The perfect white pizza. Creamy, comforting, and easy to make!

Skip to recipe.

I grew up a pretty strict cheese pizza with red sauce type of person. I remember a couple of years ago my husband finally made me try a white pizza. As much as I hate to admit it, I loved it. It was at a pizza place in Brooklyn and it had a ricotta base, spinach, onions, and a rich garlic flavor. While I’m still partial to our classic cheese, I have been really wanting to recreate that pizza and I think I really nailed it with this one. Let me know what you think!

Ingredient details:

• Yeast – I use Fleischmann’s Rapid Rise yeast for this dough.

• Water – Get the water very warm before mixing with the yeast. Your dough will be extra happy!

• Flour – I always use King Arthur.

• Silken tofu – Make sure to get silken tofu and not firm tofu. The texture is much more like ricotta to me this way.

• Spinach – Definitely use fresh spinach for this recipe.

• Onion – I used a yellow onion and cut it in long slices.

• Garlic – I used 8 cloves for this recipe. I just love a garlic-y white pizza!

• Vegan Mozzarella – I used Violife, but I’d also be interested to try Miyoko’s mozzarella wheel with this recipe. Use your favorite mozzarella and sprinkle it on top before baking!

• Nutritional Yeast – I use this to make the ricotta. You really only need a little bit in my opinion. I don’t like my recipes to be too nutritional yeast heavy, but feel free to add more if you love the flavor! Just be careful to not dye your riccotta mixture yellow or you’ll be eating yellow pizza.

• Seasonings: onion powder, salt, Italian seasoning.
