Boston Pizza is a Canadian pizza franchise that is neither from Boston or makes Boston style pizza. Interestingly enough though Boston Pizza is actually the most profitable franchise that you can own in Canada. Yes, even more profitable than a Tim Hortons!
How-To Make
Making your own vegan pizza at home can seem like a daunting task but I assure you that it's not difficult and it is totally worth the effort. You won't be able to make get a quality pizza like this in Boston Pizza and you don't need any special tools or equipment (although if you do have them it's a bonus). All we have is a knife, our oven, and a cast-iron skillet.
Ingredients
- Pizza Dough ($0.72) For the dough, we generally make our own vegan pizza dough recipe which is super simple and easy to make but sometimes we really just don't feel like baking. You can easily sub in the pizza dough for store-bought (we buy ours from DeLuccas in Winnipeg) it just needs to be able to make a 12-inch pizza.
- Vegan Sour Cream ($1.96) We used the Tofutti brand, it's got a firmer texture than other vegan sour creams on the market and isn't as liquidy. You can use whichever vegan sour cream brand is your favorite though!
- Vegan Mozzarella ($6.98) Vegan cheese is always hotly debated and for the most part, it sucks and doesn't melt well. The best cheese we've found that melts well is Myokos Mozzarella. Pro-tip: freeze the cheese before grating it onto the pizza. You could save some money by choosing a different vegan cheese other than Myokos which is the priciest here in Canada but we find that it yields the best results so it's worth the price.
- Russett Potatoes ($0.89)
- Vegan Bacon Bits ($0.02) Fun fact the original bacon bits are vegan and are made out of textured vegetable protein or TVP. They’re also shelf-stable and last a long time!
- Green Onions ($0.11) We love topping all of our meals with green onions so we always have some in the fridge, they’re cheap and you don’t need very much to add a ton of flavor to any recipe
Total for one 12-inch pizza = $10.68
Kitchen Equipment I used for recipe:
- Cast Iron Skillet Set (10 & 12 in) - I use my 12-inch cast-iron skillet almost daily for so many recipes but especially for my vegan pizzas. Pizza stones work great as well but I love the versatility of the cast-iron skillet.
- Pizza Cutter - this is a great tool to cut pizzas. A large knife easily does the trick as well but that's not as fun!
- Outdoor Pizza Oven - I wish I owned one of these outdoor pizza ovens myself but I don't currently have the backyard set-up, I do however have friends that have it and I've seen it in action and it is seriously cool! If you have some money to splurge then I highly recommend this product!
Instructions
Pizza Dough
- If you're using pre-packaged dough, prepare the dough according to the package.
- If you're following our vegan pizza dough recipe prepare the dough, and roll it out to fit your stone or skillet.
Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. While your oven preheats, scrub and peel your potatoes. Thinly slice them, with a knife or mandolin, and add them to a large mixing bowl. Toss with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, and salt, until well combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Evenly spread the potatoes onto the baking sheet (some overlap is okay) and bake for 15 minutes or until the potatoes just begin to crisp on the edges and become tender. Be careful not to overcook at this stage though!
- Once cooked remove from the oven and set aside while you prepare the rest of the pizza.
Perogy Pizza
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease your cast-iron skillet. Place your rolled dough in the skillet. To prevent the dough from bubbling, press your knuckles into the dough creating some minor dents.
- Spread the vegan sour cream evenly on top of the dough leaving a half-inch gap around the edge for the crust. Layer the sliced potatoes evenly around the dough. Then spread the cheese on top and top the cheese with vegan bacon bits.
- Bake the pizza in the oven for 25 minutes.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and add chopped green onions, a dollop of vegan sour cream, and vegan parm to the top.
- Slice and serve hot & fresh!

Frequently Asked Questions
Storing vegan pizza is easy. I usually wait for the pizza to cool completely and once it has I put it into an airtight container and put it in the fridge to eat the next day. Ziploc bags also work well for one or two slices to pack for lunch but we try and reduce the amount of plastic we use.
The best way to reheat vegan pizza is a long-contested and highly debated topic, with many people having their own personal favorites. Here are some of the most popular and effective ways to reheat your vegan pizza:
Frying pan: on medium heat add your leftover vegan pizza and a bit of water and cover with a lid. The steam will heat the top and the frying pan will keep the bottom crispy.
Oven/Toaster-Oven: Baking the leftover vegan pizza at 350 degrees for a couple of minutes will ensure that it remains crisp and doesn't get soggy.
Air Fryer: This may come as a surprise to some people but when I asked this question on Twitter Air Fryer was the most popular response! Place in the air fryer basket at 390 degrees for a few minutes for best results!
Cold: This one goes without saying but cold leftover pizza is delicious especially when you're hungover
