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

Scale

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

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
  2. 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.
  3. 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).
  4.  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!).
  5. 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).
  6. Bake for ~20 minutes or until crust is golden brown
  7. 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

      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!

    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! 🙂

it took a while for me to get to a point where I r it took a while for me to get to a point where I realized I was chasing something that wasn't working for me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
we're constantly told that thinner is better, that being healthy takes willpower and discipline.  that ‘pain is weakness leaving the body.’⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
it took me years of being miserable as I tried to adhere to all of diet culture's rules before I got to my 'ah-ha' moment.  what I was doing was not only making me unhappy, but it was harming not only my physical health, but my mental health too.  and wasn't I supposed to be doing all of this in the NAME of health?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I wish I could go back to my younger self and tell her it wasn't worth it.  all the rigidity, missing out and being so unhappy - all in the name of doing what I thought would lead to my happiest, healthiest life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
we’re taught we can’t trust ourselves to know what’s best.  that we need to follow someone else’s plan for us in order to live a happy, healthy life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
but for whatever it’s worth to anyone out there that might need to hear this: I’m always my happiest, healthiest self when I lean into my own body and my own experiences - not someone else’s idea of what it should be.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

walk through the grocery store and you’re bound walk through the grocery store and you’re bound to find “natural” prominently featured on any number of products.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
the idea of something being “natural” has infiltrated marketing messages in everything from our toiletries & cleaning products to food & beauty items.  that companies have found this term so useful for sales is no wonder - it’s heavily promoted in our society as being “better” for us.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
yet, we’re often told by this same health and wellness culture not to trust our natural, internal signs and signals.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
we’re told to push through exhaustion even if what our bodies really need is rest, we’re told to ignore our signals of hunger and fullness in deference to a pre-set plan, we’re constantly told to fix, resize and reshape our bodies from their natural states.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
it’s worth noting that there’s little profit to be made off us trusting and honoring our body’s innate signals and states.  if we could simply trust our own bodies, we would have no need to buy solutions to “fix” our wellness “problems.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
it then begs the question, is it truly our health and wellness, or simply the chance to profit, that motivates so much of the messaging in our health and wellness culture?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
part of freeing yourself from diet culture is unraveling the pervasive messaging we often take as hard truth and picking it apart based on our lived experience and knowledge.  this can help us determine what truly serves our overall wellbeing versus what is simply padding the pockets of the industry.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

one of the things I hear most often from individua one of the things I hear most often from individuals looking to break free form diet culture and embrace intuitive eating is “I feel like all I’m doing is thinking and analyzing my food behaviors and all I want to do is stop thinking so much about food.”

this is completely understandable.  when food and food rules have owned your life for so long, and you finally embrace the thing that’s supposed to help you break that cycle, it can feel like a lot.

the difference is, while intuitive eating may require a deeper dive at the outset, it ultimately sets you *free* from all the over-thinking and analyzing of food & food choices, setting you up for a peaceful relationship with food that can last a lifetime.

dieting and food rules feel simple at the outset, but keep us in a never-ending cycle of distress around food.
