Truth be told, I hesitated on posting up my review for the Clean Cravings Pizza Crusts. As you can tell from my review on their Pesto Pizza, I was very impressed with the company overall. That is seriously one of the best mini-pizzas I have every tasted, never mind that it is gluten-free and dairy-free. That, my dear readers, is simply a side benefit. But you see Clean Cravings is a certified vegan company … in addition to the Pesto Pizza they offer a Mushrooms, Peppers & Broccoli Pizza and two types of crusts, original and rosemary. As most of you know, I certainly have nothing against the vegan diet, and love supporting the cause. But because this company is certified vegan, it almost embarrasses me how we sampled their crusts …

My husband wanted sausage-mushroom pizza, and I just couldn’t let the poor boy down. He didn’t get to trial the pesto pizza, and wanted to sample these crusts.

Though I would never try to pretend that this is a strictly vegan household, I hate "de-veganizing" products that go out of their way to meet a certain standard. Of course, I finally realized that not all people who purchase these wonderful products will be vegan, and yes, some of you may grace them with added meat. Plus, I think telling the world about these great products is the most important thing of all! And, our pizzas are still gluten-free, soy-free, and of course dairy-free.

Vegan or not, they were fabulous. These thin crusts have a wonderful crisp and chew that is unique, yet delicious. The only thing I found fault with was that the crusts were just a touch sweet for my taste. I do add a wee bit of sweetener when making homemade pizza crust to balance the flavor, but would like just a smidgen less in these. However, they were so darn good (and demolished in minutes) that I would just call this a quibble rather than a deal-breaker.

The products from Clean Cravings are on the higher end in terms of price, particularly if you are looking for an everyday lunchbox item. But if you are seeking a gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan pizza to savor, then you won’t find a better treat.
