Ellen, “Kalamata olives, bella mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, and mozzarella Daiya cheese! YUM!”
Megan, “Artichoke, onions, mushrooms, and kalamata olives. So good!”
I use a random number generator to choose winners for fairness, but I think olives are gross, so after drawing four olivey pizzas I decided to hand-pick the last answer. Onions and garlic, heck yeah!
Shannon, “My dream pizza is one I just started making recently. I make 2 french bread rolls. After they are done and cooled off, I cut them in half and into fours. I use them as my crust. I top them with sauteed mushrooms, garlic, onions, and kale. I put a thin layer of Daiya on top, after I sauced them. Then I add my veggies, followed by another layer of Daiya. After I pop them out of the oven I sprinkle some vegan paremsan cheese on top along with a little basil and oregano. Sometimes if I add a little Sriracha to give a kick!”
You’ll be emailed in the morn!
There are a few touchy subjects among vegans that everyone has strong, differing opinions on. One of the big ones is which brand of vegan cheese you prefer, if any. Every brand has its fans, and the same brands have people who think it’s completely gross. But who cares, we now have more vegan cheese options than you can shake a stick at!
Daiya had the vegan world a-buzzing before it was even released. Shredded cheese? That melts? That isn’t soy? And if you’re a fan or not, you can’t deny that Daiya has really pushed vegan cheese out into the mainsteam. I have seen it Kroger grocery stores, a place where I have never seen anything but those non-vegan veggie shreds. It’s in Amy’s products, Gardein, Tofurkey is making frozen pizzas with it…and restaurants are using it! Getting a vegan pizza where you don’t overpay for them to take off the cheese is an exciting thing, especially if you don’t live in a big city where vegan foods are easier to find.
(Vegan pizza with Daiya from Pi Pizzeria in St. Louis)
My personal favorite way to use Daiya is pepperjack flavor + tortilla = instant quesadilla!
Today, we are giving away three free product coupons to five lucky winners, meaning you can get a bag of each flavor if you want! Since I now have pizza on the brain, just comment here with your dream vegan pizza combination to enter! This giveaway is open to US and Canada only. The winners will be chosen tonight at 11 pm CST.

Pretty basic red sauce-white cheese with spinach, broccoli and mushroom toppings.
mmmm…daiya mozzarella and cheddar blend, marinara sauce, sweet onions, pineapple, jalapenos, and olives…yummy
chickpeas, artichoke hearts, kale, vegan bechamel and daiya.
I love Daiya on pizzas! I would love to have a pizza with capers, roasted red peppers, kalamata olives, caramelized onions and shitake mushrooms. Yum.
Okay vegan pizza (oh man now I want pizza so bad!): vegan crust with daiya cheese bakes into the crust, marinara sauce, more daiya cheese (mozzarella), artichoke hearts, mushrooms, fresh tomato slices, sliced pepperchinis! Yummy!
My dream pizza would be deep-dish, and would have at least three different types of mushrooms on it. And pesto, lots of pesto.
My favorite combination on pizza is: smoky bbq sauce, cheddar Daiya, Pete’s Soyganic smoked tofu, artichoke hearts, fresh figs (cut into quarters), and if I’m feeling crazy, some chopped up pears or apples.
Umm…. I love all pizza. That said, I’m thinking a cornmeal-whole wheat crunchy thin crust with a good slathering of sweet sundried tomato pesto and topped with thick slices of sauteed peaches. Then when it comes out of the oven… sprinkle a good layer of arugula over top (for a peppery bite), a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, a sprinkle of salt, and a drizzle of olive oil. Sweet and spicy. But that salty sharpness of bleu cheese is what makes it work… get on that, Daiya.
mushrooms, black olives, and tomatoes always makes a real nice combo. maybe throw some spinach or kale on top.
Thin rosemary garlic flat bread + arugula pesto +carmelized onion+ Daiya mozzarella+ quinoa tabouleh + avocado with fresh lime juice+ raw tomato sprinkled with sea salt= BLISS
Daiya pepperjack, mozzarella and cheddar blend for a 3-cheese deep dish pizza, with a sun dried tomato basil pesto atop spinach and mushrooms over a roasted red pepper sauce.
bbq sauce, Gardein lime-chipotle chicken, cheddar Daiya. When finished baking I would top it with green onion and cilantro, and dip it in vegan Ranch.
The Bad Little Spice Delight: poofy white crust lathered with date puree, sprinkled with fresh pineapple, Roasted Red Pepper and artichoke pieces with chunks Buffalo-Winged BBQ Flavoured Shicken (Faux-Chicken). Yums!
Thin crust with hummus, mozzarella and sweet-hot pickled jalepenos. Yum!
I love me some thin crust brushed with garlicky olive oil, topped with sundried tomatoes, artichokes, and vegan mozzarella. Mmmm…
A garbage plate pizza with a cheddar Daiya cheese sauce, mixed veggies & tater tots!
Mac & Cheese on pizza. made with Daiya, of course!
Deep dish crust with extra pizza sauce, diced tomatoes, mushrooms, basil and Daiya Mozzarella Style Shreds.
My dream pizza combo would be kale, roasted garlic, kalamata olives, and jalapenos (I like my pizza spicy)!
Thank you for the giveaway!
Artichoke, onions, mushrooms, and kalamata olives. So good!
I used to love Hawaiian pizza when I was a kid so my dream pizza definitely includes pineapple and green peppers. I think I’d throw on some sliced shiittake mushrooms, too.
Sundried tomatoes, gardein chickn scallopini, olives, red onions and fresh basil with a roasted garlic sauce. Now I’m hungry….
Seitan, mushrooms, onions, peppers and oil and garlic butter with mozzarella, no red sauce. Cheesesteak pizza essentially.
My favorite would have to be kalamata tapenade, artichoke hearts, thinly sliced onions, fresh tomatoes, garlic and Daiya. Yum.
roasted garlic whole wheat crust, pesto sauce, broccoli, spinach, zucchini, red onions, and mozzarella daiya. yummy, I want pizza now!
Spinach, artichoke, olives, onion and mushroom. It’s so delicious as is (tortilla + pizza sauce + toppings = cheater vegan pizza), I’d love to try it with the daiya mozzarella.
Dream pizza: whole wheat crust, fresh sliced tomato, pineapple, jalapeno and Daiya pepperjack. Why haven’t I made this happen already?
YUM! Marinara, mozzerrella AND cheddar Daiya, black olives, pineapple, and veggie sausage. Top it off with red pepper and tons of garlic! Now I’m hungry.
I think simple is best. Some Daiya cheese, basil, roasted tomatoes and garlic can’t be beat.
Kalamata olives, bella mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, and mozzarella Daiya cheese! YUM!

Pizza has to be one of my favorite foods. I love just a basic with daiya mozzarella, fresh basil, garlic, and tomatoes.
Oh, Daiya! My family and I love it so-
Being gluten free/casein free makes pizza a little trickier than normal. My six year old adores pizza though, so I have endeavored to create one he’ll love as much as the wheat and dairy filled kind. Daiya goes a very long way in helping us accomplish that!
I have a pretty good recipe I use for gluten free crust, and I top it with red sauce, thinly sliced and seasoned beets (they are a lot like pepperoni), onions, and mushrooms. It’s so great!
Daiya, pesto tofu, mushrooms, and sundried tomatoes. YUM!
Sundried tomatoes, pine nuts, oyster mushrooms, and mozzarella daiya sounds heavenly!
pesto sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, caramelized onions, olives, with daiya sounds lovely
I still haven’t even tried Daiya!

My dream pizza has Daiya cheese, onions, spinach, roasted red peppers and pineapple.
Oooh, my dream pizza? It would probably be half Greek and half Thai. Weird combination, sure, but oh so delicious! Half would have olives and barely any tomato sauce and garlic and artichokes and spinach, and the other half would have a peanut sauce and herbs and peppers and lions and tigers and bears, oh my! Wait, nope, not that last bit…
hand tossed crust brushed with olive oil, fresh roma tomatoes, Daiya mozzarella and basil. skip the sauce.
Thai peanut sauce, green and red bell peppers, pineapple, crushed cashews, spinach and daiya mozzarella/cheddar mix 🙂

Vegan Pizza can be a life-savor when traveling, but being able to keep the cheese on and still enjoy a vegan pizza – fabulous. Tonight, I think that a great combo would be potato, bbq, broccoli, vegan, bacon, and daiya cheese – yum!
Isa’s crust with my homemade pesto, with artichokes, black olives, tomatoes, garlic, and just enough mozz to hold the toppings on.

My signature pizza would be nothing without Daiya! Fresh crust from scratch (of course), braised seitan smothered in franks red hot and earth balance, topped with as much Daiya as you can fit on the pizza. Nom!
Sicilian pie, mandolin sliced potatoes, chopped onions, olive oil, gads of Daiya: mozz or cheddar, however you roll.
Marinated portobellos, artichoke hearts and lots of garlic. Cheers!
Dream pizza? Medium crust (not too thin, not too thick), my own sauce, diced onion, diced red and green pepper, diced mushroom (a light but generous sprinkling of each- does that make sense?), and then just a light tossing of Daiya mozzarella shreds- because too much cheese is just that, too much. And if we must, just a few circles of homemade vegan pepperoni. I’m done.
I LOVE DAIYA! My dream pizza would be a deep dish pizza with roasted garlic, spinach, pine nuts, alfredo sauce and Daiya cheese! Or a curry pizza with potatoes and garlic and curry and red onion! SO GOOD!
I like to keep it simple: marinara sauce, basil, maybe mushrooms, and daiya mozzarella on thin crust. yum:)

My favorite pizza that I’ve made with Daiya was a BBQ Chik’n pizza with cheddar cheese. Cheddar Daiya and barbeque sauce were meant to go together.
Daiya is amazing! I had almost given up on vegan cheese until I tried Daiya! My classic pizza is tomato sauce, bell pepper, red onion, kalamata olives and artichoke hearts!! Yum!
BBQ sauce, soy curls, and mac and cheese made with way too much cheddar Daiya on top of VWAV crust. You can never have too many carbs!
daiya was the first vegan cheese i ever liked. it has opened up so many options!
my dream pizza:
homemade dough, olive oil drizzled on top, mozzarella-style-shreds sprinkled on top, fresh tomatoes sliced, kalamata olives, basil from the garden, and a bit of rosemary sprinkled over it.
Simple yet delicious!
A thin, Daiya mozarella-infused, cauliflower-based crust (with lots of fresh basil) to start; a spicy-sweet, roasted tomato and pumpkin seed pesto for the sauce; huge chunks of poblano peppers, fat tomato slices, and sweet bell peppers on top – all smothered in a blend of both mozarella and cheddar Daiya cheeses, with arugula and more fresh basil on top.
Dust that puppy with some roasted red pepper flakes and serve it with a tasty side of lemon-jicama slaw. Mmmmm.
