    This artichoke pizza is super delicious and it’s so much lighter and fresher than your average take out pizza making it perfect for spring/summer or whenever you want to turn pizza night up a notch!

    I love recipes like this because you can eyeball the measurements, swap ingredients and pick and choose the cheese and veggies you like according to your preferences. 

    The crust for this pizza is super crispy and is made entirely in a stand mixer so it’s super easy and can even be made in advance and frozen. Make sure to check out all the helpful tips and tricks below and if you’re looking for more delicious pizza recipes for your pizza night check out our Burrata Pizza or Tomato Pizza they’re some of my favorites!

    WHAT YOU’LL NEED FOR THIS RECIPE

    An overhead shot of ingredients you need to make artichoke pizza

    Water: It really helps to use warm water to speed up the proofing process but make sure it’s not too hot or it’ll prevent the yeast from working. Lukewarm is just fine.

    Garlic: Fresh garlic is essential for this recipe because it’s made into the most delicious yet simple garlic oil that’s brushed all over the pizza base. This gives the pizza incredible flavor and you won’t achieve the same taste with ground or garlic powder.

    Arugula: Arugula is a little bitter and peppery but it’s super delicious and goes so well with the creamy goat’s cheese and sweet cherry tomatoes. If you’re not a fan you can leave it out or replace it with salad greens you do like.

    Pro tips for making this recipe

    • If you’re not a fan of goats cheese you can swap it for any cheese you like such as mozzarella, blue cheese, fontina cheese or shredded sharp cheddar.
    • Jarred or canned artichoke are super easy and convenient to use but you can use fresh and prepared artichokes or frozen, just make sure to thaw them completely first.
    • Don’t skip the garlic oil base because it adds a ton of flavor!
    • If you’d like some extra flavor in your crust you could add rosemary, thyme or oregano to the dough after the flour and they will infuse during proofing and baking!
    • The pizza dough can be made a few days in advance but let it prove in the fridge if you aren’t using it the same day.
    • You can also freeze prepared pizza dough and thaw it when you want to make pizzas, try making a big batch and freezing half of it!
    • Feel free to switch the toppings up to your liking by adding different veggies or even slices of prosciutto or salami.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is this artichoke pizza healthy?

    This is not a pizza that’s overindulgent and full of cheese. It’s topped with beautiful fresh ingredients so it is definitely healthier than ordering take out. If you want to make this pizza even lighter you could swap the garlic oil for tomato sauce instead.

    How do I get a crispy pizza base?

    The trick to ensuring your pizza has a super crispy base is to lightly grease the baking tray with oil. Also make sure to pre-heat the oven so it’s nice and hot for baking the pizza.

    How do I store the leftovers?

    Leftover pizza will last well stored in the fridge for 3-4 days or you can freeze it. Just make sure to thaw the pizza completely before serving.
