Chef Joey's Vegan Nori Pizzas

Chef Joey Z.'s Note:

This is probably the most healthy pizza I've ever eaten. I have been making it for several years. Instead of tomato sauce you use an avocado sauce. You don't cook the vegetables or the pizza, its mostly raw. Make sure you have a lot of napkins around, this pizza is messy to eat :)

This is such a creative recipe and tastes wonderful!
I didn't use the yeast. Instead I just added olive oil and some parsely to the avacoado and mashed it up. Also added some sauted mushrooms and temph.
Definitely my new favorite dish! If the pizza style is too messy, just roll it into a burrito :)

It was quite delicious, and I would have given it a five if not for the awkwardness of eating the pizza. It was quite messy.
