My daughter makes a great vegie pizza. She uses store bought pizza dough, pulls it to fit her cookie sheet, brushes on some olive oil and bakes it. When it's cool, she spreads hummus on top, then adds chopped olives (green and black), sliced marinated artichoke hearts, sliced green onions and chopped tomatoes. She puts it under the broiler for a few minutes then slices it into squares.

If they are true vegetarians they don't eat eggs or anything that comes from an animal. So quiche is out of the questions as is some dairy products. If they do eat cheese buy a few frozen DiGiorno pizzeria thin spinach and mushroom or there is another one with just veggies on it. They are very good, quick and easy to heat up. We use them all the time for our unexpected guests. If they don't eat cheese then make up a batch of chili, veggie soup and freeze it in small portions and it will thaw quickly. Just remember to use veggie stock.
Best idea is to ask them what they like/will eat and go from there. There are many vegetarian/vegan recipes on line.

There are a few differences between a vegan diet and a vegetarian diet. A vegan diet is one of a number of vegetarian diets. Typically, vegetarian diets are broken into three or more groups include lacto-ovo vegetarians (whose diets include eating dairy products and eggs), lacto vegetarians (who eat dairy, but avoid eggs), and vegan vegetarians which are those who avoid animal products altogether.
