English Muffin Pizzas

English Muffin Pizzas for dinner is one of the few serious traditions my family shares. My parents used to enjoy these pizzas after they got married and were living in a small apartment with a tiny kitchen. Since then, we've enjoyed English Muffin pizzas for dinner every once in a while as a special treat.

They're super easy to make, and they're often our last-minute dinner of choice. We keep most of the ingredients in our house, and buy the vegan cheese as needed. Our local grocery store often has sales on English Muffins, so my dad will come home from the grocery store every once in a while with a pile of them. We all know what that means: pizza time.

You can tailor the toppings to whatever you like. Do you like artichokes (yay you!)? Then slap some airlocks on there. Are you more of a cheese-only person? That's cool too. Everyone has unique pizza topping preferences,  so feel free to use whatever toppings you'd like. The ones I listed below are just ideas that have worked well for my family.

Hopefully you and whomever you share these mini pizzas with can enjoy them as much as my family always has.

My pizzas are in the center (you can see the Fs I made out of rosemary). My mom's are on the right and my dad's are on the right.
