Ingredients You Need

Ingredients for Creamy White Pizza including ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, dough, and fresh herbs

This White Pizza ingredient list is all about bold flavors that actually work together! Here’s what you’ll grab during your normal grocery trip to build your dream cream sauce pizza:

  • 1 ball (14 oz) pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese – creamy and dreamy, a must for a ricotta cheese pizza lover
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese – the perfect melty blanket
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese – for sharp, salty jazziness
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream – the base of our luscious white sauce pizza
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced – because garlic cheese pizza is life
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil – adds richness and that warm aroma
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt – balances flavors perfectly
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper – gives just the right bite
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional) – my fave herb boost for that earthy hit

No worries if you don’t have heavy cream – I often swap it with whole milk mixed with a bit of flour to keep it creamy in my White Pizza. For a shortcut, you can grab pre-minced garlic and pre-shredded cheese to save time on your weeknight flavor adventure!

For keeping your ingredients fresh (especially ricotta cheese!), store leftover portions wrapped tightly in the fridge. This White Pizza gets its amazing taste from the creamy sauce and rich cheeses working together — that white sauce pizza magic you don’t want to miss.

Let’s Make Some!

Alright fellow food lovers, let’s jump into the delicious magic of making your own White Pizza! This is where the kitchen comes alive.

  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). In my kitchen, this White Pizza usually takes about 20 minutes from start to finish, so everything’s quick for busy nights!
  2. Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Don’t worry if your White Pizza looks imperfect—uneven edges mean extra crusty bites!
  3. Make the white sauce: Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant — your kitchen will smell incredible right now! Slowly whisk in heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens slightly (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat and mix in parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  4. Spread the sauce generously over your dough. This is your creamy canvas, a key moment in building that bold white sauce pizza flavor.
  5. Spoon dollops of ricotta cheese onto the sauce, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the top. This gets that ricotta cheese pizza vibe—rich, luscious, and totally satisfying.
  6. If you’re feeling adventurous, add fresh rosemary or thyme for a flavor twist that makes your White Pizza stand out at any gathering.
  7. Bake on a pizza stone or sheet tray for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden and cheese is bubbling. Your White Pizza smells like heaven right now—get ready to dig in!

Sometimes, I speed things up by prepping the white sauce the day before, storing it in the fridge, and just assembling when the day calls for a quick dinner. Easy, creamy, and done!
