Vegan Pepperoni Pizza

I've had the pleasure of enjoying many vegan pizzas, particularly as vegan food becomes more commonplace and recipes become more creative. Whilst I'm always up for a healthy spin on a pizza (I'm talking cauliflower base and veggie toppings - yum!), sometimes I just need a hearty, unapologetically indulgent meal, and I'm happy to report that my Vegan Pepperoni Pizza is just that.

My recipe includes details on how to make a crunchy homemade base, but its secret ingredient is without a doubt Suzy Spoon's Peppernoni. It's meaty, packed full of flavour, and 100% vegan (also nut free!). Pick up a packet and add it to your pizza - you won't be able to get enough of the aroma in the room as your pizza cooks!
