  5. Spread the refried bean mixture on the prepared crust, then layer on the chopped veggies and corn.
  6. Sprinkle the vegan cheese evenly over the vegetable layer.
  7. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until the crust is golden and crispy.
  8. Let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve hot, optionally with salsa.
