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.

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 ½ 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.

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!
Emily
Is there a substitute for the cashews?
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.
Myrna
Can you use almond flour instead or another grain free flour?
Ginny McMeans
Yes Myrna, that would work.
Ellie
What kind of flour do you use?
Ginny McMeans
Just an all-purpose flour but any can be used Ellie.
Jude Ahmad
What is the recommended nutritional yeast? Is different from the everyday dry yeast?
thanks.
Ginny McMeans
Yes, it is completely different from dry yeast Jude. It is added for flavor and extra nutrition. The one that is easiest to find in the grocery stores is Bragg's (in the spice section in a large jar near the bottom) or Bob's Red Mill (in their separate section with their flours etc.).
Melissa
Can you replace all or some of the cashews with coconut cream? Also can you use oat milk in place of almond milk? Just curious. Thanks so much!!

We tried this recipe today for our child's first pizza birthday party. They have a severe cow milk allergy and I have a tomato allergy. This white sauce is AMAZING!!! We truly loved it and I made 2 batches to have leftovers to freeze as suggested!
