How do you make dairy-free pizza?
There are plenty of dairy-free cheeses out there which is the main reason that your typical pizza is not dairy-free. This easy pizza recipe uses Trader Joe’s almond shreds which only contain 1% lactose, if you cannot have any lactose at all I would search for a vegan cheese like Violife!

Often times pizza is topped with mozzarella cheese, as I said above, this recipe uses cheese made with almond milk but there is 1% lactose in the cheese. Luckily there are a lot of vegan options out there and Violife cheese melts great!

It really depends if you are making it or ordering it out, the macros and calories will vary drastically! This homemade pizza is 260 calories for the entire pizza, but if you order out pizza one slice may be 260 calories!
Is there a healthy version of pizza?
All foods are healthy in moderation but if you make the pizza at home you may be able to make the macros a bit better, for example, fewer oils, and less cheese may mean fewer calories and more protein!
Is mozzarella OK for lactose intolerance?
It depends, mozzarella has a very small amount of lactose per serving so you may be okay with the small amount on a slice of cheese pizza, but this is something I would proceed with caution!
