I don't know much about pizza but this was interesting, so I searched "cheeseless pizza" and found various recipes. The link below looks like a pretty conventional one, which might be good. If you're only going to make one pizza for miss I-can't-eat-cheese, it should be a pretty "safe" pizza. Just in case she also can't eat anchovies, meat, etc. I figure, there are two ways to handle this person. You can serve them some awful cheese-free cardboard scrap, to just meet your minimal hostess obligations to feed her guests, and hope that she and her food restrictions take the hint and never darken your door again. Or you can embrace her cheese-free existence, make a special effort on her meal, and give her a wonderful and memorable experience. I'm a grouch and would do the former, but you're a good person and will do the latter. So, how about making her her very own personalized pizza with the toppings that she likes, using the linked recipe or a similar one as a base? Please let us know how your pizzas turn out and what you end up doing for the cheese free pizza. I'm getting more into homemade pizza. I've always thought of pizza as high-calorie, unhealthy stuff. Maybe the standard take-out pizza is, I don't really know. But I plugged the dough and sauce recipes we use into a calorie count app, and here's what I came up with. One slice (an eighth slice of a 12 inch diameter pizza) has 110 calories, 5 grams protein, 2 grams fat, 20 grams carbs. That includes mozzarella cheese made from skim milk (3/4 cup per pizza), and plenty of sauce, but no other toppings - this is the "base pizza" if you will. Seems pretty reasonable to me. Here is a link that might be useful: Cheeseless Pizza

I love baby clams with my home-marinated artichoke hearts as a topping, which is strange, because I don't care for any other seafood on pizza. I also love my pickled jalapeno rings on a cheese pizza. When I worked in a pizza parlor as a teen, we used to make those pizzas and scarf on them, waiting to see whose eyes would start watering first. I also like to eat crisp, cold dill pickles with pizza (not on it)which is another thing I picked up working there...yeah, I know, salt on top of salt, but I love the combo.

My DH will only eat pepperoni and mushroom pizza, with garlic, onions, and tons of parm. Eating out I choose ham and pineapple, or white pizza, from the store I pick the thin crust California Kitchen BBQ chicken. I bought a thrift-store book that has 50 different toppings and 30 crust recipes, but OOP now. About a third are hot Tex-Mex so I've not made them (hot pepper wimp) but the others I've tried at least once, even the salad pizzas and the dessert pizzas! I've found that just about anything baked on a crust is great, especially cold the next day for breakfast. YUM! I've been trying to find a gluten-free pizza crust recipe that tastes good, but have had no luck so far. Do any of you have one? Nancy

Good for you, Been there, done that!
