Make this rich, creamy white pizza sauce at home in just 10 minutes. This recipe delivers restaurant-style flavor using simple ingredients, making it the best alternative to store-bought options for your homemade pizza night.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown.
  2. Whisk in the flour to the melted butter and garlic mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute to create a roux.
  3. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and milk until the mixture is smooth. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
  5. Use this creamy white pizza sauce immediately as the base for your homemade pizza.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use roasted garlic instead of fresh minced garlic.
  • This sauce works well as a base for chicken pizza or spinach white sauce pizza.
  • Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
