Ready to spice up your pizza game with a tasty Thai twist? This Thai Veggie pizza is loaded with a creamy peanut sauce and colorful fresh veggies. And it's easy enough to make for a weeknight dinner! Vegetarian and vegan, too.
We do a lot of cooking in our house, but there's one thing that makes the list nearly every week. Pizza! We love making homemade pizzas, and we turn it into a family activity most weekends.
So I thought I would experiment with some new topping ideas. Given that Thai is one of our all time favorite cuisines, I decided to shake up pizza night with this Thai inspired creation.
It turned out totally delicious. And it was so easy that I may have to add this recipe to our weeknight dinner rotation!
Tips & Variations
Pizza Crust: I used my own homemade pizza crust recipe for the dough. But you can use any pizza dough recipe that you prefer, store bought pizza dough, or even a premade pizza crust. They will all work just fine. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time based on the package instructions so you don't burn your pizza!
The Peanut Sauce: This recipe includes my own homemade peanut sauce. If you want to make this even easier, you can substitute a store bought sauce. I like this one from Annie Chun. Just be sure to check the label, as some brands are not vegetarian friendly.
Mix up the Toppings! Feel free to experiment with your own favorite veggies for the toppings. I used bell peppers and yellow onions. But shiitake mushrooms, red onions, or broccoli would be great choices. You can also swap mandarin oranges or mango slices for the pineapple!

📖 Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pizza crust dough, your favorite store bought or homemade pizza dough
Peanut Sauce
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar, use less if your peanut butter is already sweetened!
- pinch crushed red pepper flakes, optional

For Toppings
- Cooking spray

- ½ cup mung bean sprouts
- ½ cup pineapple, diced
- fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 Celsius).
- Roll out the pizza crust on a clean, floured surface. You can make one large pizza or divide the dough into smaller portions for personal sized pizzas.
- Whisk together the peanut butter, vinegar, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, pepper flakes, and 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl. Add additional water if needed, one tablespoon at a time, until sauce reaches a creamy consistency.
- Spray a nonstick pan with cooking spray and heat over medium high heat. Sauté the bell peppers and onions for 5-7 minutes, until softened. Set aside.
- Spread sauce onto the pizza crust(s). Top with the peppers and onions. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until crust is golden brown. (Check often, as bake time can vary depending on your crust recipe.)
- Remove pizza from oven and top with the mung bean sprouts and fresh cilantro. Serve!

I was just deciding whether to order pizza from Glass Nickel or make my own when I decided I'll try the Thai Pie... I just did a random search on Google and boy am I glad I came across this post. 🙂
Of all the pizzas I have ever eaten, Glass Nickel's Thai Pie remains best for me
Thank you for your version of the recipe!! I'll try this today and let you know how it turns out 🙂
