I’ve been wanting to make a homemade version of my favorite Amy’s pizza for years now and I’m glad to say that I’ve finally done it! And just in time for pizza Friday!
This has every bit of flavor and taste that Amy’s does and comes together in just about 30 minutes (a little longer if you decide to make your own pizza dough!).
Simple and delicious, you can really do whatever you want to make it your own – if you’re the type of person that needs cheese on their pizza, go ahead and toss some on. Mix up the veggies adding more or less and swapping in ones you like for those you don’t.
The only thing you can’t mess with is the sweet onion sauce because in my opinion, that’s what makes the pizza.
I chose to top mine with a little freshly chopped basil and balsamic glaze. Balsamic vinegar would also work and you can use any fresh herbs that suit you!
Overall it’s little fuss for a ton of flavor and a pizza that even the biggest meat eaters will love!

Description
made an at-home version of my favorite amy’s roasted vegetable pizza. coming together in just about 30 minutes, it’s a perfect dairy-free, meatless dinner option for busy weeknights!
Ingredients
For the Sweet Onion Sauce:
- 2 large onions, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- Salt & pepper
- 2/3 cup water
For the Pizza:
- 1 lb fresh whole wheat pizza dough (store-bought works, or see below for a homemade recipe!)
- 1 jar of marinated artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
- 1 jar of roasted red peppers, roughly chopped
- 3.2 oz container of shiitake mushrooms, sliced thin
- 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Fresh herbs (such as basil), minced
- 1–2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
For the Whole Wheat Pizza Crust (for the bread machine):
- 2 cups white whole wheat flour
- 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2/3 cup warm water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
- While the oven preheats, make the sweet onion sauce. Place a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil, allowing it to heat for 1 minute, then adding onions, brown sugar and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook on medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes, (stirring occasionally for even caramelization), then add water to the pan to deglaze, cooking another 10-12 minutes or until all the water has evaporated. Remove mixture from the pan and transfer to a food processor, processing until mostly smooth.
- In the same pan you cooked the onions, add a teaspoon or two more of olive oil and sauté the garlic over medium-low heat until just fragrant (30 seconds – 1 minute) then add the mushrooms, sautéing until just tender (~2-3 minutes).
- Roll out the pizza dough to desired thickness then add to a lightly greased pizza pan (a baking sheet also works, it doesn’t have to be round!).
- Top pizza dough with sweet onion sauce followed by mushrooms, roughly chopped roasted red peppers, and roughly chopped artichoke hearts (note that you may not use all the vegetables – add as much or as little as you prefer).
- Bake for ~20 minutes or until crust is golden brown
- Remove from the oven, drizzle with balsamic glaze and a sprinkle of fresh herbs and serve!
Whole Wheat Pizza Crust (for the bread machine):
- Add ingredients in order listed and place bread machine on “pizza dough” cycle. Remove, roll out and top

Wonderful! Thanks so much I fell in love with this pizza from the store but not their price! Thanks for saving our family $. How can I go about freezing these pizzas for later? Thanks!

Hi there! You can store leftover slices in a freezer safe bag or container and then simply pull out the pieces you want to eat and defrost 🙂
It’s a winner!! I nailed it on my second try after properly caramelizing the onions for the onion sauce. This recipe is as advertised, it captures the taste and essence of that Amy’s No Cheese Roasted Vegetable Pizza which is my fave as well (and I’m neither vegan nor vegetarian)! Well done, Cait!
Yay! I’m so so glad you feel that way! It’s one of my favorites for sure! Thank you for letting me know how it worked out for you!
It is not a vegan recipe so that is a little misleading but it looks good and healthy.

Yes, you’re right given that I use honey in the crust, thanks for letting me know! I’ll work to create a vegan crust recipe, in the meantime you can swap out my crust for your favorite vegan one! 🙂
This recipe is a home run!! So fun and easy to make and SO YUMMY!!! It tasted exactly like Amy’s pizza and probably even a little better because we could load up the pizza with more veggies than Amy’s pizza does! Thank you so much for posting his recipe! 🙂

Oh wonderful! I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it! It’s one of my favorites as well 🤗 Thank you for the feedback and the review!!
I just made this, only difference is I used a dash of scallion on top and put my balsamic in with the onions, turned out great. Thanks!!!
Oh wonderful – so happy to hear it! Love the scallion idea – I’m going to try that. Thanks for sharing 🙂
This pizza is delicious. I prefer it to fake cheese pizzas, and make this or something very similar weekly having always used this recipe as a starting point. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Oh yay! That makes me so happy to hear! So glad it’s been a useful recipe for you and thanks so much for the review 🙂
I use a different pizza crust where I add baking powder, salt, and plain nonfat greek yogurt to organic flour. (3/4 c. flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 3/4 cup greek yogurt). I grease my cast iron skillet first with olive oil. Spread the dough with my greased hands onto the 3 quart skillet & bake at 375 deg. for 6-7 min. Once that is complete, I added the onion sauce as directed and topped with any vegetables. One of my favorite frozen pizzas is Amy’s Roasted Vegetable pizza. This is really good if not better because of the added protein in the crust and extra vegetables! Thanks for sharing this recipe. YUM!!!!
