This Vegan Pizza Football Cheese Ball will be the hit of your Super Bowl party! It is easy to make, and sure to impress!
After making Stuffed Date Footballs last year, I got hooked on making football shaped food, and I am not even a football fan! I guess I just like playing with my food. Hehe.
This Vegan Pizza Football Cheese Ball is my third vegan cheese ball that I’ve made over the years. I’ve also made a Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Vegan Cheese Ball and a Vegan Jalapeño Havarti Cream Cheese Date Ball.
This recipe is really easy to make, and will definitely impress your guests!
For this cheese ball, I combined all my favorite pizza flavors: vegan Mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, green olives, red pepper flakes, basil, and oregano. It goes well with veggies, pretzels, and chips. I also ate it on a flatbread pizza crust recipe that I am working on.

This sounds so delicious and it’s very different from what people typically expect from a recipe like this. Most people are expecting a big pile of cream cheese and other cheeses but this one sounds so much more flavorful.

Super Bowl parties never have enough vegan food. I always feel like the vegan community gets left out of sports. This is a great cheese alternative!
Willow Moon says
I agree! I have been to parties where the only thing I can eat is veggies and chips, and some hummus IF I am lucky!
