Make restaurant-style white pizza at home without tomato sauce. This recipe uses a rich blend of ricotta, mozzarella, and a creamy garlic base for an indulgent, quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made pizza dough (or homemade artisan dough)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven and pizza stone (if using) to 475 degrees Fahrenheit. If you do not have a stone, place a baking sheet in the oven while it preheats.
  2. Prepare the garlic oil base: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and minced garlic. Let this sit while you prepare the dough.
  3. Stretch or roll out your pizza dough to your desired thickness on a lightly floured surface. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper or a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal.
  4. Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a one-inch border for the crust.
  5. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the ricotta layer.
  6. Season the cheese lightly with salt and pepper.
  7. Brush the prepared garlic oil mixture evenly over the cheese and the exposed crust edges.
  8. Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated stone or baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  10. Remove the pizza from the oven. Let it cool for two minutes, then sprinkle with fresh parsley before slicing and serving immediately.

Notes

  • For an extra gourmet flavor, use fresh mozzarella instead of pre-shredded, but pat it dry first to avoid excess moisture.
  • If you prefer a thinner, crispier crust, use a pizza stone and bake directly on the stone after preheating for at least 30 minutes.
  • This recipe works well with toppings like sautéed mushrooms or cooked, shredded chicken for a Chicken Alfredo Pizza variation.
