I’ve been pizza-deprived for most of the years I’ve been a vegan, because I really couldn’t believe I would like a pizza without cheese, and hadn’t met a vegan cheese so far that I would want to ruin the taste of the pizza. Until now, I did find a couple of brands that don’t have any taste, so can’t do any damage. And they melt nicely. But I heard raves from people who have eaten the vegan pizzas that some Whole Foods stores (in CA?) sell, which are topped with Daiya. It is now available at Vegan Essentials, so I bought a couple of bags of the shredded variety.

Maybe it’s because I actually used a whole (small) baggie, or it really does have a good taste, but I consider tonight’s pizza to be the most decadent, cheese-wise. I’ll have to have another helping to be sure, but I think that I would highly recommend people trying Daiya, if they haven’t found a brand that they already like. Here are a couple of pictures.

In reality, I darkened the second picture to make it look more brown than it actually was. I should have baked the pizza a few more minutes to actually brown the Daiya a little more. But I was afraid that one minute too many might ruin the whole thing.

I also don’t know if it’s because it was shredded or not, but it melts really nicely, and does what pizza cheese does, when you pick up a piece and it stretches from one piece to another.
