We know how time-consuming it is to create pizza dough from scratch, so we've made sure this veggie pizza meal prep recipe does not involve this lengthy process. So, for this easy veggie pizza, we're using Simple Mills pizza dough, a gluten-free almond flour-based option. Instead of creating one large pizza crust, we recommend dividing it into two.
