Vegan Veggie Pizza

Enjolinfam's Note:

This pizza is so delicious and pretty to serve that my guests always love this pizza and don't feel it's missing anything by being vegan. I used Sue L's Pizza Sauce and our Healthy Italian Breadsticks or Pizza Crust for the crust. Preparation and cooking time includes time to make Healthy Italian Breadsticks or Pizza Crust for the pizza.

3. Spread pesto sauce and then pizza sauce over pizza dough. Sprinkle half of the vegan cheese all over sauce. Arrange tomatoes, and yellow squash or zucchini, over pizza. Scatter onion and bell pepper over vegetables. Sprinkle on the other half of the vegan cheese. Scatter on mushrooms, olives, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes, if desired.
