Artichoke Pesto Sun Dried Tomato Pizza With Three Cheeses Recipe

Inspired by a favorite pizza from my bartending days (but way healthier!), this Artichoke Pesto Sun-Dried Tomato Pizza is a flavor explosion! Three cheeses – mozzarella, parmesan, and creamy ricotta – blend perfectly with artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, and a vibrant basil pesto. A touch of red pepper flakes adds a delightful kick. Optional chicken makes it a complete meal, but it's equally delicious as a vegetarian delight. Get ready for a pizza experience that's both comforting and sophisticated!

How to Make Artichoke Pesto Sun Dried Tomato Pizza With Three Cheeses

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Prepare your pizza crust (homemade or store-bought, 12-inch). Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on the crust (optional).
  3. Layer the mozzarella cheese (1 cup, shredded) evenly over the crust.
  4. Sprinkle parmesan cheese (1/4 cup, grated) over the mozzarella.
  5. If using, distribute cooked chicken (1 cup, shredded or diced) over the parmesan.
  6. Arrange artichoke hearts (1/2 cup, marinated, drained) on top of the chicken (or directly on the cheese if vegetarian).
  7. Scatter sun-dried tomatoes (1/4 cup, oil-packed, drained) evenly across the pizza.
  8. Dollop ricotta cheese (1/2 cup) evenly over the pizza.
  9. Sprinkle red pepper flakes (1/4 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon, to taste) over the pizza.
  10. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown, and the crust is cooked through.
  11. Remove from oven and drizzle with 2-3 tablespoons of pesto sauce.
  12. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
