Dairy-Free Pizza Pockets fresh out of the oven are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Nothing screams nostalgia quite like pizza pockets! Recreate a healthier and homemade version using puffy dough, dairy-free cheese, your favorite marinara, and toppings.
Bring the fun back into the kitchen! One of my favorite after-school snacks from childhood were pizza pockets. They were quick and fueled me until dinnertime, but somehow they also worked for lunch and dinner, when needed.
These pillowy bombs of gooey cheese and savory marinara are dairy-free and egg-free, plus can easily be made vegetarian or vegan depending on what you stuff inside. The greatest part of cooking at home is getting to customize your dishes to your specifications.
Huddle around the kitchen counter with your family or friends and let your culinary creativity flow. I like sticking to the classic mozzarella, pepperoni, with black olives. But maybe you like cheddar with leftover chicken, chicken parmesan, or four cheese? Go for it! Stuff as you please. Don’t worry about overstuffing. As long as you can bring the edges of dough together and press tightly, you shouldn’t have any blowouts.
If you’re wondering how these can be dairy-free, let me introduce you to GO VEGGIE. They have been my go-to brand since becoming lactose intolerant about 5 years ago. GO VEGGIE has better for you shreds, singles, bars, cream cheese, spread and dips, and parmesan. Whether you’re looking for lactose-free, soy-free, or vegan cheese, they have you covered!
For this recipe, I used GO VEGGIE Vegan Mozzarella Flavor Shreds and GO VEGGIE Vegan Grated Parmesan Style Topping. Both the products are non-GMO, contain no cholesterol, lactose, or gluten, and have twice the calcium as regular cheese. Even if you’re not lactose intolerant, have allergies, or a special diet, you’ll be amazed at how ooey-gooey and indulgent these products are. I personally think the Italian seasoning and Parmesan mixture topping on these pizza pockets really brings back the nostalgia of the childhood favorite, so don’t skimp on that part. What would you stuff inside your pizza pockets?

So good to see a healthy recreation of something so yummy! I bet these taste gorgeous and I’d love to make them for my son!
Heck yes!! I hope you do.
I tried visiting the GoVeggie website was was “blocked”. I wonder if they sell their cheese over here in the UK. So far I’ve been unable to find any dairy-free cheese that I like, they all seem to have an odd taste. Lactofree was good when I was lactose-free, but I’ve sadly since developed a dairy allergy.
However, these do look and sound yummy! 🙂
Oh, darn it! They only sell to the U.S. and Canada right now. Thank you <3
im always looking for dairy-free alternative for my clients…thank you for sharing 🙂
Perfect! Thank you!
my family would love these! I’ll have to try this recipe. Pinned 🙂
