What might not be so obvious is that cheese isn’t necessary to make a tasty pizza. Some people might have to avoid cheese for reasons such as veganism, lactose intolerance, or a simple aversion to its taste.

Luckily, there are ways to enjoy this classic food without even a bit of cheese.

One way to easily avoid cheese is to skip the tomato sauce and instead use a savory garlic and olive oil base as the cornerstone of your pizza. On top of this, it’s possible to use a wide variety of vegetables, both raw and sauteed, to give your pizza its finishing touch.

If you like the tomato sauce on a traditional pizza but you either can’t or prefer not to eat cheese? There’s no need to fret, because it’s easy to creatively design pies with tomato sauce but without cheese.

Adding pesto to a tomato base is a surefire way to add richness and flavor to a cheeseless pizza. 

You can also try cheese substitutes as a way to add the creamy, savory texture of the real thing to pizza. Cashew cheese is a vegan cheese alternative that uses the cashew nut as its base. Many recipes exist, and it’s just as good, if not better, than the real thing.

Don’t let cheese be an impediment to enjoying a flavorful pie, because it’s certainly possible to do so with just a little bit of ingenuity in your kitchen.

With salty, tangy prosciutto and grilled pineapple, this new version is an all-around winner.

Ingredients

•  28-ounce can pineapple rings, well-drained
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 prebaked pizza crust or large oval flatbread (minimum 12 inches long)
• ½ cup marinara sauce
• 6 ounces prosciutto
• ½ red onion, thinly- sliced
• 2 cups grated aged Gouda cheese
• 2 cups baby arugula

Method

Prepare a grill pan or grill for cooking at high heat. Pat the pineapple rings with paper. Brush them on both sides with olive oil and grill until charred (about 3 minutes each side).

Preheat the oven to 500° Fahrenheit. Place the crust or flatbread on a baking sheet and spread the marinara sauce on the surface evenly. Add slices of prosciutto, red onion, Gouda and grilled pineapple.

Bake the pizza until the cheese has melted and the sauce is bubbly (8 to 10 minutes). Sprinkle with the baby arugula, slice and serve immediately.
