Italian rocket veggie pizza, you disappeared too fast.
Last April, before I made the choice to become vegan my mom, grandma, and I traveled to Italy to celebrate my grandma’s birthday.
We (of course) had delicious food, but one pizza in particular stuck out in my opinion. We were in a quaint little town called Camogli on the Ligurian coastline. This pizza was thin crusted, fresh and warm from the stone oven, with melty cheese, sweet tomato sauce, and fresh rocket, cherry tomatoes, and shaved parmesan on top.
Fast forward a little over a year later and I’m finally tackling the task of veganizing( I’m making this a word) and recreating this pizza at home. And so my Italian rocket veggie pizza is born.
I use whole wheat pastry, cornmeal, and spelt flours to make the pizza dough for my Italian rocket veggie pizza. I also added rosemary. 
I simply topped this Italian rocket veggie pizza with tomato sauce, vegan parmesan (inspired by Minimalist Baker ), zucchini, fresh tomatoes, basil, red onions, and rosemary.
Then I added with fresh rocket( otherwise known as arugula) and tomatoes.

Looks wonderful, Mikayla! In the winter (too hot and busy right now), I will make it with a gluten-free pizza dough recipe and let you know how that turns out. Pizza and pasta dishes are your grandpa’s and my favorites.
Italian food brings great joy and family love…I learned that from my Grandpa Cannistra who came to the US from Italy when he was a very young man!
Congrats on your delightful blog. Keep cooking and sharing!
Thank you!
