When you want pizza fast, you can order delivery or you can bake your own at home. If you want a pizza your way, you can either customize your shop-made pie and pay the extra fees for cherry picking your toppings or you can build your own pizza at home. With the wide array of frozen and ready-made pizza crusts available now, including refrigerated ready-made dough, gluten-free, frozen cauliflower and veggie-spiked pizza crusts, you can have the best of both worlds by combining the convenience of a ready-to-top-and-bake pizza crust with red sauce or white sauce or just olive oil and your favorite toppings. But before you top your pre-made pizza crust, make sure to read the package instructions, as most refrigerated or frozen pizza crusts require some bake time in the oven before being adorned with toppings.

We love classic toppings like pepperoni and sausage with olives, but our veggie pizza with red sauce hits the spot when you're in the mood for gooey melted cheese, a sweet, sun-ripened sauce, but also want the variety of lightly caramelized veggies. Made with a frozen almond flour pizza crust, our easy veggie pizza comes together in about 25 minutes. We spooned on a generous spread of our unsweetened red pizza sauce and topped with skinny half moons of red onion and green bell pepper, thinly sliced white button mushrooms, broccoli florets, cherry tomato quarters, and coin-sized slices of white string cheese—tip: string cheese melts really well. You can substitute fresh buffalo mozzarella, or a mild vegan cheese if you want a vegan pizza.
