tomato, garlic, salt, oregano and olive oil. so I’m sure that it is healthy. and my husband makes pizza dough himself. so we always eat pizza at home not out.
Oh that’s great! That’s the way to do it for sure 🙂
Looks really delicious! Can’t wait to try!
