Vegan Pizza

I was a wee bit wary of making a vegan pizza, but I finally decided to try and boy was it a success!! I haven't had pizza in a long time and to be honest, back when I could have pizza I didn't really like it.  But this pizza was great - fresh and nongreasy!  YUMMY! I basically ate most of it by myself - mom had a couple pieces. I'll take a picture the next time I make it.

Ingredients:
Pizza crust.  (I bought Freschetta crust from Winco)
Pizza sauce.  (I bought the homemade Winco sauce)
Toppings: peppers, onions, meat (I used the soy faux ham), pineapple, mushrooms, etc
Unparmesan

Directions:
Preheat oven. (Just follow the directions on the package). Spread sauce on crust and top with toppings.  IMPORTANT: Put the toppings on first - BEFORE the unparmesan. If you don't, the juice in the sauce will make it goopy, pasty, and yucky. Same thing goes for veggies/fruit that have a high juice content.  This is what I did to try and avoid pasty fake cheese: Put on all toppings (minus unparmesan) and bake the pizza for approximately half the total baking time.  Then pull the pizza out, sprinkle on a generous amount of unparmesan and return to the oven for the remainder of the baking time.  This worked great! I was able to use pineapple and not worry about the juice content. And the cheese wasn't pasty at all! Please make this! It was sooooo good! I'm basically planning on having a pizza night once a week!
