This vegan gluten free Thai Pizza has the the flavors of Thai spring rolls on a crispy pizza crust. The peanut sauce is out of this world good!
Heavenly Sauce
I could eat sweet and spicy peanut sauce on anything and everything. It truly is the condiment of the Gods.
When I can find new ways to eat it, I do. So I thought, why not make a Thai Pizza recipe with peanut sauce. What a great idea, indeed!
Besides eating peanut sauce with Vegetable Spring Rolls, I have made it into a thicker sauce for Thai Pinwheels.
Both of those recipes have a different peanut sauce than the one that I made for this recipe. I like to change things up, and create new versions of my favorite condiment.
If you were to ask me to choose one food that I that I could bring on a deserted island, it would be this vegan Thai Pizza.
First of all, I could practically drink the sauce. Second, I love ginger garlic flavored tofu. Third, pizza, need I say more?
Thankfully, I get to continue eating however I please. Since I am a foodie consuming only one food would be painful for me, even if it has my favorite sauce on it.
This Thai Pizza recipe has all the components of vegetable spring rolls: red pepper, carrots, and cilantro. Add some ginger garlic tofu, a pizza crust, and voilà; Thai Pizza is born.
This could be eaten hot or cold. I remember days of eating cold pizza for breakfast. I have not done that in years, but this could work for that. I personally liked it hot better.

Thai Pizza Recipe
This vegan pizza with Thai flavors will become a family favorite. The sauce can also be used as a dressing for a salad, which I did on my Thai Salad with Peanut Dressing.

Here's the pizza mix I used to make this pizza. It's great because you don't have to wait for it to rise.
Thai Pizza
Ingredients
Peanut sauce
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup light coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon low sodium gluten free tamari
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons minced ginger
- 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
Ginger Garlic Tofu
- 2 teaspoons minced ginger
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon low sodium gluten free tamari
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil + a little more for cooking
- 14 oz. firm tofu
Pizza - for a 9" pizza
- gluten free mix or dough - I used Namaste
- 2 tablespoons peanut sauce + more for drizzling on top
- 4 tablespoons crumbled ginger garlic tofu
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped carrots
- 3 tablespoons chopped red pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°.
- Peanut sauce: Mix all peanut sauce ingredients in a high speed blender or NutriBullet until garlic and ginger are well blended. If you don't have either, then make sure garlic and ginger are very finely minced before blending. Refrigerate for at least an hour so that sauce thickens.
- Ginger Garlic Tofu: Combine minced ginger and garlic with tamari, and sesame oil.
- Press tofu with a tofu press or wrapped in a towel with a heavy object on top of tofu for at least 15 minutes to get water out.
- Slice tofu and put in marinade. Marinate overnight for the strongest flavor, or if you're in a hurry, marinate for at less an hour.
- Cook in sesame oil until golden brown, then flip and cook other side until golden brown.
- Mix /cook pizza dough according to directions.
- Pizza: Layer peanut sauce, tofu, carrots, and red pepper on pizza. Cook pizza at 450° for 10 minutes more.* Drizzle more peanut sauce, if desired. Sprinkle cilantro on top, slice, and serve.

This is a family favorite! We all LOVE the peanut sauce. We put in on salad too. My kids eat more veggies because of it. Thank you so much for this great recipe!
Willow Moon says
I'm so glad that you and your family like it!
Kim says
That sauce is amazing! I could eat it daily!
Jeanmarie says
Is all of the sesame oil used the toasted kind, or do some parts use toasted & others regular sesame oil? I def want to try this!
Willow Moon says
Thanks for catching that Jeanmarie, I just updated the recipe! I used toasted for the whole recipe.
Smita Sankaran Warrier says
Can the peanut sauce be stored in the fridge for a few days? This recipe makes one cup, you are not using it all at once, correct?
Willow Moon says
That's correct. Yes, you'll want to store it inn the fridge.
Jade says
Can you use Almond butter rather than peanut butter if you can’t have peanuts?
Willow Moon says
Yes
Laura says
This recipe is fabulous, and I really enjoyed making and eating it last night. Your nutrition facts are quite confusing, however. This certainly serves more than one person. It contains tofu and peanuts, so there's no way that it has only zero grams of protein or only 6 grams of carbohydrates. Would you mind clarifying the correct proportions? At least a closer estimate would help. Thank you!
Willow Moon says
Thanks for pointing it out Laura! The nutrition info is not calculated manually, so mistakes are sometimes overlooked. I changed it so that it reflects approximate info for a whole pizza, including the tofu and peanut sauce listed.

This is my favorite pizza after going vegan.
The sataya sauce is amazing and the combination of sweet, spizy, salty makes the perfekt combination.
