Vegan Pizza: Is Pizza Without Cheese Really Pizza? || Really Dough?

Mark Iacono has very specific rules on what makes a pizza. Sauce, cheese and dough. That’s it. So where does pizza with vegan cheese and vegan sausage fit into the equation? On this week’s episode, Scott stops by Paulie Gee’s Slice Shop to pick up a vegan Sicilian pizza for Mark to taste. Will Mark call it a pizza? Will Mark kick Scott out of his restaurant again?

Pizza is one of the most customizable foods in history. Tomato sauce, white sauce, artichoke cream sauce, broccoli, M&M’s, pineapple, edible 24K gold -- a pizza can be anything your heart desires. But should it? Renowned pizza nerd Scott Wiener is challenging the idea that pizza can be anything. He’s traveling all over America, spotlighting these Frankenstein pizzas and trying to make a case for whether these new customizations can, in fact, still be considered a pizza. In the end, Wiener takes these pizzas to Lucali to pass final judgment from the purist of all pizza purists, Mark Iacono, where he will either declare each slice “PIZZA!” or ask with complete disgust, “Really, dough???”
