What is it? Basically a vegan pizza lover's dream- a slice of pizza (with the crispy/chewy uniquely New York style crust) topped with... salad. That's it. Most salad pizza comes without cheese, but you can also ask them for a cheese-less slice. The slice you see above, from Brooklyn, has tomatoes, zucchini, red onions, and fresh basil. I've had slices with variations of toppings- sometimes even lettuce! What sets salad pizza apart is that the toppings are raw or only briefly heated. The combination of refreshing salad and comforting pizza is something that should not be missed. Make sure to seek one out (usually at local neighborhood pizzerias- the kind where you can buy by the slice) next time you're in the area!

Stellar topping choices!!
Yum!I haven't heard of this but I think it's probably pretty easy to do at home. Since my fridge is exploding with fresh tomatoes anyways =)
Just briefly heating the toppings sounds like an awesome idea!
Whoa! I've never heard of this. It looks good!
I've never heard of salad pizza either... but now I want some! Damn you, BAzu!!
also, that heart in your title is rad!
I've never heard of that before but it looks awesome! Great way to use up the extra pizza dough in the fridge with something a little healthier.

I agree, salad pizza is most definitely a vegan pizza lover's dream!

They have salad pizza at California Pizza Kitchen, a chain restaurant across the USA. Delicious AND universal.
