Ingredients

Pizza Base

1 lb Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade) Use store-bought for a quick option.

Sauce and Cheese

1/2 cup Alfredo sauce (high-quality jarred or homemade)
1 1/2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese Freshly grated recommended.
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese

Toppings

2 cloves Garlic, minced
2 cups Fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped Use fresh instead of frozen for best results.
1/2 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional) Add for a spicy kick.
1 tablespoon Olive oil For brushing the crust.
Cornmeal for dusting the pan Prevents sticking.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
Lightly dust a baking sheet or pizza peel with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out your pizza dough into a 12-inch circle.
Transfer the dough to your prepared pan or peel. Brush the edges of the dough lightly with olive oil.

Adding the Toppings

Spread the Alfredo sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about an inch of space around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the minced garlic over the sauce.
Layer the chopped spinach across the pizza.
Cover the spinach with a generous layer of shredded mozzarella followed by Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes.

Baking and Serving

Slide the pizza into the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2 to 3 minutes before slicing.
Slice into wedges and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use fresh spinach and grate your own cheese. Customize with grilled chicken or other toppings as desired.
