Lately,Papa Murphyspresented their vegan pizza option. So of course I had to try and share my experiences. Papa Murphy's vegan pizza uses my favorite vegan cheese, the Violife vegan cheese brand. Vegan pizza is all about cheese!

Papa-Murphy-Pizza

Papa Murphy's is a unique pizza chain offering ready-to-bake pizzas at home. Made from scratch with fresh ingredients so you can pick it up, bake it and enjoy it fresh out of the oven.

I love this concept! Many times I don't want my pizza delivered because it's cold by the time it's delivered. Or I get my pizza and it gets cold before I get home.

I'm getting my pizza made but uncooked from Papa Murphy's. Then I take it home and keep it in the fridge until baking time.

And they have multiple locations in 37 different states.

• New York crust.
• Fresh pan crust (described as "buttery" but does not contain butter)

vegan pizza options

• Horta pizza:The Garden Veggie Pizza comes with an original crust, traditional sauce, mozzarella cheese, Roma tomatoes, mushrooms, black olives, green peppers and a mix of yellow, red and green onions. To make this vegan pizza, swap out the mozzarella cheese for non-dairy cheese.
• Gourmet Vegetarians:The gourmet vegetarian pizza with original dough, gourmet white sauce, mozzarella cheese, artichoke hearts, Roma tomatoes, cheese topping (mozzarella and cheddar), zucchini, mushrooms, spinach, yellow, red and green onion mix, plus herbs and cheese mix as indicated in the menu. This one needs some replacements. Replace the gourmet white sauce with another of Papa Murphy's vegan sauces, ask for non-dairy cheese in place of the mozzarella, and remove the topping cheese and herbed cheese mixture. So perfectly vegan!

How to Make Papa Murphy's Vegan Pizza

When you buy a vegan pizza at Papa Murphy's, it comes in the griddle or the deep version. First, the pasta is already ready, with sauce, vegan cheese and the toppings of your choice. The pizza is then wrapped in plastic wrap with cooking instructions.

While Papa Murphy's offers a variety of vegan toppings, adding your own at home saves a lot of money and gets you the toppings you want, plus it's fun for the kids.

1. Step 1 - Preheat. Preheat oven to 425°F. Remove plastic wrap and leave pizza with original dough on baking sheet.
2. Step 2 - Bake. Bake the pizza with the original dough on the middle rack of the oven for about 12 to 18 minutes (varies by oven). ...
3. Step 3 - Have fun! Let the pizza rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Each pizza comes with its own personalized instructions for the different types of pizza dough. And each pizza comes on its own baking sheet, so no plates.

Pizza customization at home

To save money, we add our own ingredients. We love a lot of goodies on our pizza, so we decided to make our own pizza using vegetables in the fridge.

• Portobello Mushrooms:Portobello mushrooms are vegan meat for us.
• Spinach:I chose organic spinach. It wilts perfectly when heated in the oven.
• red onion:Red onions are sweet and caramelize when roasted in the oven.
• Tomato Cocktail:I slice the grape tomatoes.
• pepper: The peppers are cut into perfectly small pieces and offer excellent color and texture.
• Kalamata Olives:I love the flavor of Kalamata olives.
• Jalapenos:As you can see, we placed jalapeño slices in the center of the pizza to customize it so my husband and I could enjoy the heat while the rest of the family went without heat.
• additional sauce:We also asked for extra sauce because we like it spicy.

common questions

tips

• Remove from the fridge 60 minutes before baking to allow the dough to rise. Always bake pizza within 24 hours of purchase.
• If your pizza has been refrigerated after baking and stays below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, it's safe to eat for up to four days.
• If making more than one pizza, place each pizza on a separate baking sheet. Before preheating the oven, place one baking sheet on the first rack and the other on the second rack as planned. Let the pizzas bake for 12 to 18 minutes; Ovens vary in temperature.
• Another option you have if you don't want to bake all of Papa Murphy's pizza is to freeze a portion of the raw pizza for later use. While this isn't an official recommendation and may not taste exactly like freshly cooked, it's a great way to avoid waste.
• To avoid soggy pizza, always preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Your pizza should be baked at a high temperature so that it is crispy and cooked through, but not dry. If your oven isn't hot enough, it won't bake the pizza evenly. The recommended temperature for baking a homemade pizza is between 450 and 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Deep dish pizza takes longer to cook. See specific instructions for the type of pizza ordered.

So the next time you're in the mood for pizza, make yourself a Papa Murphy pizza. Choose from the vegan options, build your own, or buy an easy vegan cheese pizza and make your own pizza at home.
