My husband and I have been eating a vegan diet for over a year now. When I ask him, "
If you could have one NON-vegan meal, what would it be?" I am always surprised it's not a huge steak he would want, but a deep dish sausage pizza that haunts him. A few weeks back when at our local pizza joint I asked if they could make a vegan version for us, but was sadly told it couldn't be done. I could see why a non-vegan restaurant couldn't make my husbands dreams come true, but heck - I could! Friday night the heavens opened up and my husband fell in love - with a Vegan Deep Dish "Sausage" Pizza! I wanted this to be as true to a non-vegan pie with "real" sausage bites and thick to perfection. Somehow I accomplished it all. The flavor was amazing, crust held up great and the little sausage balls just sent it over the edge! I now need to go out and buy a deep round pan just for making this pizza!!
