Simple Aldi Recipes: Vegetarian Pizza $1.80 (3 in 1 Meal)

Homemade Vegetarian Pizza $1.80

One of my favorite things to make is vegetarian pizza, and it is usually my go to meal the day before grocery shopping. I use whatever leftover produce I have in the fridge, and with a homemade crust and some great tasting mozzarella cheese, it turns into a delicious meal. This is also a perfect Aldi Recipe, as it can be created with cheap products from Aldi.




The vegetarian pizza is a part of my 3 in 1 meal for just around $5, which makes it a very inexpensive meal.
