What Makes an Artichoke Pizza So Special?
Traditionally, an artichoke pizza features a golden, perfectly baked pizza crust, generously layered with creamy mozzarella cheese and tender artichoke hearts, often marinated with delightful hints of garlic, bright lemon, and aromatic herbs. Our particular version of this classic takes it a step further by offering a wonderful blend of rich Alfredo white pizza with the distinctive, savory elements of a spinach and artichoke pizza. This Spinach Artichoke Alfredo Pizza truly delivers the best of both worlds, uniting two beloved flavor profiles into one extraordinarily rich, cheesy, and satisfying pizza experience.
The combination of spinach and artichokes is, without a doubt, one of my absolute favorite flavor pairings. Its versatility allows it to harmonize beautifully with a wide array of other ingredients. For example, to create a hearty Chicken Alfredo Spinach Pizza, simply add some shredded, cooked chicken to the topping mix. If you’re looking to incorporate more vegetables, feel free to add sliced mushrooms for an earthy depth that complements the existing flavors perfectly. This pizza is a canvas for your culinary creativity.

One of the most appealing aspects of this incredible recipe is the freedom it offers for customization. You can truly tailor it to your personal preferences and dietary needs. When it comes to the pizza crust, you have several excellent options. For those looking for a healthier alternative that’s higher in protein and fiber, consider making your own cauliflower crust. The texture and taste will pleasantly surprise you. However, if convenience is your priority and you prefer a quicker, easier route, using a high-quality store-bought crust is absolutely fine and will still yield a delicious result. The choice is yours!

While many elements of this recipe are flexible, there’s one suggestion I will strongly emphasize: please grate your own cheese for this dish. The difference it makes in both melting quality and overall flavor is substantial. Pre-shredded cheeses often contain anti-caking agents that prevent them from melting as smoothly or tasting as fresh. Taking a few extra minutes to grate your own Parmesan Romano and Mozzarella will elevate your pizza to a gourmet level. You can discover more about the benefits of freshly grated cheese in my dedicated post: Why You Should Grate Your Own Cheese.

These options are sure to enhance any meal or gathering.

Is Spinach Pizza a Healthy Choice?
Spinach consistently ranks as one of the most popular and frequently requested pizza toppings, and for good reason! This leafy green powerhouse is packed with essential nutrients, including high levels of the vitamin folate, which plays a crucial role in promoting healthy blood circulation in your brain. Did you know that regular consumption, such as one daily serving of spinach, has been linked to slowing down cognitive decline in the elderly, partly due to its significant vitamin K content? It’s a truly remarkable vegetable!
When incorporating spinach into your pizza recipes, you have the flexibility to use raw, frozen, or fresh varieties. If opting for fresh spinach, it’s generally recommended to sauté it briefly before adding it to your pizza. This prevents it from becoming slimy during baking and ensures a more pleasant texture. Frozen spinach, on the other hand, is typically blanched (cooked quickly) before being packaged and frozen. This pre-cooking process gives it a wonderfully satisfying texture when used as a pizza topping: lightly crunchy and almost fluffy. A crucial tip for using frozen spinach: always thaw it thoroughly and, most importantly, squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible before spreading it on your pizza. This step prevents your pizza from becoming soggy and guarantees a crispier crust.

Essential Ingredients for Your Spinach and Artichoke Alfredo Pizza
This delightful recipe relies on a handful of straightforward ingredients that you likely already have readily available in your refrigerator or pantry. For the precise measurements and quantities, please refer to the detailed recipe card located further down the page.
- Heavy Cream: This is the cornerstone of our rich Alfredo sauce, crucial for achieving that desirable thick and luxurious consistency for your pizza base.
- Butter: Added to ensure the white sauce remains wonderfully smooth, creamy, and imparts a rich flavor depth. We recommend using unsalted butter to control the overall saltiness of the dish.
- Cream Cheese: A secret ingredient that significantly contributes to the Alfredo sauce’s exceptionally creamy and thick texture, giving it a delightful tang. Ensure it’s softened for easier blending.
- Parmesan Romano Cheese and Mozzarella Cheese: What’s a pizza without an abundance of delicious cheese? This blend of sharp Parmesan Romano and meltable Mozzarella is chosen specifically to perfectly integrate with and complement the creamy Alfredo sauce, creating a rich, gooey topping.
- Garlic Powder: A non-negotiable ingredient in any Alfredo-based recipe! Garlic powder infuses the sauce with a bold, aromatic flavor that truly brings the entire pizza to life.
- Spinach: Fresh spinach adds a robust, earthy, and delightfully refreshing flavor dimension to the dish, cutting through the richness of the cheese and cream.
- Artichoke Hearts: These provide a distinctive mildly nutty flavor and a satisfyingly chewy texture, making them an indispensable and perfect addition to this savory pizza. Canned or jarred artichoke hearts, rinsed and drained, work wonderfully.
- Pizza Crust: The foundation of your pizza! You can opt for your favorite store-bought pizza crust for convenience, or for an even fresher taste, consider making your own homemade pizza dough.

How to Create This Irresistible Vegetarian Alfredo Pizza
My recipe for this easy Spinach and Artichoke Alfredo Pizza is designed to be incredibly simple and straightforward to prepare, ensuring a delicious outcome even for novice cooks. For even more detailed, step-by-step instructions and specific tips, please continue to scroll down to the comprehensive recipe card below.
Prep Work
Begin by preheating your oven to a robust 425 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 220 degrees Celsius). This ensures your oven is at the optimal temperature for a perfectly cooked crust and melted cheese.

Take your canned or jarred artichoke hearts, drain them thoroughly, rinse under cold water, and then chop them into smaller, bite-sized pieces. This ensures they are evenly distributed and easy to eat on the pizza.
Pre-Bake the Crust
Place your chosen pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone and pre-bake it in the oven for just a few minutes. The goal here is to partially cook the crust, firming it up slightly, but remove it *before* it begins to brown. This crucial step prevents a soggy bottom once the creamy toppings are added.
Whip Up the Alfredo Sauce
In a medium saucepan set over low heat on your stovetop, combine the heavy cream, butter, and softened cream cheese. Stir continuously with a whisk or spoon until the mixture is completely smooth and all the dairy has melted together. Next, stir in the freshly grated Parmesan Romano cheese and garlic powder. Continue stirring gently for approximately 15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld beautifully. Keep the heat low to prevent scorching.
Prepare the Spinach
In a separate skillet, place the fresh spinach along with about a tablespoon of water. Sauté the spinach over medium heat for just a few minutes, stirring until it has completely wilted down. This reduces its volume and makes it easier to incorporate into the sauce.

Once wilted, remove the spinach from the skillet and place it onto several layers of paper towel. Firmly pat and press all of the excess liquid out of the spinach. This is a critical step to prevent a watery pizza topping.
Combine and Mix
Gently fold the thoroughly drained and wilted spinach into the creamy Alfredo sauce you prepared earlier. Stir until the spinach is evenly distributed throughout the sauce. This mixture will form the luscious base of your pizza.
Assemble the Pizza
Generously spread the delicious spinach Alfredo mixture evenly over your pre-baked pizza crust, ensuring it covers the entire surface right to the edges.

Next, artfully place the chopped artichoke pieces on top of the spinach mixture, distributing them uniformly. Finally, sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over all the toppings. This final layer of cheese will melt into a golden, gooey perfection.
Bake to Golden Perfection
Carefully place the assembled pizza pan (or pizza stone with the pizza on it) into your preheated oven. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the cheese on top has melted, is bubbling, and has turned a beautiful golden brown, and the crust is crisp.
Tip: For an even crispier crust and better heat distribution, consider using an oven-safe skillet or a cast iron skillet. A pizza stone is also an excellent tool for achieving professional-level results at home!

Serve and Enjoy!
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to stand for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This resting period allows the cheese to set slightly, preventing the toppings from sliding off when you cut into it.
