# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like your favorite pasta dish crashed into pizza night and somehow made everything better.
  • The creamy Alfredo keeps the crust soft in the center while the edges crisp up perfectly.
  • You can have it on the table in just over half an hour, even on a weeknight.
  • It uses simple ingredients you probably already have, or can grab quickly from the store.
02 -
  • If your Alfredo sauce is too thin, it will make the crust soggy, so look for a thick, creamy consistency or simmer it down a bit first.
  • Don't skip brushing the dough with olive oil, it's a small step that makes a big difference in texture and flavor.
  • Let the pizza rest for a minute after baking so the cheese sets slightly and doesn't slide off when you cut it.
03 -
  • Use a pizza peel and a little cornmeal to slide the pizza onto a hot stone without sticking or tearing the dough.
  • If you love garlic, brush the crust edge with garlic butter halfway through baking for an extra hit of flavor.
  • For a lighter version, use part-skim mozzarella and a lighter Alfredo, it's still creamy and satisfying.
