Say aloha to your new favorite pizza night recipe! This Vegan Hawaiian BBQ Pizza is loaded with sweet and smoky flavor featuring tender vegan chicken (or protein-packed chickpeas), juicy pineapple, red onion, and plenty of tangy Hawaiian BBQ sauce. It’s a fun, fresh twist on classic Hawaiian pizza that’s completely dairy-free, oil-free, and bursting with vibrant plant-based goodness in every bite.
Vegan Hawaiian BBQ Pizza is the most delicious pizza that is so easy to make! This vegan pizza recipe is cheese-less, but you can add vegan cheese, like Violife Mozzarella Shreds if you want to. I love cheese-less pizzas just as much as cheesy pizzas, but maybe that’s just me. The BBQ sauce, pineapple, red onion, and cilantro makes this a super flavorful pizza that everyone will love, with or without cheese!
Why You Will Love This Vegan Pizza

In my pizza opinion, the perfect crust is not to thin, but thin enough to give you a good crunch. To make the crust bake to crunch perfection, use a pizza baking sheet with holes in the bottom, this allows the whole crust to get crispy.
If you want to add vegan cheese to this plant based pizza, I suggest Miyoko’s Pourable Mozzarella or Violife Mozzarella Shreds
The vegan chicken that I like best is the Tofurky Brand or this one. Both have a great meaty texture and absorb flavors from the BBQ sauce well. Speaking of BBQ sauce, have you tried this pineapple BBQ sauce yet? It is so good that I want to put it on everything.
