WHAT IS ARTICHOKE PIZZA?
Traditionally, an artichoke pizza contains a golden pizza crust topped with creamy mozzarella and artichokes marinated with hints of garlic, lemon and herbs. This pizza is a wonderful blend of Alfredo white pizza with spinach and artichoke pizza. Spinach Artichoke Pizza tastes like the best of both worlds, in one rich cheesy pizza!
Spinach and artichokes together are one of my very favorite flavor combos. It works with so many different types of ingredients. To make Chicken Alfredo Spinach Pizza, just add shredded chicken. You can even add mushrooms if you prefer more vegetables.
The great thing about this recipe is that you can truly customize it to your liking. Depending on your dietary restrictions, you can simply choose whichever pizza crust you enjoy most. Want a crust that is higher in protein and fiber? Make your own cauliflower crust! If you prefer to use store-bought because it is easier and faster, that is absolutely fine, too!
One suggestion that I will firmly make, however, is that you grate your own cheese for this recipe. It just melts better and tastes better. See for yourself in this post about Why You Should Grate your own Cheese.

IS SPINACH PIZZA HEALTHY?
Spinach is one of the most requested pizza toppings. High in the vitamin folate, which promotes blood circulation in your brain. Did you know that consuming one daily serving of spinach can slow down cognitive decline in the elderly because it also contains vitamin K? It’s true!
Raw, frozen or fresh spinach can be used in pizza recipes. Fresh spinach is generally sautéd before adding to pizza, as raw can sometimes get slimy if not properly added to the dish. Frozen spinach is blanched before it’s packaged, meaning it’s cooked quickly before freezing. This gives it a super satisfying texture when topped on a pizza: lightly crunchy and almost fluffy. If you choose to use frozen spinach, make sure you thaw it and squeeze the moisture out of it before using it on your pizza.
