Vegan White Pizza Sauce is a tangy garlicky recipe that makes the most flavorful base to a pizza. It will meet all of your culinary needs.
Is there anyone who doesn’t like pizza? I mean, it is so versatile. I’ll admit I didn’t try pizza until I was 15 years old but I think I’ve made up for it in all the years after that.
One of my missions is to come up with ten very different recipes for vegan pizza. Maybe even more. That’s how much I like it.
There are two links posted with pictures down below this recipe so you might want to check them out too.
Pizza is fun to make and fun to eat. It’s kind of a creative outlet to have your crust/dough all laid out as you start to add layers. Anything that comes to mind.
Just about everything works and the combinations seem endless.
My next pizza is starting with a white pizza sauce that is packed full of flavor. That is this recipe that I am posting here. The sauce starts with cashews and ends with chopped fresh herbs.

Can You Freeze White Pizza Sauce?
- A resounding Yes!
- IF FREEZING:
- Package in rigid sided containers as defined in my article Preparing Food for the Freezer 1/2 cup freezer jars would be ideal.
- You can take out one or two jars to defrost when pizza night is approaching.
- TO PREPARE AFTER FREEZING:
- Remove from the freezer and put in the refrigerator overnight because it is a pretty solid mass and will take longer to defrost.
- Ready to use when defrosted. This is also a great vegetable dip.

January 28, 2019 at 4:39 pmThanks for sharing this recipe, it really is a very versatile sauce. I spread it on pita to make vegan pizzas and the next day I used the left-over sauce to make a vegan Mac n cheese….just mixed it with macaroni and butternut squash, topped with Panko and baked it in the oven at 350F for 20-25 mins. As the sauce thickened in the fridge overnight, I used some reserved pasta water to thin it out for the Mac n cheese. Delicious sauce, will definitely be making again!
