“When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s amore…”

Hello Beauties! I am more than happy to report that my countless efforts of trying to create a vegan pizza are finally crowned with success.It’s a huge deal to me since giving up pizza was the hardest thing  for me when I went vegan. And making a delicious vegan pizza turned out to be not so easy as I thought… Until now! Because this baby right here is to die for! Seriously,  you won’t even notice that there is no cheese. I know that it looks simple and ordinary but trust me, when you try it you’ll change your mind.
