Every Friday night is pizza night, so we’re usually picking up or making pizzas for the night. We used to do take out more, but recently found a Homemade Pizza Dough recipe that changed the pizza game for us.
Having that recipe down pat along with having recipes for perfect sauces (RED and WHITE), we’ve been making pizzas like it’s nobody’s business.
One of our favorite homemade pizzas is WHITE pizza (aka Alfredo Pizza). Have you tried it before? It’s amazing and so flavorful!! We love us some typical red sauce pizzas, but we think our Alfredo sauce is to die for!!
Why we think you’ll love it:
- So delicious. Family favorite flavor with creamy garlic sauce and plenty of cheese.
- Staple ingredients. Budget friendly pantry ingredients and leftover chicken work great.
- Party ready. Perfect for hosting, sliceable and easy to serve with dips and salad.
Chicken Alfredo Pizza Ingredients
- Pizza crust: The sturdy base that bakes crisp on the bottom and holds all that creamy, cheesy topping.
- Heavy whipping cream (1/3 cup): Gives the Alfredo its rich, silky body so it spreads beautifully over the crust.
- Butter (1.5 tbsp): Adds flavor and helps emulsify the sauce for a smooth, glossy finish.
- Cream cheese (2 tsp): Stabilizes the sauce so it stays creamy in the oven and adds tangy richness.
- Shredded Parmesan cheese (2 tbsp): Salty, nutty bite that deepens the Alfredo flavor and helps it thicken.
- Garlic powder (dash): Quick garlic flavor that perfumes the sauce without chopping cloves.
- Mozzarella cheese (2 cups): Melts into stretchy goodness for that classic pizza pull.
- Chicken, cooked and cubed (1 cup): Adds hearty protein and soaks up the garlicky sauce.
- Spinach, chopped (1 cup): Brings color and a fresh note that balances the richness.
- Bacon, optional: A smoky, savory accent that pairs deliciously with creamy Alfredo.
How to Make Alfredo Pizza
SAUCE. Make white Alfredo sauce by combining butter, heavy cream and cream cheese in a sauce pan. Simmer until melted and mix well.
Add Parmesan cheese and garlic powder. Simmer for 15-20 minutes on low.
MAKE THE PIZZA. Top pizza with sauce, Mozzarella cheese, chicken strips, chopped spinach and bacon.
BAKE. Bake at 450 for 8-10 minutes.
NOTE: If making pizza dough fresh, cook at 500 for 5 minutes, then top with sauce and toppings and bake an additional 8-10 minutes.
Kristyn’s Recipe Tips
- Par bake the crust for 3 to 5 minutes if it is soft or homemade, this helps prevent a soggy center.
- Simmer the Alfredo gently, keep it low so the dairy stays smooth and does not split.
- Dry the spinach, pat with a towel to remove moisture so the pizza bakes crisp.
- Use cooked leftovers, rotisserie chicken or grilled chicken makes this extra fast.
- Change it up by using some of these ingredients: fresh basil, red pepper flakes, sweet Italian sausage, fresh thyme, onions, tomatoes, bacon.

Recipe FAQ
After you have rolled out your dough then you will want to par-bake it. To do this just put it in the oven on a baking sheet at 500 degrees and cook for 5 minutes then take it out to cool. Once the dough has cooled completely, add sauce and toppings as desired.
Then freeze the pizza on a baking sheet for 2-3 hours, once it is frozen then wrap it in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
When you are ready to bake your frozen pizza, unwrap it and bake it, still frozen, in the oven at 450 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the crust is brown.
Leftovers will last in the fridge for 3-4 days if stored properly. STORE them in an airtight container or Ziplock bag. To REHEAT, put in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or until hot or reheat in the oven at 350 degrees for 5-10 minutes.

Looking forward to more posts like this. The examples made it more relatable. This is exactly what I needed today.
I’m so glad to hear that and I’m happy the post was helpful for you!
Looks absolutely divine.
I have a variety of different sizes of pans that I use; but didn’t see anywhere on what size pizza pan you used.
How would you cook the chicken for this recipe? Thanks!
You can cook however you prefer — you could bake, pan fry, grill, boil. You could even use a rotisserie chicken and just cut it into cubes. Here’s an easy way to bake chicken in the oven (I tend to use this method a lot when using cooked chicken in recipes). https://lilluna.com/baked-chicken/
This recipe was perfect for my girlfriend who was craving pizza but doesn’t eat red sauce.
Tasty and magnificient
I made much, much, very, very much needed,
husband points making this for my wife, THANK YOU!!
You’re welcome! Glad the recipe could earn you some husband points! 🙂
Am I missing something? Where is the recipe for the homemade pizza crust?
This specific post is the recipe for the Alfredo sauce and toppings, but we do link to our homemade pizza crust a few times in the post. Here’s the link for a quick reference: https://lilluna.com/homemade-pizza-dough/
Alfredo and pizza. A good way to get a two of our favorites in one.
We always have pizza on Friday or Saturday night. This will be a nice change from our normal cheese and pepperoni.
Great idea!! Two of my favorites combined into one delicious meal!!
This alfredo sauce was so simple to make and so creamy! I prefer alfredo pizza over the traditional sauce and so does my family. The only regret, is that I should have made another one! This pizza did not last long!
Super satisfied to this chicken alfredo pizza recipe! super love it! Thanks a lot for sharing! 🙂
Ok, I love chicken alfredo, but as pizza, now that is even better!! Very good! I will be making it more often!
I was just wondering if this can be frozen and cooked later to make ahead for busy nights?
I personally haven’t tried, but I am sure it can 🙂
I looked and looked but could not find the pizza dough receipt you mentioned.
Here is the link to the pizza dough recipe. Homemade Pizza Dough. Hope this helps!
I love alfredo sauce. I make a pretty good from-scratch alfredo sauce. But I always struggle translating that alfredo into pizza sauce- Alfredo is, simply put, oily/greasy thanks to the butter and cheese, and it always makes my pizzas more oily than I’d prefer. this one also suffered that curse, though it was much better than the ones I’ve made before… the ratios must be pretty bang on. I might keep tweaking to see if I can get it any better, perhaps fresh pizza dough will make a difference, and I seldom have the time for that. I *will* try… perfect alfredo pizza is a goal I will work toward, and this one is the closest I’ve come so far. Thank you!
I am glad it comes close!! Thanks so much!!
I love your pizza. I’m going to try this recipe to see if i can create the same delicious pizza.
I bet you could 🙂 Thanks!
Wow, this recipe is a game changer for pizza night at our house. i made it tonight and my husband wants it again tomorrow. even my picker eater preschooler had a second slice.
Yay!! Love hearing that!! Glad it was a hit 🙂

Thank you for sharing the recipe! I love that there are some spinach on the pizza.
Glad to share 🙂 The spinach tastes great on there! Thank you!
I love chicken alfredo and this pizza version of it looks amazing!
It is!! You have to try it 🙂 I’d love to know what you think!
This kind of pizza looks delicious!
I always love spinach on a pizza. It does not only taste good, it is also very healthy.
Yes 🙂 You will have to try this! It is so good!
That looks so good, I want to sink my teeth into a slice right now!
LOL!! Guess, you need to make it, so you can 🙂
I can’t ever resist chicken alfredo anything, especially pizza!
LOL..me either!! This was so delicious!! Thanks!
Chicken alfredo is my favorite, even better in pizza form!
I agree!!! Hope you try this 🙂 Thanks!
We loved YOUR chicken Alfredo pizza so much! It turned out perfect Thank! Thank you! But, I made so much we couldn’t eat it all, and it was too delicious to throw away, so I flash froze the remainder. Do you have instructions for reheating pizza from frozen! Again, thank you!
I am happy you do! That’s a good question..I’ve never stuck it in the freezer after baking. I’ve seen different suggestions on google, but it looks like a low temp 275 degrees for like 25-30 min is the best.
I followed this recipe exactly and I’ve been cooking for 30 years. I was embarrassed to feed this to my family. The sauce would not thicken. It was like pouring straight milk on the pizza. I let it cook a little longer before I put the second coating on and it still was so thin. The pizza came out soggy, falling apart and gross! I couldn’t bake it longer in hopes that it would thicken because the crusts were burning. This goes into my “Pinterest Fail” box!
I’m sorry this happened to you! I’m not sure what went wrong, if you followed the recipe exactly?? I will pass this along to my contributor. Thanks for letting me know!
I just wanted to let you know that I love your Alfredo sauce. I followed your directions exactly and then I let it cool in the fridge. It is delicious and a perfect consistency when I put it on my pizza. Thank you so much.
Oh thank you so much!! So so happy to hear you love the sauce!
The chicken alfredo pizza is delicious. My husband can’t have tomatoes so it’s nice to have a white sauce based pizza. Yum
So glad you liked it! We love Chicken Alfredo Pizza too. 😀
I love pizza, and this recipe looks spectacular!
