Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, gluten-free option if desired)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Toppings

  • 1 cup tuna chunks (fresh or canned in water)
  • 3 tablespoons buffalo sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cheese
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup celery, chopped small

Garnishes

  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface until it reaches your desired thickness. Brush the dough lightly with olive oil to ensure a golden and crispy crust after baking.
  2. Mix the Buffalo Tuna Topping: In a bowl, combine tuna chunks with buffalo sauce (natural) and a splash of vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until the tuna is evenly coated with a spicy and flavorful glaze.
  3. Assemble the Pizza: Spread the buffalo tuna mixture evenly over the prepared dough. Sprinkle the thinly sliced red onions, chopped celery, and plant-based cheese generously on top for balanced flavor and texture.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the pizza in a preheated oven at 475°F (245°C) and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven, sprinkle fresh parsley or cilantro on top, slice, and serve warm to enjoy the rich and spicy flavors in every bite.

Notes

  • Use fresh or high-quality canned tuna for the best texture and taste.
  • Do not overload the pizza with too much sauce or cheese to keep the crust crisp.
  • Preheat your oven fully for optimal crust crispiness.
  • Keep celery and red onions chilled before topping to maintain their crunch after baking.
  • Adjust buffalo sauce (natural) amount to customize heat level, serve extra on the side if desired.
