My favorite pizza is the kind I make myself: gourmet toppings, freshly made vegan pesto, finely shredded casein-free cheese and freshly pounded dough sprinkled with a dash of thick corn meal. Heavenly. But it's Labor Day weekend, and for most people, 'taking it easy' is a must. So for the final segment of my Back to School Series, it's time for a Pizza Party! But how do you make your pizza party vegan? Easy! Here is my Top Ten List of Vegan 'healthier' Pizzas in NYC and beyond: get your pizza delivered, eat it out, or maybe (because you really do love to cook) - make it yourself. Check out this Pizza Party list!...
Pizza Delivered, Vegan? Everyone enjoys the lazy-night fun of pizza delivery.

Well here is my top ten list of 'healthier option' vegan-friendly pizzas in NYC (and beyond).
Top Ten Vegan-Friendly Pizza Ideas in NYC and beyond.
1. Do-it-Yourself Pizza!
Pizza night has a new meaning in our household. It means we roll out our own dough, slather on our own sauce, sprinkle on vegan cheese and pile on fresh cut, seasonal and organic toppings. I love it. Yes it's more work that simply dialing direct, but the result can't be beat.
Where: Whole Foods has some amazing fresh packed pizza dough. They even have multi-grain and whole wheat options. They also have fresh pizza sauce, but I prefer to make my own or just use tomatoes. Trader Joe's also has fresh dough in whole wheat and garlic herb flavors, although I prefer Whole Foods by far.
Veganized: Easy. Simply use vegan cheese (I love the Follow Your Heart brand Mozzarella) and use some soy-pepperoni or tempeh strips as your proteins. Or go all-veggie, with fresh veggies galore! Sometimes I'll pile on too many toppings. Soggy crust.
Whoops. Choose a few faves and layer strategically.
