Vegetarian pizza no longer means cheese pizza with vegetables. Chefs, especially ones at vegetarian and vegan restaurants, are pushing the boundaries on recipes by including such things as broccolini, kimchi, spinach, edible flowers, bee pollen, and macadamia ricotta (not all on the same pizza, yet).
The new gourmet styles of vegetarian pizza are delicious and good for you. Here are just a few of the scrumptious gourmet pizzas available in South Florida.
Ground Floor Farm, an urban farm in downtown Stuart, might be a bit of an unexpected for a place to buy gourmet, hand-crafted pizza. But their cafe has a pizza oven, and they have been honing their skills for the past two years in specialty pizzas that feature ingredients from their farm.
Some of their ingredients include a sourdough cultured crust, edible flowers, farm eggs, cultured cream, herbs, red wine vinegar, vegetables, and kimchi.
Their Flower Garden ($16) pizza includes herb pesto, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, greens, honey, red wine vinegar, bee pollen, pistachios, and edible flowers. Their surprisingly delicious PBK ($15) pizza includes peanut butter, kimchi, honey, scallions, and black sesame seeds.
A delicious surprise, vegetarian pizza can also be found at California Pizza Kitchen. It's called the California Veggie ($17.89) and it can be made with a cauliflower crust. It comes with broccolini, smoky eggplant slices, Cremini mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted corn, red onions, and mozzarella cheese.
Nombucket Vegan Foods located in vegan food cooperative kitchen in Lake Park puts out a mouth-watering pizza using vegan cheese. It contains onions, minced garlic, basil, spinach, artichokes, tomato paste, broccoli, olive oil and vegan cheese. A slice costs $6.
Christopher's Kitchen, a vegetarian/vegan restaurant in Palm Beach Gardens has some delectable hand crafted pizzas. The Biancoverde ($18.95), pictured above, contains macadamia ricotta, red onions, garlic, roasted cherry tomatoes, dates, thyme, oregano, fresh arugula and chili flakes.
I hope these gourmet pizzas have opened your mind (and wetted your appetite) to the possibilities in the vegetarian pizza scene of South Florida.
