# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes like your favorite Alfredo pasta but with a crispy, golden crust you can eat with your hands.
  • The creamy sauce and melted cheese create a rich, restaurant quality flavor without leaving the house.
  • It comes together in just 35 minutes, making it perfect for busy weeknights or last minute gatherings.
02 -
  • Don't skip preheating the pizza stone, it makes a huge difference in crust texture and prevents a soggy bottom.
  • Use cooked, cooled chicken so it doesn't release moisture onto the pizza and make the crust limp.
  • Leave that half inch border around the edge, it puffs up beautifully and gives you a proper crust to hold onto.
03 -
  • Brush the crust edge with garlic butter before baking for an extra layer of flavor that tastes bakery made.
  • Let the pizza rest for 2 minutes after baking so the cheese sets slightly and doesn't slide off when you slice it.
  • If your Alfredo sauce is thick, thin it with a tablespoon of milk or cream so it spreads easily without tearing the dough.
