- Mushrooms: These versatile fungi offer a variety of B vitamins, including folate, essential for cell growth and development. Plus, they provide plant-based protein and fibre, contributing to satiety and digestive health.
- Spinach and Basil: These leafy greens are nutritional powerhouses loaded with iron, which is crucial for the transportation of oxygen in the blood. They also contain fibre, which promotes healthy digestion, and essential minerals like magnesium and potassium, which support various bodily functions.
- Vegan Mozzarella: This plant-based cheese alternative is crafted from wholesome ingredients like nuts, soy, or coconut. It provides healthy fats, important for energy and nutrient absorption, and plant protein, contributing to muscle building and repair. It is also cholesterol-free, making it a heart-healthy option.

2. Supports Heart Health & Lowers Cholesterol
Traditional pizza is often loaded with full-fat dairy cheese and processed meats, which can increase cholesterol levels and lead to heart-related issues over time.
Our vegan pizza is made with dairy-free cheese alternatives and healthy toppings, helping with the:
- Reduction of LDL Cholesterol: Our vegan pizza helps to reduce LDL cholesterol levels. High LDL cholesterol, also known as “bad” cholesterol, is a major risk factor for heart disease, as it can build up in the arteries and lead to blockages.
- Promotion of Heart Health: The ingredients in our vegan pizza, such as olive oil, nuts, and plant-based cheese, are rich in nutrients that support heart health. These ingredients work together to maintain healthy cholesterol levels and improve overall cardiovascular function.
- Provision of Healthy Unsaturated Fats: Unlike the saturated fats found in dairy cheese and processed meats, our vegan pizza provides healthy unsaturated fats. These are essential for maintaining balanced cholesterol levels and promoting heart health.
Choosing a plant-based Margherita or veggie-loaded pizza means you’re enjoying great flavour with fewer health risks.
3. Easier on Digestion & Gut Health
Have you ever felt bloated or sluggish after eating a heavy, cheese-based pizza? That’s because dairy can be hard to digest, especially for those with lactose intolerance.
At Pizza Di Rocco, our vegan pizzas are:

Fibre aids digestion, promotes satiety, and helps regulate blood sugar levels, ensuring you feel energised and satisfied after your meal.
