The Best Dairy-Free and Vegan Frozen Pizzas To Try Today

After a long day, the last thing anyone wants to do is grocery shop, cook dinner and clean up. Luckily, frozen pizza has always been there for us when we need a quick and easy meal that will satisfy the hungriest of kids and spouses.

Whether your family is vegan or just one person is lactose intolerant, these dairy-free pizzas will be a crowd favorite. Still, some of these are so high in calories, salt, and sat-fat that they can hardly be considered a healthy option. That's why here at The Beet, we decided to rate vegan pizzas for both taste and health, and let you know which ones are not only good but good for you. Keep in mind that some of the serving sizes are small, and eating a whole pie could set you back nearly half the calories of the entire day.

Cheese is among the hardest foods to give up when going plant-based. But now, you do not need to stop eating pizza to give up cheese. Eating dairy presents serious health risks that even make your day-to-day life more difficult. Dairy is highly inflammatory, causing unnecessary joint and muscle pains.

Dairy consumption increases the risk of several cancers even when consumed in moderation. One study found that one serving a day was associated with a 30 percent elevated risk of developing breast cancer. Loma Linda researchers found that drinking milk increases the risk of prostate cancer by 60 percent. 

Americans eat 3 billion pizzas every year, according to the National Association of Pizza Operators. While the vast majority of those consumers are eating dairy cheese, new brands have developed plant-based cheeses that both vegans and non-vegans will love. But how? Vegan cheeses are made from a variety of ingredients including plant-based milk from cashews or other nuts or proprietary protein blends.

Vegan flatbreads can be hard to come by but luckily, American Flatbread has us covered. The Vegan Harvest flatbread tastes fresh and is restaurant-quality pizza. The cheese alternative was perfectly melty and creamy. We especially loved the garlic and fresh herbs that were all over the flatbread.

Amy's has never failed to make a delicious and filling pizza, especially for the gluten-free crowd. The crust has the most similar texture to actual pizza.

After eating the whole thing, you feel like you got your veggie intake for the day.

Okay, we promise we'll stop after this one, but if you love a plain cheesy pizza without a lot of whistles and bells, this one hits the spot and you could fool the most discerning cheese lover by not even telling them it's made of non-dairy cheese. Keep it on hand for any future snack or meal that requires no more prep than removing the plastic wrapper and popping it into the microwave. If Daiya is your favorite dairy-free cheese, this Amy's pizza will bring a smile to your face. The basil sprinkled on top adds a fresh component to the dish.

Daiya's crust is the crunchiest crust of them all. If you like your pizza well-done, grab this from the frozen aisle section. The cheese didn't melt the way that we wanted but we loved all the combos of mozzarella and cheddar. If you have any sort of allergy, this choice of pizza is a great brand since it is free of dairy, soy, gluten, fish, eggs, and nuts.

If you like to load the veggies on your pizza, this one is for you. This pizza has the cleanest ingredients and has broccoli, corn, brussels sprouts, and mushrooms on top. The cheese doesn't melt well but the veggie overload makes up for it. Keep this pizza in the oven a few minutes longer to make the crust crispier.

The Tattooed Chef Cauliflower Crusted White Pizza boats an excess of plant-based cheese that takes away from any goodness the cauliflower crust may deliver. The crust itself is very delicious and cooks to crispy perfection. The biggest benefit of this plant-based pizza is the protein content, 16g of protein. It is low in carbs and makes a good snack but you may want to scrape off some of the gooey cheese.

With a nice, thick sourdough crust, the vegan cheese didn't melt well but was still creamy to taste. The sausage crumbles were very realistic and gave a nice kick of heat, but the pepperoni slices were too greasy and plastic-like. The pie had very light tomato sauce but was well-seasoned. For just $5.99, it's worth it to pick up this pie during your weekly Trader Joe's shop.

This is a cool company out of Toronto that was founded by two friends in 2017, David and John, who wanted to create a sustainable food company. We love the fact that this pizza uses cauliflower crust, so if you're gluten intolerant or just avoiding carbs, this is the choice for you. It's also delicious, and we only microwaved it. Use the real oven for the best results, and bake it instead.

When Wicked Kitchen sets out to make a spicy plant-based pizza using their grandmother's secret tomato sauce, they deliver. The spicy peppers certainly have a kick what truly delights the tastebuds is the combination of crispy thin crust and somewhat gooey toppings that make this pizza one of a kind. They top it with vegan ground sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, and jalapeño on a wood-fired sourdough crust with Nana's classic red sauce and their own Wicked vegan Motz!Meat one. At just 300 calories and 2 grams of sat fat per serving this is about as clean as a pizza gets! But truth: 1 quarter of this pie is not a serving, half is. So double the Nutritionals for a fair shake.
