Creamy Chicken Alfredo Pizza combines the indulgence of creamy Alfredo sauce with the comforting bite of golden, oven-baked pizza. This irresistible fusion starts with a crisp-yet-tender crust, brushed with olive oil and a hint of garlic for depth. Then comes a rich Alfredo base, layered with tender, seasoned chicken and fresh baby spinach. Topped with a luscious blend of mozzarella and Parmesan, every bite is a perfect mix of creamy, cheesy, and savory flavors.
While traditional Alfredo originated in early 20th-century Rome, it has since inspired countless creative dishes. This pizza is a delicious example of that evolution — blending Italian roots with an American love for pizza night. Whether you’re making it for a family dinner, game day gathering, or a cozy night in, this recipe delivers a crowd-pleasing flavor in under 30 minutes.
With its upscale taste and simple preparation, Creamy Chicken Alfredo Pizza might just become your new favorite way to enjoy two beloved classics in one bite.
Recipe Yield: 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
1 lb pizza dough, at room temperature
1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
1 cup Alfredo sauce (homemade or store-bought)

½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
½ cup baby spinach leaves
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat and prepare:
Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone.
2. Season the base:
Brush dough lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle garlic powder evenly over the surface for a savory base layer.
3. Add Alfredo layer:
Spread Alfredo sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
4. Layer chicken and spinach:
Evenly distribute shredded chicken and spinach over the sauce. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
5. Top with cheeses:
Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the pizza, followed by Parmesan for extra richness. Add crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
6. Bake to perfection:
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until crust is golden and cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve and enjoy:
Remove from oven, let rest for 2 minutes, then slice and serve hot.
Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Use Fresh Dough: Freshly made or store-bought refrigerated dough gives the best soft yet crispy crust.
- Pre-Cook Chicken: Ensure chicken is fully cooked and seasoned before topping to prevent a bland bite.
- Don’t Overload Toppings: Too much sauce or cheese can weigh down the crust and make it soggy.
