Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this pizza because it brings together all the best Greek-inspired flavors on a comforting, crispy base. The roasted garlic adds richness without overpowering the other ingredients, while the spinach and feta give it a fresh, savory punch. It’s a great way to enjoy pizza with a lighter, brighter profile, and it always feels a little more gourmet than your average slice.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)

• Olive oil

• Whole garlic bulb (for roasting)

• Fresh spinach

• Ricotta or cream cheese (for the white base)

• Mozzarella cheese (shredded)

• Feta cheese (crumbled)

• Parmesan cheese (optional)

• Dried oregano or Italian herbs

• Salt and pepper

• Red pepper flakes (optional)

• Cornmeal or flour (for dusting the baking surface)

Directions

1. I preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), slice the top off a garlic bulb, drizzle with olive oil, wrap it in foil, and roast for 35–40 minutes until soft and golden.

2. While the garlic roasts, I sauté the spinach in a little olive oil until wilted, then season lightly with salt and pepper. I let it cool and squeeze out any excess moisture.

3. I turn the oven up to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

4. I roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface, then carefully transfer it to a sheet of parchment dusted with cornmeal.

5. I mash the roasted garlic and mix it with ricotta (or cream cheese), then spread that over the dough as the white sauce base.

6. I layer on the sautéed spinach, mozzarella, feta, and a sprinkle of parmesan if I’m using it. I finish with a dash of dried oregano and red pepper flakes.

7. I transfer the pizza with the parchment onto the hot stone or baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

8. Once out of the oven, I let it cool for a minute before slicing and serving.

Servings and timing

This recipe serves 2–4 people and takes about 1 hour total — including roasting the garlic, prepping the toppings, and baking the pizza.

Variations

Sometimes I add thin slices of red onion or chopped kalamata olives for extra Greek flavor. For more protein, I’ve added grilled chicken or crumbled lamb sausage. I also swap in arugula or kale instead of spinach depending on what I have on hand. A drizzle of balsamic glaze after baking gives it a delicious tangy finish.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftover slices in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I bake them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until hot and crisp again. The microwave works in a pinch, but the crust stays best when reheated in the oven or air fryer.

FAQs

Can I use pre-roasted garlic?

Yes, if I have store-bought roasted garlic or leftovers, I use that to save time. It mixes perfectly into the white sauce.

What kind of dough works best?

I usually use homemade or fresh store-bought pizza dough. Thin crust or traditional both work well for this style.

Can I make this pizza ahead of time?

I prep the toppings and roast the garlic ahead, then assemble and bake the pizza fresh when I’m ready to serve.

Is it okay to use frozen spinach?

Yes, I thaw it and squeeze out as much liquid as possible before adding it to the pizza.

Can I grill this pizza?

Definitely. I grill the dough on one side, flip it, then add the toppings and finish grilling until the cheese melts.
