This cheesy vegan garlic mushroom and spinach pizza is perfect when you want a quick dinner that’s not only delicious but also healthy! This recipe is simple, and it’s the best pizza you will ever have!

Sometimes I just really need pizza, and by sometimes, I mean almost every Friday night! I’m not sure who came up with #pizzafriday, but for me everyday is a good day for pizza! Especially when it’s an easy to make and delicious pizza, like this cheesy vegan garlic mushroom and spinach pizza with toasted pine nuts. I like it best when it’s made with my homemade best pizza dough, but sometimes I switch it up for easy pizza toast. Also, if you make your own pizza dough in advance and store it in the freezer, you can be having homemade pizza in less than 20 minutes! I mean, how amazing is that?!
This Garlic Mushroom and Spinach Pizza is quick, easy, and healthy!
If anyone were to ask me what my all-time favorite food is, my answer would definitely be Pasta, Ravioli, Gnocchi, and of course PIZZA! I’m a little bit obsessed with these kinds of foods, they’re so delicious. However, that’s not such a big problem because you can make everything healthier by using plant-based ingredients and adding lots of vegetables. I don’t think it can get any better when meals are healthy but still super tasty, right?

Creamy Spinach Topping with roasted Garlic Mushrooms and vegan Cheese
This vegan Garlic Mushroom and Spinach Pizza is plant-based and contains no dairy ingredients and no saturated fats. To make the topping (spread), I start with the spinach cream. It’s simply made of fresh spinach (frozen spinach will do too), vegan cream cheese (you can also make your own cashew ricotta), and some spices. This mixture creates a creamy base on your pizza before going into the oven. I also added roasted garlic to the cream cheese which gives your pizza amazing flavors! Granted I like to add quite a lot of garlic but when you roast garlic the flavor becomes a lot milder. Don’t be afraid of using more garlic in this recipe, well unless you don’t like garlic. While the pizza is baking, pan-fry the mushrooms. Honestly, I don’t like baked mushrooms so much because they usually get dry and tasteless when you just bake them.






Use your favorite pizza dough or swap for toast
If you take a look in my freezer, I guarantee that you’ll find at least one frozen homemade pizza dough in there. I usually make a big batch and freeze it, so I always have pizza dough on hand for those inevitable pizza cravings! Of course, there are times that I forget to prepare new pizza dough, or I forget to defrost it, in which case I simply use bread, a baguette, or toast as a base for my pizza. If that sounds good to you, check out the recipe for my easy vegan Pizza Toast.

The perfect simple recipe for any occasion!
This vegan Spinach Pizza is so perfect if you want a quick and easy vegan weeknight dinner! I’ve actually made this Garlic Mushroom and Spinach Pizza a lot and often several times in a row. Sometimes I even eat the leftovers for breakfast or as a quick lunchtime snack to go. I’m pretty sure no one will notice that this pizza is made with dairy-free alternatives, but if you’re not vegan, you can most certainly use regular ricotta or cream cheese to make this pizza. Regardless, no matter what pizza dough or cheese you use, this pizza comes together in only 20 minutes! If you like this recipe, be sure to check out my other recipes with spinach and mushrooms.

Bianca, wieder ein 1A-Rezept von dir. 🤤
Ich liebe deine Rezepte einfach ❤️.
LG S.
Vielen Dank! 🙂 Ich wünsche dir noch einen gemütlichen Sonntagabend! ♡
Ich liebe Spinat und Pilze, deswegen war es für mich klar die Pizza irgendwann mal nachzumachen und das habe ich gestern getan! Es war soooooo lecker! Hat mich auf jedenfall dazu bewegt lieber Pizza selber zu machen! 😀 Tolles Rezept!
Da haben wir eindeutig etwas gemeinsam! 😀 Schön, dass es dir so gut geschmeckt hat. <3
Wow! Ich habe vegan durch Ziegenfrischkäse und geraspelten Mozzarella ersetzt. Teig (mit Dinkelmehl) ca. 8h gehen lassen. Menge Spinat und Pilze deutlich erhöht! Pilze mit geräuchertem Paprika und Chili Lemon Mix gewürzt. Macht zwei Bleche. Selbst mein Freund liebt neuerdings unsere vegetarischen Tage 😁 vielen lieben Dank für die geniale Inspiration!
Das freut mich natürlich sehr! 🙂
Vielen Dank für dein super Feedback! ♡
This pizza is so so good. A nice change from pizza rosso. Also i feel like the spinach/garlic/cream cheese sauce would be nice with gnocchi or pasta as well 🤔
10/10 recommend!
I am so happy that you love this pizza recipe!
Thanks for your great feedback! Your serving suggestions sounds delicious, too! 😛
Much love, Bianca <3
Die Kombination Spinat mit Knoblauch ist einfach klasse. Das ist so lecker 🤤
