White Pizza

White pizza skips the tomato sauce entirely, replacing it with a garlic-olive oil base, ricotta, béchamel, or nothing at all — just great cheese on great dough. Without the acidity and sweetness of tomatoes, the flavor profile shifts toward rich, creamy, and savory territory.

The best white pizzas use that richness as a canvas for toppings that would get lost under red sauce: truffle oil, wilted spinach, roasted garlic, fresh herbs, and delicate cheeses like fontina or burrata. It's also where bitter greens like broccoli rabe and arugula really shine — their sharpness cuts through the cream.

The generator below is preset with a garlic béchamel base. Dial in your flavor preferences and let the engine pair toppings that complement a sauceless build.

What's On It

Garlic Béchamel/White

Velvety garlic-infused white sauce that provides a creamy, savory canvas for rich toppings.

Ricotta

Light, fluffy whey cheese dolloped in clouds that add milky sweetness and textural contrast.

Fontina

Nutty, buttery Alpine cheese that melts beautifully and pairs with earthy, rich toppings.

Roasted Garlic

Frequently Asked Questions

What is white pizza sauce made of? +
The most common white pizza sauces are garlic béchamel (butter, flour, milk, garlic), ricotta mixed with olive oil, or simply olive oil brushed on the dough with minced garlic. Some versions use no sauce at all, letting the cheese melt directly on the crust.
What cheese goes on white pizza? +
Ricotta (dolloped), mozzarella (for melt and stretch), and Parmigiano-Reggiano (for umami) are the classic trio. Fontina, Gruyère, and goat cheese also work well. The key is using at least one cheese with strong flavor since there's no tomato sauce contributing acidity.
Is white pizza healthier than red pizza? +
Not necessarily. White pizza often has more fat from olive oil, cream sauces, and extra cheese. Tomato sauce is low in calories and high in lycopene. The healthiest pizza is whichever one uses quality ingredients in reasonable amounts.
