Spinach & Artichoke Flatbread Pizza (Vegan Cheese Review)
Lately, I’ve been craving pizza like crazy! However, for those of us who are diary (or lactose) intolerant, satisfying a pizza craving isn’t as simple as grabbing a slice from the nearest pizza spot or supermarket. Most places don’t carry non-diary “cheese” and you can make two homemade pizzas for the price of one frozen diary-free pizza from the grocery store.
Well I’m embarking on a journey of finding the best vegan cheeses to replace cheese in the meals I enjoy. This week I used Daiya’s Mozzarella Style Shreds shown below:
to make flatbread pizza. While it didn’t melt as well as I would have liked, it definitely had a salty cheesy taste that’s pretty close to mozzarella. Overall, I loved the pizza. I just wish the cheese had completely melted. If you’re diary intolerant like me, and searching for vegan options. Then try this flatbread pizza recipe!

Remove tomatoes from oven. Preheat over to 425 F
