  • Very cheesy! I added a pinch of Maldon Salt to the top before serving. It definitely enhanced the flavor.

  • Would it be possible to make this into a sandwich?

  • I made this recipe and my husband was skeptical saying he "did not like white pizzas". Boy did he change his tune!! I tripled the garlic (added 3 cloves) to the olive oil. I left out the goat cheese as I did not think it needed it. But I did add mushrooms, artichoke hearts, and small bits of broccoli. DELIC!!! I will be making this one again for sure.

  • Okay, the ingredient list calls for basil, but the recipe does not tell you when to use it!

  • This was tasty and easy, though I agree with the other reviewer that the goat cheese overpowered a bit. I also felt the pizza a bit simple and could have used some additional greens or mushrooms.

  • I just made this for a fall weekend away with friends, and it was delicious! Used Trader Joe's pizza dough, spread the ricotta on the bottom, followed by goat cheese and mozzarella. Added thinly sliced roast pesto chicken I had on hand, then topped with the parmesan and a chiffonade of fresh basil, and baked it on a pizza stone. Turned out great, will definitely make this again.

  • Was looking for something easy to throw together. This was really nice. Didn't have goat cheese. Didn't miss it. Added parboiled asparagus, kalamata olives & artichoke hearts. Grated Black pepper before putting in the oven. Lots of Garlic and LOTS of FRESH Basil. Really nice meal. Served with arugula and poached pear salad.

  • This was the perfect cheese pizza. I used a pre-made crust from my local co-op and used neufchatel cheese instead of ricotta. I LOVE garlic so use 2-3 cloves. Turned out amazing and has become a recipe staple in my house.

  • First time making a white cheese pizza. I used a pizza dough from a local pizza restaurant. Everyone gave it a great review, no left overs!

  • Grilled this pizza on the barbeque vs baking it in the oven and it turned out marvelous. I ravaged my basil plant the day before, so opted to use chopped fresh rosemary from the garden instead - still great. Making the garlic infused oil is a must! Will be making this for company this weekend with the addition of figs and a drizzle of reduced balsamic vinegar. Did I say yum??

  • I forgot to mention that, growing up in NJ, I was always fond of white pizza. I moved away and NEVER had a "white pie" as good as home. This recipe certainly competes as one of the best white pizzas I've made. The fact that I made it myself was icing on the cake. I agree with other reviewers that 1) the garlic oil makes it, and 2) Trader Joe's pizza dough works well.

  • I left out the goat cheese and this was still just flat amazing. Would certainly make again.

  • The garlic and oil makes the entire recipe for me! I added a few handfuls of chopped spinach (which I buzzed the the food processor with the basil). I would consider fresh mozz or even thinly sliced roma tomatoes for something different. Best white pizza I've had! Highly recommended.

  • Maybe a tad heavy on the ricotta, but excellent otherwise. I will definitely make it again (with spinach).

  • This is good, but I found the goat cheese to be slightly overpowering. Next time I will reduce the goat cheese to 1.5 oz and increase the mozzarella to 8 oz.
