Look at that, a vegetarian meal and you would hardly know it by the looks of this loaded pizza. Generally, I love my pizza loaded to please my inner carnivore.
But this time around, I decided to trade in my usual meaty pizza for a vegetarian spin as part of my sponsorship with Ford and their Switch It Up Series.
I’m joining Merrill Stubbs with Ford’s fun new YouTube Series Switch It Up. A series that is helping experts try something new-or something they’ve never done before. You are going to love how encouraging they are. Check this one out from DIY maven Erica Domesek, of PS I Made This. She challenged Merrill Stubbs of Food 52 to trade out her kitchen comfort for a studio to do an art project.
That said, this pizza – you cannot believe the bulging eyes and sighs of disbelief from my family when this hit the dinner table. Naomi of course, being nearly vegetarian herself, loved it but couldn’t believe the pizza before her was one crafted by the meat lover she knows me to be. Same with Cole, but once he took a bite and three pieces later—he was all in.
Admittedly, I was a bit apprehensive and was sure I would need to have a second dinner ready in case I wasn’t satisfied or filled enough. Both proved to be wrong. I actually loved it and the “meatiness” of the cauliflower was enough to keep me full for the evening.

Okay, I so have to make this pizza! Yum! Southwestern anything is the best!
I absolutely loved it. Thanks so much Tori!
I’ve made pizza crust out of cauliflower, but never put cauliflower ON pizza. You, my friend, are a pizza WIZARD! I love the Southwestern flavah going on here! Pinned!
You’re the best, thanks Taylor!
I love roasted cauliflower on a pizza! Great flavors going on!
Thanks Tieghan!
I’ve used cauliflower in place of meat in my chili before, so I know it works great! I love that you’ve taken the extra step of roasting it though, I bet the flavors are just incredible! Gorgeous as always, Matt 🙂
Thank you Allie!
This is beyond genius. The flavors of this pizza are sensational!
Thank you Jocelyn!
Cauliflower is a huge addiction of mine (probably weird, but true) and southwestern flavored anything is always a hit with my belly, so this pizza looks epically delicious! I love that you made this with puff pastry! I am drooling at the thought of the buttery flakey crust paired with the toppings. Delicious, as always! Cheers, Matt!
This is right up my alley! And the Switch it Up series sounds so fun!
