Vegan Buffalo Chicken Pizza

Nothing makes a pizza better than being prepared—as Coletta’s chefs do—in an authentic brick-oven.

What makes a traditional brick oven special is the way it draws its energy: the roaring heat from a real fire. The flavor of smokey, burning wood chips enhances the natural flavors of the pizza’s crust, creating an unforgettably mouthwatering result.

Nothing makes a brick oven pizza more obvious than its signature bubbling, deliciously toasted crust.

Because the constantly burning fire keeps the oven at a high, consistent temperature, the pizza crust cooks at a rapid speed, allowing it to gain that even crisp before the ingredients themselves have time to burn. The result is a chewy, moist crust that still maintains a crispy exterior.

Though Coletta offers classic pizza options, few are more outstandingly flavorful than the vegan buffalo chicken pizza.

Built on the same crispy foundation as every other pizza on our expansive menu, the buffalo chicken pizza utilizes buffalo sauce, giving it a spicy kick that sets it apart from any vegan pizza you’ve ever tasted. Finely shaved celery and blue “cheese” crema brighten the flavor profile up, adding a creamy texture and sharp, peppery bite.

Finally, a generous helping of buttermilk fried “chick’n” keeps this dish filling and protein-rich, ensuring you won’t step away from this meal hungry.

Ingredients

Vegan pizza crust
1/3 cup of Frank’s buffalo sauce (or any other vegan option)
1 1/3 cups of vegan pepper jack “cheese”
1/3 a red onion

Vegan chick’n strips
1/2 cup of Daiya blue cheese dressing (for dipping)
Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (optional)

Instructions

Begin by preparing your crust as necessary. Then, brush the center with a generous layer of buffalo sauce. Optionally, drizzle olive oil on the outside edges of the crust for a crispy, dippable finish.
Sprinkle the pepper jack alternative across the surface of the crust, as much or as little as you desire.
From here, it’s time to prepare the toppings. Slice the red onion into thin slivers and sprinkle them generously over your pizza’s surface. Bring the chick’n alternative to room temperature (if frozen) and place it over the surface of your pizza as well.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, then allow the pizza to cook until the “cheese” begins to melt and the onions brown. Just before removing the pizza from the oven, adjust the heat to broil for an even crispier crust.
After the pizza cools, slice into the desired portions and enjoy with an extra drizzle of “blue cheese!”
