A spiralized sweet potato crust veggie pizza that redefines the definition of veggie pizza! A filling and nutritious healthy pizza that is all vegetable, making it gluten-free, vegan, paleo, grain-free and a perfect twist on the traditional pizza night pie!
I told you last week that I had more to share! So I’m officially declaring May, not only Celiac Awareness Month, but also PIZZA Month! You should smile; it’s a good thing! I also think it’s a mighty fine way to beckon late spring and summer to us. Pizza is surely not seasonal. You can make a seasonal pie, but let’s be honest. There is never ever a bad time to bake up a pie!
This veggie pizza was long overdue for sharing here on the blog. I believe it’s from last summer, so we’ve come full circle! It’s a little sad that I’ve let this one slip for so long. We need to spiralize more! Confession time: I don’t use my spiralizer much. Maybe once every few months? I know…shame.
It’s even in a very easily accessible place (unlike my slow cooker), right in a bottom cabinet with where extra food, protein powders, my falling apart toaster oven, and rice cooker live. But it sadly stays there (crying in the darkness!) Using it for pizza is one of the best ways to show it some love though. If I was a spiralizer, I’d want to be used to make pizza! This is one awesome pizza to boot! It may just be making the cassava crust jealous!
You know what my favorite thing about this spiralized pizza is? Single-serve! Why of course! I know some people find it hard to call any pizza anything but “single-serve” 😉 I know the “pie love” can run pretty deep at times! Did you know there are actually some people who don’t like pizza!? I know it sounds crazy, but it’s true. I recall this one lone child I went to school with, who said he hated pizza :O That’s pretty attuned with hating chocolate. A life without pizza is like a life without bagels (but worse!)
But there’s no pizza-haters here…right? Okay good, I’m glad we can all be friends. I understand some people having strong topping preferences, but hating the entire pizza culture? Unimaginable! That kid must have had some sad birthday parties…haha! And isn’t pizza such a typical college food? What must he be eating? I have one more mind blowing tidbit about this though that will blow your pizza-loving mind further.
His parents owned one of the most popular pizza places in our town :O I know! That kid hated pizza and grew-up in a PIZZA family…the definition of a pizza family! I don’t know how that happens. He was always pretty proud of his pizza-hating and never minded the stares he would get as he so boisterously told his preferences. You know what this means though? More pizza for us! The pizza-loving people of the world!

Now, this pizza is obviously more “fork-friendly” than, slice and eat with you hands. But if you want to get messy..use your hands 😉 I’m sure you know that’s what I do! I fully embrace the pizza culture in every way I possibly can!
**I get asked all the time, so THIS is the spiralizer you want to buy if you still don’t have one!**
So tell me:
+ Do you know any pizza-haters?
+ How often do you use your spiralizer?

I can’t imagine not liking pizza. Pizza is almost a staple at our house. My kids like meat and like vegetarian, but I’ve never had one completely made out of veggies. This will give me an excuse for putting my spiralizer to use.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Haha, well here you go!
Anya says
Never had radishes on my pizza before but this sounds delicious! Love the spiralized sweet potatoes as crust – what a brilliant idea!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Thank you!
Silly Mummy says
Would never have thought of this but it sounds really nice & much healthier!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I hope you give ti a try then!
Teffy Perk says
That looks absolutely delicious!
I actually have a spiralizer at home, but I keep forgetting to use it so it’s starting to collect dust – this is the kind of dish that makes me want to get that baby out! X
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Haha, right? I feel you on the neglect!
kimmythevegan says
“PIZZA Month!” YES!!!!! Every month should be pizza month! Pizza is my very favourite food and I love the creative way you made the crust. I sadly haven’t used my spiralizer in over a year. yikes! I need to get it out, dust it off and show it some love.
I’m pinning & sharing. Have a great week!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
No shame! My really is neglected most of the time 😛
Nikki Frank-Hamilton says
Your imagination and flavor combinations amaze me! I never know what I’m going to find when I stop by! What a great idea to skip the traditional crust altogether!
I love pizza, but now that I’m gluten free it’s even more of a treat! So I really love this idea.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
This one, you will love!
Deborah Davis says
I’m loving this tasty, healthy creative spin on pizza! I can’t wait to try this in my own kitchen.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I bet! Thanks!
Rachel O. says
Hmm, this is something I haven’t thought of doing before! Pinned!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I hope you can give it a try soon! xo
Dee says
Yet another reason why I need to get a spiralizer — It looks wonderful!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Haha, get one, get one!
Erin says
Looks like a great recipe to try my spirilizer for something other than zucchini
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Yes it is!
Bianca - ElephantasticVegan says
Ohhh, I haven’t used my spiralizer for months and I feel terrible about it. I always buy so many kitchen gadgets and only use it 1-2 times. Same with the pasta attachment for the kitchen aid. I’m totally motivated to make some when I’m out, but when I’m at home I don’t feel like it. Anyways, I love this spiralized sweet potato pizza! This is so genius! And I love the layer of nooch on top. YUMM.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Hahahaha! I feel you…speaking of the Kitchen Aid…I haven’t used mine in months :/ I feel REALLY bad about that one! Some with my dehydrator!
Kathleen - Bloggers Lifestyle says
That pizza looks so very delicious. Really gluten free eating is the best, we don’t need to feel hard done by at all.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Thanks, but what?
Kim Seghers (This Ole Mom) says
Looks great Rebecca! Your recipes are always pretty and delicious looking. Your pizza looks yummy. I never thought about spiralizing sweet potatoes. I’m pinning this recipe.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Thanks! I hope you give it a try!

I am vegan and love pizza so I’m always looking for some new ways to get my pizza fix. Can’t wait to try!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Fantastic! You will love this, Rosemond!
Molly Kumar says
We love sweet potatoes at home and this will be such a hit at my place 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
O, yes it will!
Nicole @ The Professional Mom Project says
Great idea! I love my spiralizer and pizza so getting to add the two together sounds awesome. Pinning to try soon!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
It’s always a good idea to combine the 2 😉 Thanks Nicole!
Life Diet Health says
Ooo 🙂 We usually spiralise carrots, potatoes, beetroot, courgettes and apples… I don’t think we’ve ever tried a sweet potato! If we had any I’d try it right now! 🙂 Sprouts on pizza surprised me – but then roasted sprouts are good so why not! As for your pizza hater – maybe he was only ever fed pizza… pizza for breakfast, pizza for lunch, pizza for snack, pizza for dinner?
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
But would that be a bad thing 😉 I say pizza 24/7!
Life Diet Health says
No, especially not when you could have fruit pizza for breakfast, cauliflower pizza for lunch, chick pea pizzas for snack and your sweet potato pizza for dinner! 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Exactly 😉 You know what’s up!!
Marla says
HI Rebecca,
Wow this sounds so tasty and healthy. I love sweet potatoes and never thought about specializing them. Pinned & tweeted !
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I know you would love it Marla!
Annmarie says

What a fun way of making pizza, this is a great way to get my children involved!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
That would be fun!
Lisa @ Fun Money Mom says
You had me at sweet potatoes…I absolutely love them! I’ve never used them in a pizza recipe though! This is such a creative idea and I’ll definitely have to try it sometime soon!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Yes you will!
Linda @ Veganosity says
I love everything about this pizza. The sweet potato, the spiralizer, it’s pizza…..
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Got that right!

Fantastic! Enjoy!
Kelly says
I love my spiralizer and love your creativity in using it for a pizza crust. That never crossed my mind. I’d so love to dig into this!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Gotta make it (and maybe use that carrot top pesto of yours as a sauce!) 😉
Corina says
I love the idea of a spiralized pizza base! Sounds ingenious and looks pretty too. I also don’t use my spiralizer nearly enough and it’s also hidden away where I forget about it – until I read a post like this!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Haha, the spiralizer deserves more love from us all!
Farrah says
I need to break out my spiralizer once I get to New Jersey!!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I will break it out with you 😉
Anjali @ Vegetarian Gastronomy says
What a great idea!! I love the spiralized sweet potato crust. It looks really easy and a great twist on pizza!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Totally! I hope you give it a try 🙂
lalaine says
Gorgeous photos! Love the wisp of smoke, makes the food look so fresh and inviting 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Bahahaha! And I tried to block that wisp of smoke out 😉
Mel@avirtualvegan.com says
What a fantastic idea! I can just imagine how crispy, crunchy the bottom gets when it’s baked, and all those wonderful toppings….Yum! And it’s super duper healthy. I’m certainly in!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Mmhm 😉 You bet!
Miss Polkadot says
Potato pizza I’d heard of but using spiralized ones? That’s an intriguing idea. I’m not sure my pizza-fond family would consider it the same category as they’re homemade thin crust pizza but a Rösti – traditional Swiss potato dish; look it up on Google if you’re curious 🙂 – turned pizza would be no less creative.
Maybe Mr Pizza Hater in your school didn’t actually hate it but wanted to rebel against his parents – something a lot of children do at some point.
I very much approve of your heavy handedness on the nutritional yeast, The more, the merrier. The same goes for Brussels sprouts … mmmh.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Lol, I know what Rosti is 😛
Ah, no, this kid was a bad seed in every way…and he really hated pizza!
Cailee says
Girl this looks SO Good!! I seriously need this in my life!! I just got a spiralizer and I’m OBSESSED!! I haven’t tried spiralizing sweet potatoes yet, can’t wait to!! So fun! Enjoy!
xoxo Cailee!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
What!? Come on girl! Beets and sweet potatoes are what spiralizers were made for (at least in my house!) Haha! Those are the 2 I always do if I spiralize!
Uma says
Sweet potato pizza sounds good 🙂 Recently I am making different veggie pizza. I will add this to my list:)
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I hope you try it out!
JennyD says
Oooh, I just got a spiralizer. I should break it in with this recipe! I feel so behind the times, esp as a vegan, to be getting a spiralizer so late in the game. Excited to use it!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Haha, yes!!! Time to make up for all the lost-spiralizing-time!
Tara | Treble in the Kitchen says
Love love love the idea of using spiralized sweet potatoes for a crust!! YUM!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Yes!! Right? All fun!
Michele @ paleorunningmomma says
Funny because one of my kids asked me the other day if I know anyone who hates pizza and I said no! But that crust – yum! I’ll have to try it out in my cast iron!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
It’s really…a tragedy if you don’t!
Mmm yes! The cast iron will give it such a good crisp bottom!
Liz says
This sounds amazing! I can’t wait to try it!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Thank you! Enjoy!
Portia @ Obsessed by Portia says
This looks so good!!! Thanks for the inspo!!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I hope you make it!
Sam @ PancakeWarriors says
Sweet potato crust pizza – YES PLEASE!! I’m loving this and the nooch just adds to the yumminess! I’m down for national pizza month. That should be every month!!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
It should be!
I have to put nooch…on everything!
Mandy says
I am SO super excited about this recipe for lots of reasons! This looks amazing!!! And so colorful. Just love it! I’m laughing at the kid who hated pizza, but grew up in a pizza family! That’s nuts. There was a kid I knew in grade school who not only hated pizza, but also tacos….so obviously we weren’t friends 😉 I mean really? How could you NOT like pizza?! I just completed a week of fully raw and used my spiralizer a lot! I love how it makes ordinary foods more fun! I can’t wait to try this. <3
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Haha, no pizza or tacos!? What that childhood must have been like….just sadness!
I love how you can eat ANYTHING raw when it’s spiralized!
Courtney says
Nice! Such a creative idea!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I know! Thanks!
Chrissa - Physical Kitchness says
Ok I try to be open minded, but someone who doesn’t love pizza??? I mean, who? Seriously who? I love that this is single serve and the ‘crust’ is so creative!!!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Hahahahhahaha, I know 😛 Sometimes people are just WRONG!
Sophia | Veggies Don't Bite says
That’s such a fun way to do a pizza crust! Does it get nice and crispy like hashbrowns? I imagine it would have a soft center and crisp outside. I do not know any pizza haters except my 4 year old when he’s in a mood. But when that happens he hates just about anything so it doesn’t count. LOL!!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Yes, yes! Just like has browns!
Haha, yea no 😉 He likes pizza 😉
Lucy says
What a delicious idea! I love nutritional yeast. It’s so healthy and cheesy. I’m definitely going to try this on a day when I don’t make it to the gym 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Nutritional yeast is my spirit child :O Haha!
Casey the College Celiac says
I definitely have broken out my spiralizer more times this sumer than the last six months! Summer produce is in-spiralizing both of us I suppose! 😉
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Haha, well I haven’t made this in a long time!
Ellen @ My Uncommon Everyday says
Two of my favorite things in one – you’re a genius! I can’t wait to play with my spiralizer!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Woohoo! Make it and snap a pic!
Emily says
My sister is gluten free and is also obsessed with sweet potato so I am definitely sharing this delicious recipe with her!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
She will love it!

Evi @ greenevi says

Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Thank you Evi! xoxo
Aimee / Wallflower Kitchen says
Well this is genius! I don’t use my spiralizer nearly often enough!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I think we all could use it more!…especially for pizza!
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
Oooo yum. I needed a new way to use my fancy spiralizer! This looks great!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Pizza is always the best way 😉
Amber says
that yeast though. looks delish, kinda want to add a drippy yolk on top!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Yeast?
