Finding a delectable, dairy-free version of this classic Italian dish can be unsatisfying and disappointing. Although a homemade pizza is easy and delicious, having it delivered from your local pizzeria is just luxurious. No prep work or dishes to do, just melted, bubbly cheese on a crisp but bread-like crust with an array of toppings and dinner is done. Luckily, Vancouverites don’t have to settle for the ‘no cheese’ pizza. Some of the best vegan pizza in Vancouver is located right at your fingertips.
