I am beyond obsessed with homemade pizzas. It not only saves you time and money, but is SO much easier than I ever imagined. While I love a classic pizza sauce, this chicken bacon alfredo pizza comes in a very tight second place, maybe even tying for first!
Something about the creamy rich sauce paired with the chicken is unbeatable. This recipe is ideal for using up leftovers and can be customized to include almost any topping!
CHICKEN ALFREDO PIZZA TOPPINGS
What are the best toppings for this pizza? We did our research and ordered alfredo pizzas from all of our local pizza shops, and here is what we found out. The most popular toppings are cheese, chicken, and bacon. But that doesn’t mean you have to end your topping choices there. Here are a few more ideas we often add:
- Fresh Basil
- Red Pepper Flakes
- Red Onion Slices
- Cooked Italian Sausage
- Fresh Tomatoes
- Bacon
- Cooked Spinach
HOW TO MAKE ALFREDO PIZZA
- Make The Dough: Start by making a batch of homemade pizza dough, or picking up dough from your local grocer. You’ll be surprised how simple my dough recipe is. AND it tastes better the longer it sits. Make it the night before and keep it covered in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat.
- Make The Sauce: With just a few simple ingredients you can have a flavor packed sauce that is insanely delicious. This can be made the day before and stored in an airtight container.
- Assemble the Pizza: Gently stretch the dough into a circle. Spread a heaping spoonful of sauce and top with a sprinkle of cheese, chicken, and bacon.
- Bake: The secret here is to use a quality pizza stone or pan. I live for my Lodge Cast Iron Pizza Pan (affiliate). It is big enough for a 15 inch pizza and cooks the crust evenly. We also use it for almost any frozen foods that need a nice crispy finish (taquitos, pizza bites, corndogs…).
TIPS AND FAQS
- Heat the pizza stone or pan in the oven while it heats to the proper temperature. This will help give you that crispy crust that is still soft and chewy.
- For a fluffier pizza crust you can let it rest for about 10 minutes after shaping before you add the toppings. This is also helpful since it’s not baked as hot as pizza normally is.
- Seve immediately after cooking for the best flavor.
