On February 9th, we celebrated World Pizza Day by sharing some of our favourite pizza spots in South Africa. We then set out to make our vegan pizzas. Armed with pizza bases, toppings and vegan mozzarella, we tried and tasted a variety of combinations to now bring you 5 Vegan Pizza ideas to try at home.
