Instructions

This vegan & gluten-free cheeseburger pizza is so simple to make! You can even prep ahead by making the sauce in advance—just whisk everything together in a bowl, and it’ll keep in the fridge for up to five days. That way, it’s ready to go when you are!

Step 1: Preheat & Cook the vegan meat alternative

Start by preheating your oven according to the instructions on your gluten-free pizza crust package.

While the oven is heating up, cook your plant-based meat crumbles in a pan over medium heat until they’re browned and heated through.

Step 2: Assemble Your Pizza

Grab your pizza crust and spread a generous layer of the zesty “Big Mac” sauce all over the base.

Sprinkle on the cooked vegan meat crumbles evenly across the pizza.

Add a layer of vegan cheddar shreds—the more, the cheesier!

Step 3: Bake Until Golden & Melty

Pop your pizza into the oven and bake for about 10 minutes (or follow the crust’s baking instructions) until the edges are golden and the cheese is nice and melty.

Step 4: Add Fresh Toppings & Serve

Once your pizza is out of the oven, it’s time for the fresh, crisp toppings! Sprinkle on shredded lettuce, diced red onions, pickles, and diced Roma tomatoes for that authentic cheeseburger experience.

Slice it up, serve, and enjoy every bite of this fun, flavor-packed pizza!
