Alternative Ingredients
If you do not have the ingredients I listed above, do not worry. You can swap them out for the alternatives below.
| Ingredient | Alternative Option |
|---|---|
| Pizza dough | Store-bought flatbread or naan |
| Alfredo sauce | Cream cheese mixed with garlic powder |
| Mozzarella cheese | Provolone or gouda |
| Parmesan cheese | Pecorino Romano |
| Spinach | Kale or arugula |
| Artichoke hearts | Mushrooms or roasted bell peppers |
| Olive oil | Butter or avocado oil |
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. If using store-bought flatbread, you can skip this step.
- Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Drizzle with olive oil and spread evenly.
- Spread the Alfredo sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the sauce.
- Evenly distribute the spinach and chopped artichoke hearts on top.
- Add the remaining cheese and sprinkle garlic powder and red pepper flakes over everything.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing.
- Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your homemade spinach and artichoke pizza.
Helpful Tips
- For an extra crispy crust, bake the pizza on a preheated pizza stone.
- If using fresh spinach, sauté it for a minute to remove excess moisture before adding it to the pizza.
- Want more flavor? Add some crumbled feta or goat cheese on top before baking.
- If you prefer a thinner crust, roll out the dough a little more and bake it for a minute or two longer.
- Don’t overload the toppings—too many wet ingredients can make the crust soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use store-bought pizza dough?
Yes, store-bought dough works just fine. Just make sure to let it come to room temperature before rolling it out to make it easier to work with.
Can I use frozen spinach?
Yes, but make sure to thaw and squeeze out any excess water before adding it to the pizza. Otherwise, it can make the pizza soggy.
What can I use instead of Alfredo sauce?
You can use cream cheese mixed with a little garlic powder and milk for a similar creamy base. Pesto or ricotta cheese also work well.
How do I make this pizza extra crispy?
Bake it on a preheated pizza stone or directly on the oven rack instead of a baking sheet. This helps the crust crisp up nicely.
