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 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 pizza 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.

- 1 tablespoon low sodium gluten free tamari
- 1 clove garlic minced

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.

Hello,
I just wanted to tell you how much we love this pizza. I have two daughters one is vegan and the other vegetarian so I have my work cut out for searching for different meals that make everyone happy. This one is perfect, we have made for guests and they asked for recipe and they made it that same week. Thanks it’s amazing!
Willow Moon says
Thanks Patricia! I am so that glad everyone liked it! It is one of my favorite recipes – especially the sauce!
Leah says
Today is the second time that I’m making this recipe and I just taste tested the sauce and almost didn’t leave any for the pizza 😀 It taste soo amazing! I love peanut flavoured everything!
I did leave out the coconut sugar in the sauce this time because it is already sweet enough by itself. Is there any other reason why I should add it? 🙂
Thank you for this amazing recipe!!
Willow Moon says
Thanks Leah! The coconut sugar is to add a sweet flavor, so you can leave it out if you find it sweet enough without it.
Ana 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.
