Mini Freezer Friendly Vegan Pizzas
These mini frozen pizzas are one of my favorite meal prep recipes because they make busy days so much easier. They’re made with a simple homemade dough, your favorite pizza toppings, and can be baked right away or stored in the freezer for quick lunches and easy dinners later on.
They’re soft and chewy with golden edges, and because they’re individually sized, everyone can customize their own. Whether you’re stocking your freezer for the week or looking for a fun weekend cooking project, these homemade vegan mini pizzas are a great alternative to store-bought frozen pizzas.
The best part is that you can make several different topping combinations in one batch, so there’s always something for everyone.
Ingredients for mini vegan pizzas
Active dry yeast – Helps the dough rise and creates a soft, fluffy crust.
Warm water – Activates the yeast and helps bring the dough together.
Sugar – Feeds the yeast and helps it bloom properly.
All-purpose flour – Creates a chewy, sturdy pizza crust that’s easy to shape.
Salt – Adds flavor and balances the dough.
Olive oil – Adds richness and helps keep the crust tender.
Pizza sauce – Gives the pizzas their classic flavor and helps keep them moist.
Vegan cheese – Adds creaminess and that familiar cheesy pizza texture.
Toppings of choice – Customize each pizza with your favorite vegetables, vegan meats, or seasonings.
How to make mini vegan pizzas
These pizzas come together quickly and are perfect for meal prep.
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes until foamy and bubbly.
Add the flour, salt, olive oil, and yeast mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer.
Mix until the dough starts to come together and pull away from the sides of the bowl.
Using the dough hook attachment, knead the dough for 5 minutes.
Transfer the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
Using your fingers, gently press each dough ball into a small pizza shape.
Spread a layer of pizza sauce over each pizza.
Top with vegan cheese and any toppings you like.
If freezing, place the assembled pizzas on a parchment-lined baking sheet and transfer them to the freezer until completely solid.
Once frozen, place the pizzas in a zip-top freezer bag or airtight container.
If baking immediately, bake at 400°F for about 15 minutes or until the crust is lightly golden and the toppings are hot.
Tips for making mini vegan pizzas
A few simple tips will help these turn out even better.
Let the yeast bloom fully – The mixture should look foamy before adding it to the flour. This ensures the dough rises properly.
Don’t overload the toppings – Too many toppings can make the pizzas heavy and prevent the crust from baking evenly.
Freeze before storing – Freezing the pizzas individually first keeps them from sticking together in the freezer.
Make different varieties – Create several topping combinations so everyone has options ready to go.
Use parchment paper – It makes shaping, freezing, and cleanup much easier.
How to store mini vegan pizzas
Store frozen mini pizzas in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container for up to 3 months.
When ready to eat, bake directly from frozen at 400°F, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if needed.
If you have leftover baked pizzas, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer until warmed through.
