Vegan Pizza... That Isn't Cheeseless at Porter Pizza • FOOD

Connor and I ordered two pizzas each... we ate both within 10 minutes.

Okay so as a vegan, one of the things I miss most is pizza. Let's not lie... pizza is probably one of the most simple yet genius creations when it comes to food. Whilst this dish is typically related back to the Italian foodies, this heavenly tasting dish can be originated back to the ancient times of cultures in the Middle East, where Babylonians, Israelites, Egyptians, Armenians, Greeks and Romans all ate flat bread cooked in mud ovens. Fast forward to 2016 and the idea of pizza evolving to suit vegans is still a very underground thing. More often then not when ordering pizza from a delivery service, I have to stress NO CHEESE. However... this may be the case no more...

One day when having a cheeky scroll down my Facebook homepage I happen to spot the most delicious looking vegan pizzas covered in cheese. Immediately I stop and rub my eyes to check I'm not dreaming and my eyes are fooling me. Sure enough, they are not. The pizza is vegan and still loaded with cheese. It just so happened that with an amazing bit of luck that these pizza's were from Sheffield, the very same place my boyfriend lives, who I happened to be visiting over the course of the next two weeks. So what did we order for Valentines Day... four pizzas. Yep. Four.

Porter Pizza were having a two for one Valentines deal for those wanting a cosy night in (exactly what we were after) you just had to share their tweet with the hashtags they provided. Simple. It just so happened that neither of us could decide on just one pizza we wanted, so we order one off the menu each and we each made our own one. Win, win. Now I won't be all coy and say that my eyes were bigger than my belly and I only ate two slices, heck no, I ate two pizzas and they were the best vegan pizzas I've ever had. I don't think there's that much more I can say on the subject, everyone knows how amazing pizza is so if you imagine your favourite pizza in the world, your mind is already drooling.

I chose to go for 'Maggie' with obviously vegan cheese, because margherita pizzas are actually one of my favourites and then I chose to have a Maggie topped with black olives, red and green peppers, artichoke hearts, oven roasted butternut squash and fresh basil. Both were delicious, I would hands down recommend my creation to anyone who loves a 'healthy' pizza. The stone baked base had that authentic Italian crust to it, with cheese that was melted to the point where it wasn't all stringy and pulling away from the pizza when you bit a bit off (I hate that) and the juicy vegetables created a tasty medley in your mouth of sensational flavour. It was all round the most perfect pizza I've had.
