Most vegan pizza content focuses on restriction instead of flavor. It lists what you can't have instead of what actually works. At Amici's, you'll find vegan menu options in pizzas and Italian cuisine that focus on balance and texture, not compromise. With Daiya vegan cheese, plant-based toppings, and naturally vegan cold-fermented dough, the focus stays on flavor first.
In this blog, we'll discuss the best vegan menu choices, creative topping combinations, ordering tips, and how you can order vegan pizza from Amici’s.
What to Look for in Vegan Pizza and Italian Cuisine
A great vegan pizza comes down to a few non-negotiables: vegan cheese that melts well, toppings that add flavor without excess moisture, and a crust that holds everything together.
Our dough is naturally vegan and cold-fermented for texture and flavor, which means you're not starting with a weaker foundation. The pizza flavor pairings still matter, and the pizza toppings still need to work together.
Get these basics right, and vegan pizza stops feeling like an alternative. It just feels like good pizza.
Top Vegan Pizza Options at Amici's
Here are the clearest vegan-friendly pizza choices on our menu.
Veggie
This is the most straightforward Detroit-style pizza option. It includes mushrooms, roasted red bell peppers, banana peppers, caramelized onions, and black olives, with Daiya vegan cheese available as an option. The mix of vegetables and cheese brings texture and brightness, making it a reliable, ready-to-order pizza.
Asanté-Style Vegan Option
Available at some Amici locations (except the cloud kitchen locations), this New York-style pie includes Daiya vegan cheese, baby spinach, broccoli, red onions, tomatoes, and fresh basil, with no tomato sauce. It leans heavily on greens and works well if you want something slightly more layered without losing balance.
At the cloud kitchen locations, there’s an Asanté substitute, the “Vegan Pie”, which has Daiya vegan cheese, baby spinach, roasted red peppers, red onions, tomatoes, fresh basil, and no tomato sauce.
Both options keep things simple, structured, and actually satisfying. Not just “vegan for the sake of it.” Check your location-specific menu before ordering because availability can vary.
Vegan-Friendly Build-Your-Own Pizza Ideas
You can build your own pizza using verified toppings from our menu. Here are some smart, vegan pizza topping combinations:
Spinach + roasted red peppers + red onions + Daiya: Bright, fresh, and layered
Mushrooms + caramelized onions + slow-roasted garlic: Savory and earthy
Broccoli + tomatoes + fresh basil + Daiya: Simple but structured
These combinations work because they use what’s already on the menu, just paired more intentionally. Start here, and you’ll get a custom vegan pizza that actually feels thought-through, not thrown together.
Vegan Sides and Simple Add-Ons
A good vegan pizza order gets better with the right sides. The goal is to add balance without overcomplicating the meal.
Here are the vegan-friendly sides that work well:
Pan-Roasted Broccoli (garlic, hot pepper flakes, fresh lemon juice): Bright, slightly spicy, and a strong vegetable side that cuts through richer flavors
Garden Salad: A simple, fresh option that pairs easily with any pizza
Linguine with Marinara: A reliable plant-based pasta that makes the meal more filling
Warm Housemade Bread Loaf (request no butter): Easy to share and a good addition for groups
A couple of well-chosen sides are usually all it takes to turn a vegan pizza order into a complete, satisfying meal.
