    Reads more like a casserole with a crust to me.

    I don't know what that is, but it aint pizza. I eat a fair amount of vegan stuff but I wouldn't eat that. Tofu is not ricotta, and all I can think of when I saw the black eyed peas is the Grouplove song Beans On Pizza.

    It's vegan... I wouldn't classify it as food.

    Wow, so many vegan haters. Lucky you guys don't suffer from food allergies.

    Y'all make me laugh with your descriptions of "topless pot pies" and "casserole with a crust". In the rest of the world, we call these things "pies", and "pizza" is just Italian for "pie". Google "pizza rustica" for an example.

    And traditional pizza of the flatbread-with-toppings variety does not have to have cheese, several traditional Italian versions do not.

    I would try this.

    Definitely seems more like a pot pie to me, rather than (any kind of) North American style pizza. I'm not big on any kind of cheese substitutes, even though I'm lactose intolerant, so I probably wouldn't eat it. But you could tweak the recipe a bit and have something that appealed to me.

    Being vegan is not the route to avoiding food allergies for a large number of people ..because many people are allergic to vegan foods

    Yeah but I was talking about common food allergens like eggs, milk and dairy. I know some people are allergic to soy but my point was that sometimes you have to eat vegan due to food allergies. Like, I don't trust anyone with food I haven't made myself anymore due to people saying "oh no it doesn't have eggs", then me eating it and having an allergic reaction because it turns out it does. Stuff like that is very serious. And since I am allergic to eggs [not just yolks, the entire egg including the whites], vegan options are the safest for me.

    It's not funny to experience anaphylaxis because someone else conveniently forgot they put eggs in something.

    OK, but you are looking at it in a very narrow way, based on your allergies. Some of the most dangerous allergies are to nuts. A vegan diet isn't necessarily going to help with that.

    So you're also allergic to pork, beef, shellfish, poultry, and fish? I'm trying to understand the vegan connection.

    I know more people anaphylactic to nuts or who are celiac so have issues with conventionally "vegan" foods

    That said I'm personally intolerant to egg yolk and shellfish ...still an omnivore just eat around it ..personal choice

    No issue with veganism, although its generally a personal moral / ethical decision rather than one taken in relation to health issues..it also takes a lot of concentration, planning and knowledge to be nutritionally sound as a WOE

    It looks like my husbands vegetable quiche concoction. He's so proud of it, and i eat it even though it tastes.... not very nice. I just have a huge side salad with it and tell him i can't have too much "quiche" because i'm dieting :flushed:

    Looks okay. Probably fairly nutritious. I'd try it. If I liked it, I'd eat it, and if I liked it enough, I'd make it. Can't say I care what it's called . . . .

    (From the article: " . . .almost a cross between a Lasagna, hoppin john and a Deep Dish Pizza . . . . presented 2 large pieces to hubbs and he ate one and decided he was utterly confused about what the pie was (it tastes more like lasagna, but has beans and was in a pizza;). he ate 3 more pieces and declared he loves it! in spite of all the confusion going on on the taste buds. . . ." - so I don't think the originator really had a "this is *PIZZA*" vibe going, despite the word being in the name).

    I have no idea what you'd classify it and I don't think I'd call it pizza, but it looks awesome! I love black eyed peas and I love tofu. I'd have to include some actual mozzarella or provalone though. There is no substitute for that, imho.

    It looks good but I definitely wouldn't call it pizza. A bean pie maybe? Actually no, it looks like a whole new type of food thing and deserves to be given it's own name. I suggest 'Ploffle'.

    I have to eat vegan desserts because I am allergic to eggs and intolerant to dairy. Too much milk gives me stomach aches and diarrhea. Cheese is ok but not ice cream. My normal eating is egg free, though I can't stand the taste of meat so I am vegetarian.

    I don't know where you're getting that from. My boyfriend is allergic to nuts and has less problems with allergy attacks than I do. He can eat a slight bit of nuts and have a little reaction. If I eat foods with eggs than it leads to anaphylaxis. My son seems to have inherited my egg allergy. He did not even eat any eggs, my boyfriend made eggs, bacon and bread to see if my son would eat it. He only ate the bread but because it had egg residue, he broke out in hives. So now we know he can't have eggs at all anymore.

    Reactions certainly vary from person to person as well.

    You never eat anything like a tomato soup or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?
