Finding genuinely good vegan pizza in Sydney is harder than it should be. Most places offer one token vegan option — a margherita with the cheese swapped out, or a vegetable pizza that tastes like an afterthought. Plant-based food deserves better than that. Here’s what to look for, and where Made In Italy fits in.
What Makes a Vegan Pizza Actually Good
A vegan pizza lives or dies on its base and its sauce. Thick, doughy bases mask a mediocre topping situation. A proper Roman-style base — thin, crispy, light — forces the toppings to carry the dish. That’s a better test of quality.
The sauce matters just as much. A fast-cooked tomato paste is not the same as a slow-developed tomato sauce. At Made In Italy, the tomato base on every pizza — vegan or not — comes from the same sauce that goes on the meat options. No compromise, no separate “vegan version.”
Then there’s the topping selection. Vegan pizza fails when it’s just “pizza minus the cheese.” The best versions treat vegetables as the star, not a substitute.
What Vegan Options Made In Italy Offers
Made In Italy has dedicated vegan pizza options across the full menu. The Roman-style XL base is dairy-free and egg-free by default — the base itself is vegan. Toppings include:
- Roasted seasonal vegetables
- Italian tomato base (slow-developed, not fast-cooked)
- Olive oil, fresh herbs, garlic
- Plant-based protein options on selected pizzas
All vegan options are available for delivery and takeaway across Sydney — from Alexandria, Annandale, Pyrmont and the CBD kitchen.

Why Roman-Style Pizza Works So Well for Vegan Diets
Roman-style pizza has structural advantages for plant-based eating that most pizza styles don’t.
The base is lighter. A thin, well-fermented Roman base doesn’t overwhelm the palate, which means vegetables and sauce flavour come through clearly. On a thick, dense base, everything competes.
It’s designed to share. An XL Roman pizza is made for the middle of the table. For a group with mixed diets, having a proper XL vegan option alongside other pizzas is a better solution than ordering individual vegan servings that feel like an afterthought.
The sauce is the base flavour. Roman pizza puts more emphasis on the tomato base than most styles. When that base is built from a slow-cooked sauce rather than a paste, the vegan option has real depth of flavour without needing cheese to carry it.
