This simple artichoke pizza is cheesy and delicious, with a unique combination of flavors!
For Artichoke Lovers!
Our kids would eat pizza for dinner every night if we let them! We usually have pizza at least one night a week and always start with our Homemade Pizza Dough. Then we get creative!
While cheese and our Pepperoni Pizza Recipe are go-to’s, this artichoke pizza is a favorite easy dinner idea!
It’s a great vegetarian option along with our lighter Tomato Pizza.
Why we love it:
- Sauceless. Instead of a red Pizza Sauce Recipe, it has a simple extra virgin olive oil and garlic base that is packed with flavor.
- Quick dinner recipe. With just 10 minutes of prep time and 11 minutes of baking, this recipe offers a delicious homemade meal in no time.
- So simple! Besides the pizza dough, this artichoke heart pizza only requires FIVE ingredients for the toppings!

Recipe FAQ
How do I make a crisp crust?
- Use a very hot oven for a crisp crust and melty hot cheese. Just be extra careful putting the pizza in and pulling it out!
- The best way to get a fully cooked pizza crust without burning the toppings is to use a pizza stone.
- For either a pizza stone or sheet pan, place the oven rack in the lower part of the oven to create a perfectly cooked crispy crust.
- Try blind baking, especially if the crust is thick- prebake the pizza dough for 5-6 minutes, add the toppings, and then finish baking.
add extra flavor?
- Sauce. Spread on a layer of basil pesto or softened cream cheese.
- Seasoning. Add some heat with red pepper flakes or extra spice with fresh basil, parsley, and oregano, or toss the artichoke in lemon juice.
- Veggies. Pair artichokes with mushrooms, sliced onion, thyme, basil, olives, chopped fresh spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or bell peppers.

This was a great pizza. The crust had a lovely crispness while still being a bread. The cheese was a little browned, which was tasty. The whole thing tasted like the spinach artichoke dip you get at restaurants, spread over bread. Very tasty. I added spinach with the artichokes and used 2 cloves of garlic instead of the spice. The ingredients don’t include the cornmeal, so I forgot to buy it. Instead, I just cooked it on parchment paper for five minutes, then slipped the paper out.
Happy you liked it! I’m sorry if it was missing an ingredient. This recipe is from a contributor, so I will get that fixed 🙂
The garlic artichokes add a fresh taste. It’s a nice change from the normal pepperoni my kids all like.
i love artichoke pizza!! cant wait to try out this recipe
I hope you will 🙂 It has become one of my favorites!
Didn’t think I would care to much for this, but I was so wrong! It was amazing! The cheeses & artichokes are a yummy combination. We will make this again for sure!

You’ll have to give this pizza a try. Its very tasty and just as good as any store bought pizza.
I’d like to think this has to be healthier, right?! It is so good!! Love the artichokes on it. I had never tried it before, but recently did & was pleasantly surprised! I’ll be making this again!
