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.

Vegan White Pizza Sauce is in a clear ringed creamer glass container. Sitting on a brown beaded wooden mat. A hern chopper and more sauce is in the background.


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.

Vegan Veggie White Pizza is a great way to change up regular tomato pizzas. Dough recipe is included or buy your own. Pile up the veggies.

What are some other ways to use Vegan White Pizza Sauce?

It is perfect as a sandwich spread. I've used it on bean burgers and also on roasted veggie hoagies.

You know when you have crispy tofu? Well, this is delicious to use for some dunking.

Mash a little bit in the potatoes for your roasted potato skins.

Spread it on flatbread, add a few veggies, roll it up and take a bite.

Mix a little Za'atar in white pizza sauce to use with your french fries.

Last but not least, you can also use it as a dip and dunk vegetables to your hearts' content. Let me know if you find another delicious way to use this sauce. I don't want to miss out!

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.

Pizza Anyone?
Antipasto Pizza
Antipasto Pizza is yet another way to enjoy an all-time favorite. Five toppings contrast perfectly – from the mild chickpea to the rich sun-dried tomato.

  1. Ginny McMeans

    Yes Myrna, that would work.

  2. Myrna

    Can you use almond flour instead or another grain free flour?

  3. Ginny McMeans

    You could use any nut you'd like but the flavor would change a bit according to the nut Emily. The sauce also won't be as smooth as cashews because they 'disappear' completely when processed and become a smooth sauce.

  4. Emily

    Is there a substitute for the cashews?

  5. HB

    Thanks 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!

  6. Ginny McMeans

    Yes, definitely AnnMarie.

  7. AnnMarie

    Could you use soy milk instead of almond milk?

  8. Siena

    This is the best sauce ever! We put it on everything and use it as a dip too!

  9. Ginny McMeans

    I would say up to 5 days Christine.

  10. Christine

    How long would you say this lasts in the fridge ?

  11. Ginny McMeans

    That sounds fantastic Rosie. I love this sauce!

  12. Rosie Hutchins

    I use this sauce as the ricotta layer in my vegan lazagna. Yummy!

  13. Ginny McMeans

    It does add flavor but you can taste at the end and make your own decision Mel.

  14. mel

    Do we have to use the yeast? Would the recipe work w/out it? Thank you, it looks & sounds delicious.

  15. Ginny McMeans

    That is great Nicole. I use it all the time too 🙂 Thanks for letting me know!

  16. Nicole Callen

    We love it! Found that we enjoy it with a little more garlic, nutritional yeast and lemon juice as the nuts are so sweet. Thank you for the recipe that will be one of our favorites on just about everything.

  17. Ginny McMeans

    Yes, you can! It would be a bit more tangy than the original but deliious.

  18. Catherine

    Could you use this as a replacement for white sauce in a lasagne?

  19. Ginny McMeans

    Thanks Sharon - I fixed it. There is not cooking. Yes, you suggested some wonderful ways in which to use this versatile sauce. As a dip would be really great!

  20. Sharon

    Do you cook this sauce? No mention of bringing it to simmer, but your freezer instructions says to cool to room temperature . Did I miss something? I've got it blended smooth and it tastes wonderful. I assume if you use it on pizza or top lasagna it would all cook together. But what about veggie dip?

  21. Ginny McMeans

    It is 2 cups Sarah. That sounds delicious. May come over for dinner? 🙂

  22. Sarah

    I was wondering how many cups it came to once finished. I want to use it for my spinach and artichoke lasagna instead of marinara!

  23. Ginny McMeans

    That is fantastic Laura! Love the idea of using it in a potato salad. I am doing that next. Thanks for the good news!

  24. Laura

    Everyone should!! and great news - it also doubled up as a potato salad "cream" sauce!! it was delish! my lactose-intolerant friend really enjoyed it as she hadn't eaten a potato salad in years!!

  25. Ginny McMeans

    Fantastic Laura! So glad you made it and loved it. I have to admit I love it too and hope everybody makes it! 🙂

  26. Laura

    I made this last week - it's amazing! My first vegan pizza attempt with your pizza sauce, bbq sauce, peppers and onions - it was the best! I will definitely be making this more often. Thanks for sharing!! 🙂

  27. Ginny McMeans
