Vegan Mummy Pizza
Easy Vegan Mummy Pizzas make a fun and festive recipe for spooky season! This Halloween, enjoy making your own french bread mummy pizzas with simple vegan ingredients.
I love a fun take on pizza so when I saw different ways to make mummy pizzas on Pinterest for the spooky season I knew I would be finding out if it too can be made dairy-free.
When I began converting the recipe for a mummy pizza into a dairy-free and vegan alternative the number one obstacle I encountered was replacing the string cheese to mimic the wraps of a mummy.
The grocery stores nearby didn’t have blocks of dairy-free cheese or even slices of white dairy-free cheese so I opted to use shredded vegan mozzarella to get the white striped look of a mummy.
While they may not be a perfect replica of the dairy-filled versions, my children throughly enjoyed making and eating them and I hope you do too!

Helpful Kitchen Tools
