This meatless pizza is super tasty and nutritious with kale and mushrooms.
Friday is our family’s pizza night. We’re now up to a DOUBLE BATCH of dough. And I only have one teenager so far!
I see a lot more salads in our future.
The crowd typically chooses pepperoni, olive, and cheese, or a combination thereof, atop a bed of red sauce. Not I. I like something different, usually of the vegetable variety.
This Kale and Mushroom Pizza would be one of those different kind of pizzas that I love. This is easy to make, delicious to eat, and absolutely good for you.
It’s kale, for Heaven’s sake!
I think pizza is really a free-form thing, so I’m hesitant to give you real measurements. Homemade pizza is “to taste,” and that is how it should be. But, for those who want direction, here’s the lowdown.

I can’t wait to try this! One of my favorite Whole Foods pizza is the one with kale & sausage – soooo good!
I love homemade pizzas. This pizza looks beautiful. I can’t wait to try this at home.
OMG this was SO good! We made it last night. And because that one pizza was so good…we made 2 others!!! I did have a little trouble with the crust being had to work with. I think I’ll leave it to get to room temp. Make it a little easier to work with.
THANK YOU for this recipe!!!
PS I am going to use that seasoning mix on EVERYTHING!
Yay! I love to hear success stories.
I know this is kind of a dumb question, but I’m a terrible cook and need very specific instructions. Do you sautee the kale & mushrooms first, or put them on raw? Do they get cooked enough? Thanks in advance!
Just put them on raw. They will cook just fine in the oven. In France they even crack an egg on top and it cooks in the oven.
