    The thing that always strikes me as weird with recipes like this is that there is so much banging’ vegan food in the world. Why not just make and eat some of that instead of trying to make an almost certainly inferior version of non-vegan food?

      A lot of people developed a taste for burgers and pizza, before learning they should be eating in a more sustainable manner.

        I don’t, I didn’t even know what pizza was till I was about 20 yrs old… It wasn’t a thing in my country back then… We’ve been invaded with it now though lol, but I never developed a love for it… I can eat it and enjoy it, but I can easily live without it too

      Of all the criticism you could lay upon this, that is the least valid. Yes, it’s a pizza pie hybrid, because that’s what a Chicago deep dish style pizza is.

          But it wasn’t even six inches high before it went in the oven! Doesn’t that still qualify as thin crust? 😆

      While originally from Chicago, I live in NY now. I tried what they call pizza here, and it was indistinguishable from cardboard with some ketchup on top. 😁

        The cheese on top, no, but that’s basically a garnish. The melted cheese is underneath all the toppings.

          Exactly. Some places like Uno’s don’t garnish the sauce on top, but many other big name Chicago joints do… usually with just a little shredded or more commonly grated Parmesan.

    Crust looks awesome! I do have to say im a little sad your cheeze didn’t melt. What kinds did you use?

      Miyoko’s cashew milk based moz is the most realistic flavor and melts well. The Follow Your Heart Parmesan (sprinkled on top) does not melt well, but their provolone does. Also used some Daiya mozzarella which melts, but doesn’t tastes too great. Sauce with Roma paste, olive oil, marjoram, fennel, garlic is almost strong enough flavor to cover up the Daiya, but not quite. Wish there were more choices.
