Delicious Rich White Garlic Pizza Sauce for Flavorful Meals

Late one night, after my family game night wrapped up, I found myself standing in the kitchen, craving something bold and comforting. I reached for my usual cans and jars only to realize I had no pizza sauce left. The fridge had some cream, garlic, and a few basics, so in true Nyla fashion, I started whisking together what would become my signature White Garlic Pizza Sauce!

It began as a happy accident that transformed our pizza night into a flavor party. The creamy garlic pizza sauce was rich and velvety, with a garlicky punch that made every bite a celebration. When my friends took their first taste during our next potluck, their eyes lit up—they were hooked!

Ingredients for White Garlic Pizza Sauce laid out on a table

Here’s the bold flavor team behind the White Garlic Pizza Sauce magic:

  • 1 cup heavy cream (Grab this in the dairy aisle; I use it for that silky texture)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (Butter adds richness—don’t skip it!)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced (I love this garlic punch—it makes the sauce sing!)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (Freshly grated for max flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (This thickens the sauce beautifully)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (Adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (To balance the creaminess)
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano (You can swap with Italian seasoning for a herbal twist)

No worries if you don’t have heavy cream handy—I sometimes use half-and-half for a lighter version, and it works well in my White Garlic Pizza Sauce. If fresh Parmesan is elusive, a good-quality pre-grated bag from the store will step up your sauce.

For busy weeknights, I often mince garlic in advance and keep it frozen in ice cube trays. This shortcut keeps the bold flavor fresh and ready for those spontaneous pizza cravings.

This White Garlic Pizza Sauce gets its amazing taste from that perfect garlic-to-cream ratio paired with cheese and butter goodness. I love adding an extra dash of red pepper flakes when I want it to hit that next level of excitement.

Keep your sauce airtight in a jar in the fridge. It stays fresh for about 3 days—perfect for turning leftovers into a pizza night or a creamy garlic dip!
