Tara’s Tips for Perfect
Vegan Spinach Artichoke Pizza Recipe:
Dairy-Free Ricotta:
- Make your own by following this recipe: Dairy-Free Silken Tofu Ricotta Recipe or use your favorite store-bought version.
Crust:
- As photographed, I used Angelic Bakehouse Flattza Pizza Crust. This sprouted grain crust is just thin enough to crisp up giving it the perfect part tostada part pizza feel. If you like, you can use a homemade dough but roll it out thin. Both of these recipes would work: Eggless Cauliflower Pizza Crust or Whole Wheat Pizza Crust.
Cheese:
- My favorite dairy-free cheeses are Miyoko’s or Violife for mozzarella. If you are not vegan, feel free to use dairy cheese here.
Artichokes:
- This recipe works best with plain artichoke hearts. I use the frozen bagged kind + defrost them. You can also use jarred or canned but try to avoid the ones in oil because they will make the crust soggy. If that is all you have, drain them really well before using.
Spinach:
- FRESH! The fresh, whole leaves are the best for this recipe. Try to avoid using frozen for this one.

Ingredients
- 1 pizza crust (store-bought or homemade, see recipe body for homemade options)
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 2 cups artichoke hearts
- 5 cloves minced garlic
- 2 cups fresh artichoke hearts
- 3 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup vegan shredded mozzarella cheese, I used Violife, sub dairy cheese if not vegan
- 1 cup of dairy-free tofu ricotta, see body of post for homemade recipe
Directions
- Step 1 Preheat oven to 450 degrees F
- Step 2 Make the spinach artichoke mixture by heating 1 tsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, add minced garlic, sauté until browned. Then, add artichokes and continue to sauté until artichokes are slightly browned, lower heat to medium-low and add spinach. Continue to mix until spinach wilts. Turn off and remove pan from heat, set aside.
- Step 3 Spread the tofu ricotta evenly over the pizza crust, top with the spinach artichoke mixture and sprinkle mozzarella on top.
- Step 4 Place crust on pizza pan, bake in a 450-degree oven for 8 minutes, and then 2 minutes under a low broiler or until cheese is bubbly. Watch carefully so you do not burn your pizza. Enjoy!
- Step 5 NOTE – if you are using homemade crust, par-bake in 450-degree oven until lightly golden brown before applying.
