The secret to white pizza
Cheese, cheese and more cheese! Because this is a tomato sauce-less pizza, you need cheese to add moisture to the crust. Creamy feta, tangy Parmesan, mozzarella and provolone do the trick nicely in this yummy Gourmet White Pizza recipe. Yes, friends. FOUR types of cheese. This pizza is to die for!
What’s the best crust to use?
This is where the “easy” comes in this Easy White Pizza. For this recipe I used a pre-cooked naan pizza crust from Stonefire Flatbreads. This isn’t a sponsored post, but I just love Stonefire.
You can make your own homemade pizza crust, or use any kind of store-bought crust you like. This crust is just the right amount of thickness and since it was pre-cooked, I only had to bake this pizza for six minutes!
Topping Ideas
Typically, a white pizza is covered in tomatoes, garlic and veggies. For this pizza I used not one but two types of tomatoes: Roma and sun-dried.
The Roma were juicy and tangy and the sun-dried tomatoes provided a slightly sweet element to the delicious pizza. But just like any pizza, the sky’s the limit to what kind and how many toppings you use. Feel free to get creative!
Recipe Notes and Tips
- Leave some space around the edge of the pizza crust when you add the toppings.
- To get the cheese browned, once baked, you can place it under the broiler for a few minutes.
- Feel free to add whatever other toppings you like, the sky’s the limit!
This White Pizza has such a special place in my heart. It reminds of me of good times, great friends, and even better food. Make one or two for your loved ones this week! Enjoy!

I love I love this as I can’t eat red sauce. I love stone fire dough. Thanks!
Thanks for stopping by, Linda!
Made this for our anniversary dinner with homemade Caesar salad and the pizza was by far the better part! I usually do the herbed dough from TJ’s but just did a pillsbury crust because #covid. It was so dang good. I mixed the garlic, parm cheese, salt and pepper together at the beginning and used it for the base and on the outer crust. 10/10 would recommend!
Happy Anniversary! It sounds like you both had a wonderful night and a fantastic meal!
My hubby, 8 year old son and I loved this! My 5 year old still hates pizza even though she tried a piece lol. My 2 year old is on a trying things strike so yeah. ???? We made it for the first time today and added fresh basil to it after it was finished cooking. I combined step 2, 3 and 7 unknowingly because I didn’t read all the way through instructors first, lol. Plus, I have an 8, 5.5 and 2 year old and am very pregnant so just trying to get dinner on the table quickly. ???? Thank you though for this quick, easy delicious recipe!!
