Bacon and Spinach Alfredo Pizza

Bacon Spinach Alfredo Pizza – creamy white Alfredo sauce flavored with bacon and spinach gives a delicious unconventional twist on traditional pizza…it’s what’s for dinner tonight!

Does your family love pizza as much as mine?  This recipe for Bacon Spinach Alfredo Pizza is different than the traditional pizza recipes I usually make for my family. And let me tell you, it was so good!

But I decided to try something new and it came out really good. I usually make my homemade beer dough pizza recipe for our weekly pizza night. However for this recipe I used the same refrigerated pizza dough like I do for my Pizza and Pepperoni Braid Recipe.

  • Pizza stone – I only make pizza using a stone. If you don’t have one, use a baking sheet lined with Parchment Baking Sheets. The parchment paper will help crisp up the pizza dough.
  • Rolling pin – a traditional rolling pin or even a pastry rolling pin will work great.
  • Pizza Wheel Cutter

Ingredients

Exact measurements are listed below in the recipe card. Make sure you scroll down to print and save the recipe for later!

  • Refrigerated Pizza Crust – I used a tube of Pillsbury Pizza Dough
  • Fresh Baby Spinach Leaves – I do think using fresh spinach makes this recipe taste best, BUT it’s okay if all you have is frozen! Make sure you squeeze as much water out of it as possible after pre-cooking in the microwave.
  • Bacon -cooked and chopped
  • Garlic – I like to use fresh garlic cloves, but if all you have is garlic powder, that works too!
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Jar of Alfredo Pasta Sauce
  • Mozzarella cheese – shredded

Directions

Step 1: Roll out the Refrigerated Pizza Dough

Use a rolling pin to get the dough pressed out into all the corners.  Then use the back of a fork to poke holes in the dough so it doesn’t bubble up when you pre-bake the pizza dough.

Bake for 10 minutes in a preheated 425 degree oven or until the crust is lightly browned.

Step 2: Cook the Fresh Baby Spinach

Place the spinach and two crushed garlic cloves in a microwave-safe bowl.
Cover and cook on high for 2 to 5 minutes or until the spinach is wilted.

Place the cooked spinach in a sieve and push the extra moisture/water out. You can also squeeze the spinach dry using paper towels. Try to get as much of the moisture out of the cooked spinach.

Step 3: Assemble the Bacon Spinach Alfredo Pizza

Combine half the bacon with the Alfredo sauce and pour over the bottom of the pre-baked pizza crust.

Step 8: What to Serve with Pizza

Serve either of these fresh salads to complete your meal:

  • German Creamy Cucumber Salad
  • Fiesta Corn Salad
  • A simple tossed salad with Homemade Italian Salad Dressing would be nice alongside as well.
