This delicious vegan pizza recipe with Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat crust is the best pie ever. A go-to year-round.
When it comes to this delicious vegan pizza recipe, it just goes to show that staying lean, healthy, and plant-based does not exclude eating pizza. Perish the thought!
And especially with this 100% organic vegan pizza recipe made with a rich Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat crust.
In fact I was so delighted when I finally nailed this recipe decades back when I first went vegan. I knew I’d have to learn to make a dairy-free, gluten-free pizza so I wouldn’t feel deprived.
So I tackled the dough first, the trickiest part, and then the sauce, and after countless attempts using a symphony of my favorite ingredients, my homemade vegan pizza recipe was born.
And I’ve been rocking it since! 🍕🍕🍕
One of the things that makes this pizza recipe so healthy is that it’s all organic. Organic foods are cleaner and more nutrient-dense.
It also rocks the epic goodness of Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat and slews of gut-healthy ingredients, including fresh raw veggies and a delicious plant-based sauce — which, by the way, can be subbed with jarred if you’re too busy to go all in (clickable image):

Pizza Dough Recipe
Making your own pizza dough from scratch has advantages, such as cherry-picking flours.
I’ve personally found that all of the following gluten-free flours work pretty good:
- HTB.
- Quinoa.
- Amaranth.
- Brown rice.
- Almond.
- Chickpea.
- Lentil.
- Teff.
- Sorghum.
- Corn.
- Namaste.
- Cassava.
- Millet.
- Oat.
In this recipe I use Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat and organic almond flour.

Pizza Sauce Recipe
It’s key to use as many fresh organic ingredients as possible — such as rosemary, basil, oregano, garlic, onions, and thyme — for an epic sauce.
The best tomatoes are Italian San Marzano or plum, though Farmer’s Market tomatoes and certified organic are usually OG.
For lectin-free diets use pressure-cooked peeled and seeded tomatoes, or just go raw (e.g., sans sauce).
Here’s what you’ll need (full recipe below):
Ingredients
- 1 jar tomatoes.
- 1 jar tomato paste.
- 1 jar pizza sauce.
- 2 ripe tomatoes.
- 1 diced red onion.
- 1 diced bell pepper.

- 1/4 tsp stevia
- ½ teaspoon sriracha. (optional)
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast.
- 1 tbsp vegan Parmesan.
- 1/2 tbsp black pepper.
- 1/2 tbsp grains of paradise.
- 1 tsp pink salt.
- 1 cup plant protein (optional vegan pepperoni, sausage, chorizo, etc.)
Instructions
- Saute any vegan proteins like plant-based sausage in olive oil.
- Add the fresh veggies and herbs and cook until tender but firm.
- Add the tomato sauces/paste and simmer for 15 minutes, adding the rest of the ingredients last.
- Season to taste.
- Cool or refrigerate before topping.
Pizza Topping Ideas
The possibilities are endless when it comes to toppings, such as peppers, onions, mushrooms, olives, garlic, vegan pesto.
Dark leafy greens and artichoke hearts are almost always onboard, and don’t forget fruits — mango, pineapple, avocado.
Pizza Topping Ideas
- Mixed greens.
- Onions & garlic.
- Mushrooms.
- Olives.
- Tomatoes.
- Artichokes.
- Plant proteins.
- Tofu.
- Bell peppers
- Chili peppers.
