White pizza, also known as “Pizza Bianca,” skips the traditional tomato sauce for a creamy, cheesy base, letting the flavors of garlic, herbs, and savory toppings shine. This style of pizza has been around for centuries, originating from Italian bakeries that baked simple cheese-covered flatbreads before tomato sauce became popular.
So, if you’re ready to take your pizza game to the next level, this flavor-packed, herby, and cheesy white pizza is just what you need. Serve it up hot, and watch it disappear in minutes!
Now, let’s get baking!

Recipe Yield: 1 large pizza (serves 4–6)
INGREDIENTS
1 lb pizza dough
1 ½ cups cooked chicken, shredded (or finely chopped for a chunkier texture)
⅓ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 ¾ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 whole head garlic
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
¾ cup ricotta cheese
⅓ cup heavy cream
¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
1 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
¾ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Roast the garlic: Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice the top off the garlic head, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 35–40 minutes until soft. Let cool, then squeeze out the cloves and mash into a smooth paste.
2. Make the white sauce: In a bowl, whisk together ricotta, heavy cream, Parmesan, mashed roasted garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
3. Roll out the dough: Stretch the pizza dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone, leaving a small border for the crust.
4. Assemble the pizza: Spread the white sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese, followed by shredded chicken and oregano. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil for extra crispiness.
5. Bake: Transfer to 475°F oven and bake for 12–15 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
6. Finish & serve: Top with fresh basil and crushed red pepper flakes for a bold kick. Slice and enjoy while hot!
HELPFUL TIPS TO PERFECT THIS RECIPE
- Use high-quality dough: Let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before rolling out for easier handling.
- Balance the cheese: Mozzarella gives the classic melt, Parmesan adds sharpness, and ricotta creates creaminess. Don’t skip any!
- Extra crispy crust: Bake directly on a preheated pizza stone for the ultimate crunch.
