The challenge with making delicious vegan pizza is that for many people, a pizza must have cheese and – until recently – many vegan cheeses left much to be desired. Luckily for the vegans out there (like Ooni’s co-founder, Darina!) the flavour, texture and options have vastly improved. A great example? This vegan ricotta, candied chilli and roasted butternut squash sauce pizza from chef, founder of @pizzaislovely and Bristol-based Ooni ambassador Julian Guy.

The nutty flavour of roasted squash paired with homemade vegan ricotta that’s incredibly close to the dairy version (and tastes far better than most of the products you can buy) is a match made in heaven. And while it takes a bit of time (2 to 3 days) to prepare the ricotta, the results are worth it and perfectly complimented by a kick of candied chillies. Finished off with a garnish of crispy fried sage, this pizza hits all the right spots whether you’re vegan, trying out Veganuary, or looking for something delectably new.
