Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

Sauce

  • ½ cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Toppings

  • 6 slices bacon, cooked crispy and chopped
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, chopped or shredded
  • 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

Finishing

  • Olive oil for brushing (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Dough: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for a perfect crispy crust. Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet for baking.
  2. Brush with Olive Oil: Optionally, lightly brush the surface of the dough with olive oil to help create a golden, crispy crust during baking.
  3. Spread Alfredo Sauce: Evenly spread the ½ cup of Alfredo sauce over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow during baking.
  4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the chopped crispy bacon and cooked chicken evenly over the Alfredo sauce to distribute flavors throughout the pizza.
  5. Top with Cheese: Generously scatter 1 ½ cups of shredded mozzarella cheese over the toppings, covering the pizza to ensure a melty, cheesy finish.
  6. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for a pop of color and fresh flavor. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use store-bought or homemade pizza dough depending on your preference and time constraints.
  • Cooking bacon until crispy enhances texture and flavor.
  • Homemade Alfredo sauce can be substituted for a richer taste.
  • For extra flavor, add garlic powder or Italian herbs to the sauce before spreading.
  • Ensure oven is fully preheated to get a crispy crust.
  • Let pizza cool for a few minutes after baking to set the cheese for easier slicing.
  • Leftover pizza can be refrigerated and reheated in an oven or air fryer for best results.
