This vegan Alfredo pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick and healthy dinner. The creamy Alfredo sauce is made with cashew and nutritional yeast, and the pizza is topped with a variety of vegetables, including broccoli, zucchini, red onion, mushrooms, and black olives. The pizza is baked in a preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
