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!
