My Take on White Pizza

ByMaureen Published On

I discovered white pizza the first time we went to New York City.  None of us had ever had white pizza before, and who doesn’t love a cheesy pizza, so we gave it a try.  I was hooked!

White Pizza

I tried to find a white pizza at our local pizzerias when we got home. While I found some that were called “white pizza”  they really were not like the ones we had in New York.  I just had to try to make it myself.  And, while my take on white pizza one isn’t exactly the same, it’s easy enough to make using mozzarella, ricotta, olive oil, a drizzle of honey and dried oregano.  

Since I am completely helpless when it comes to pizza crust I use a bakery made flat bread for the crust.  A light brushing of olive oil and a couple of tablespoons of ranch dressing is spread on the crust. Top it off with the mozzarella and ricotta cheeses and a sprinkle of oregano.

The family loved it almost as much as the one we had in New York!

White Pizza

In my opinion, white pizza is all about the cheese, so choosing good quality is a must. A smooth creamy ricotta, a sprinkling of pizza mozzarella gives this pizza all it’s cheesy goodness!

My take on White Pizza

Just look at the cheesy goodness.  Every bite of gooey mozzarella and creamy ricotta brings me right back to New York City!

The best part of homemade is that I can pile on as much cheese as I like! I have posted my recipe below, but honestly using these basic ingredients listed, you can customize your pizza exactly how you like it!

White Pizza made on flatbread with ricotta, mozzarella and drizzled with honey.

  • ¾ cup ricotta cheese
  • honey
  • 1 teaspoon oregano (optional)

Instructions

  • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the ranch dressing. Using a spoon, drop dots of ricotta cheese over the mozzarella. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with oregano.

  • Remove from oven, let sit for a few minutes before cutting into slices or squares and serving.

Notes

Use more or less mozzarella cheese, as per your liking.  I don’t even measure it anymore, and just sprinkle on a nice thick layer of cheese!

    3. So white pizza is just white cheese? We call that adult pizza here LOL…We thought by calling it adult pizza the kids would be turned off by it and would eat the pepperoni ones we brought home (instead of the white)…LO AND BEHOLD..they ate ours first then worked on theirs!! After two attempts we finally broke down and ONLY ORDERED WHITE pizzas after that …two, cus one for us, one for them LOL

    4. Your white pizza sounds delicious! I love ricotta on pizza. In fact, I just posted about how to make your own and will be posting a recipe next week about a spinach and ricotta pizza. You know what they say, “Great minds think alike.” 🙂 Pinned!
