This is the best homemade white pizza sauce ever!

White pizza sauce is an insanely easy recipe that you can try out today to really level up your pizza game. This garlic butter sauce is made with a few simple ingredients and only requires a few minutes of hands on work. 

For the best results you’ll notice that we are using raw garlic instead of garlic powder to really allow that flavor to shine through.

This sauce is great for pizza but can also be used to make a homemade cheese garlic bread for game time snacks and can even be used as a dipping sauce for fresh bread or even vegetable sticks. It is rich, creamy, savory, and perfect for any cheese and garlic lovers alike!

What’s so special about this sauce recipe?

This garlic pizza sauce is one for the books and here is why! 

  • It is a super creamy garlic sauce.
  • We packed it with cheese for an extra cheesy pizza sauce.
  • It was a delicious garlicky flavor. 
  • Comes together in only a few minutes and goes so well with most of your favorite toppings.
  • Doesn’t contain all the preservatives that store bought white pizza sauce has. 

What is white pizza sauce?

A white creamy pizza sauce as any may or may not know is a pizza sauce with a cream base instead of a red tomato sauce. It resembles an Alfredo sauce quite a lot and creates some amazing pizza flavors especially if you play around with your pizza toppings. 

Ever since I made this parmesan sauce recipe, it has become a staple sauce for us garlic lovers. Now everyone asks for one white pizza and one red. So we make both in order to keep everyone happy and satisfied.

White pizza topping ideas

When you make your white pizza sauce, the topping possibilities are endless. Here are a few toppings I like:

  • Veggies :Mushroom, spinach, kale, artichoke, extra roasted garlic cloves, a balsamic arugula salad after baking your pizza. Adding vegetables to a white cheese pizza  is a great way to up the fiber and vitamins to one of your favorite dishes ever
  • Meats: Grilled chicken breast, bacon, pepperoni, cooked shrimp. This is a great way to up your protein when making pizza to make it even more filling and satisfying. 
  • More Cheese: Fresh mozzarella, shredded mozzarella, parmesan. This is one great way to make one of those 5 cheese pizzas that you find at your local grocery stores.
  • Extra herbs and seasonings – Adding Italian seasoning, fresh basil, red pepper flakes, and even oregano would make this pizza out of this world delicious!

How to store this cheesy garlic sauce?

This garlic pizza sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
