Our spinach and artichoke pizza is a quick and easy dinner for date night, game days, or any time you’re craving homemade pizza. Based on our creamy spinach artichoke dip, this pizza is cozy, comforting, and just a little bit decadent.

I know we’re not alone in thinking that spinach and artichoke make a great pairing. Whether it’s in a dip, a pizza, or a spinach and artichoke pasta, the salty, savory, and flavor-packed combination is always a winner. And probably our favorite way to eat veggies.

Key Ingredients

• Pizza dough – Over the years we’ve come to the conclusion that it’s always worth making pizza dough from scratch. It’s so little work for how much the flavor and texture is improved compared to store-bought options, especially thanks to our favorite cookbook, Flour Water Salt Yeast. If we can’t convince you to make dough from scratch though, we highly recommend buying pre-made dough from a local company which can normally be found at the grocery store. 
• Artichokes – We like to buy the canned quartered artichoke hearts and then chop them roughly for pizza toppings. Make sure to drain them and rinse them thoroughly to get rid of any excessive briney flavor.
• Sauce – We kept this recipe simple by replacing a traditional pizza sauce with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil and minced garlic. This provides the perfect amount of flavor and moisture while complimenting the pizza toppings perfectly.

How To Make Spinach and Artichoke Pizza

Step 1: Heat the garlic and olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat until fragrant.

Step 2: Add the chopped artichokes to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until they’re slightly softened.

Step 3: Add the spinach to the pan, working in batches if needed. Sauté until the spinach is wilted, then adjust salt and pepper to taste and remove from heat.

Step 4: In a small bowl, combine the mozzarella and parmesan and toss to combine.

Step 5: Stretch the dough out on a floured pizza pan, then top with a thin layer of extra virgin olive oil and some minced garlic. Add the cheese, then top with the sautéed spinach and artichokes.

Step 6: Bake the pizza until the crust is golden and crispy and the cheese is bubbly. Then, drizzle the pizza with olive oil, then top with extra grated parmesan and a pinch of sea salt before slicing and serving.

Serving Suggestions

• Date night pizza – Pizza is our favorite meal for any date night at home. And this pizza has the perfect feel for a date night. We love to serve it with some baked bruschetta dip and a gin basil mojito. 
• Game day pizza – This pizza also makes for a perfect game day dinner. Especially with a spread of other game day appetizers like our sweet vidalia onion dip and our garlic parmesan eggplant fries. 
• Small plates night – We’ve always both loved grazing through a night of small plates and other shared dishes. Whether it’s just dinner for two or a fun dinner party theme, we have plenty of shareable small plate recipes to try from such as patatas bravas and homemade pesto risotto.
