Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, about 12 inches diameter)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Buffalo Sauce Mix

  • 1/4 cup buffalo sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • Dash of garlic powder

Toppings

  • 1 cup plant-based cheese (plant-based), shredded
  • 1 cup canned or fresh tuna, chunked
  • 1/2 cup smoked turkey bacon, chopped
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Accompaniments

  • Celery sticks, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about 12 inches in diameter, aiming for a round shape. Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper for even cooking.
  2. Mix the Buffalo Sauce (natural): In a small bowl, combine buffalo sauce (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and a dash of garlic powder. Stir well until the sauce is fully blended to create a flavorful base.
  3. Assemble the Pizza: Spoon the buffalo sauce mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded plant-based cheese (plant-based) generously across the surface. Break the tuna into chunks and scatter evenly over the cheese, followed by pieces of smoked turkey bacon. Finish with thinly sliced green onions to maintain their fresh bite post-baking.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the crust is golden and crispy and the plant-based cheese (plant-based) has melted and is bubbling. Watch closely to prevent overcooking.
  5. Finish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes to allow flavors to settle and to make slicing easier. Serve warm with fresh celery sticks for a refreshing, crunchy complement.

Notes

  • Do not overload the toppings to keep the crust crispy.
  • Use high-quality canned or fresh tuna for best flavor and texture.
  • Spread the buffalo sauce (natural) evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
  • Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve a perfectly crispy crust.
  • When available, bake on a pizza stone for the best crust texture.
