Ingredients
Scale
1 pre-made or homemade pizza dough (14-inch)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
5 oz fresh spinach or 1 cup frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
½ cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Optional: red pepper flakes, olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheat.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add spinach and cook until wilted, then stir in chopped artichokes. Remove from heat.
Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface to desired thickness and transfer to parchment or a pizza peel.
Spread ricotta cheese over the dough, leaving a border for the crust.
Top with the spinach and artichoke mixture, then sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan.
Season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
Bake for 12–15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
Let cool slightly, slice, and serve. Optional: drizzle with olive oil before serving.
Notes
Substitute fontina or provolone for mozzarella for extra flavor.
Use garlic-infused oil on the crust for more depth.
Reheat leftovers in a 400°F oven for 5–7 minutes to maintain crispiness.
