The most delicious homemade Vegan Pesto Flatbread Pizza ever to impress your friends and family! Made with an oil-free spinach pea pesto, homemade vegan parmesan cheese, fresh basil, homemade easy flatbread and incredible flavor in every bite!
VEGAN PESTO FLATBREAD PIZZA OIL-FREE
Who’s ready for an impressive vegan dinner to wow your guests, friends and family that will have them saying restaurant-worthy with every bite?! Just like they love this Garlic Alfredo, they will love this Vegan Spinach Pesto Pizza will do just that. Both my daughter and I were moaning while eating these.
These vegan flatbread pizzas are made with my homemade vegan flatbread recipe, my spinach pea pesto and my lemon parmesan cheese. I had this amazing idea to combine all of these recipes and it turned out even more delicious than I imagined! It’s not traditional pesto, but it’s so good, you won’t even care!
Topped with red pepper flakes and fresh chiffonade basil and not only is it gorgeous, but it is mouthwatering and full of flavor!
There is a bit of prep work to make these vegan flatbread pizzas, but they can all be done at separate times and stored in the fridge until you are ready to assemble, which that part, comes together in minutes.
I would suggest making the flatbread the day of because it only takes a few minutes and it is the freshest, but it can be made a day in advance if needed.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED
- Easy Vegan Flatbread Recipe
- Vegan Spinach Pesto
- Vegan Lemon Parmesan Cheese
- Fresh basil
- Red pepper flakes
HOW TO MAKE VEGAN PESTO PIZZA
Step 1: First, make the vegan spinach pesto. Store in the fridge until ready to use. It will last 4-5 days in the fridge.
Step 2: Make the lemon parmesan cheese. This can be made many days in advance and will stay fresh in the fridge.
Step 3: Make the flatbreads, which I recommend the day of for the best fresh taste, but the day before is fine, too. Just make sure to seal them well, so they don’t dry out.
Step 4: Once you have all the components made, if using flatbread that is just made and is still warm, go ahead and warm up the pesto (if it’s in the fridge) either in the microwave or stove until heated through.
Step 5: Spread the pesto on the flatbread with an even generous layer.
Step 6: Top with lots of the vegan lemon parmesan cheese.
Step 7: Top with red pepper flakes and chiffonade basil.
NOTE: If wanting to heat up the whole pizzas instead of warming up the pesto first and melt cheese or something, then just spread the pesto on each flatbread and add whatever toppings and heat in the oven at 375°F for about 10 minutes. DO NOT add the parmesan cheese until after though or it will burn since it has already been cooked.

Made this recipe last night and it was to DIE for! I doubled the flatbread recipe thinking my family wouldn’t be full with just one pizza each! Well, after eating only half of my pizza and some salad, I was stuffed and even the teenage boy could barely finish just one. Our family made it with the spinach pesto, lemon Parmesan, fresh sliced veggies, and your mozzarella cheese sauce. Eating the leftovers tonight for dinner and we’re all so excited🙌🏼 My family has made pita pizzas in the past, and I expected these to be similar. But oh boy, that flat bread was way thicker and tastier! It was amazingly perfect!
This makes me so happy to hear Rae! I’m so happy you loved this so much!
Hi Brandi,
I made the pesto and the parmesan topping and put it on pasta. It was to die for! That parmesan really bumped it up a notch. My husband said I really outdid myself this time 🙂 I had to laugh and told him that I follow recipes really well.
I love your recipes!
Thanks,
Chris-
Woohoo, that is amazing Chris! Thanks so much for such an awesome review!!
I love this recipe! I made the flatbread, pesto and lemon cheese and we all really enjoyed it! Very easy and quick recipe. We enjoyed it along with your Lazy Tomato Bisque Soup.
Yay!!
Perfect recipe for workweek meal prep! Hit all the right notes! Thank you!
Thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed it!
Brandi the only way I can think to describe this recipe is LIFE CHANGING!!! The combination of fragrant delicious vegan pesto with easy homemade flat bread and vegan parmesan is INSANELY amazing!! How do you do it?!!!
Wow Heather! This made me so happy to hear, thank you for the amazing review! Haha, sometimes I get wild ideas that happen to turn out as delicious as they were in my mind-other times, not so much, lol! This one was a winner!
Made this last night and it was excellent. We did make all the components – the flatbread, the pesto and the lemon parmesan. They work really well together. And I’m excited to try the pesto sauce with the parmesan on some pasta. Will definitely make again.
