Cheese Pizza with White Sauce

This creamy garlic white pizza sauce satisfies all your cheesy cravings. It creates a base from some amazing pizza flavors especially if you play around with your pizza toppings.

Yummy and Versatile

A white pizza sauce is a pizza sauce with a cream base instead of a red tomato sauce. Great for a vegetable pizza, meat pizza, pasta, and so much more. When I make this creamy white sauce, we often use it for pizza but that’s not the only way to use it. We also like using it as a dip for breadsticks, top on chicken, Swedish meatballs. or chicken and broccoli with Fettucine.

Notes

Pro Tip: For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a pinch of dried herbs like oregano or basil to the sauce while whisking in the garlic. This will infuse your white pizza sauce with an aromatic essence that complements the richness of the cheese beautifully.
Variation: If you’re looking to switch things up, experiment with different types of cheese to customize the flavor of your white pizza sauce. Substitute the parmesan with asiago or mozzarella for a slightly different taste profile. You can also try mixing in a tablespoon of cream cheese for added creaminess and tanginess. Don’t be afraid to get creative and make this sauce your own!
