The inspiration for this dish:
We came up with the idea for this cheesy chicken pizza when we were about to order from Domino’s pizza. I thought, “Why buy pizza when we can make it at home, and it’ll be so much better and more customizable?” We started discussing what toppings to add, and since we had some chicken that needed to be used, we decided to make a chicken pizza. We love the combination of pineapple and chicken pizza, but we didn’t have any pineapple on hand, so we went with caramelized onions instead for a sweet and savory twist. Instead of using tomato sauce as a base (since we had tomato paste left over), we decided to make Alfredo sauce from scratch to create a rich, creamy foundation for our pizza. The result was a mini cheesy chicken pizza that was perfectly customizable, flavorful, and far better than anything we could have ordered!

List of Ingredients for a Chicken alfredo Pizza:
What ingredients do you need to make pizza dough?
- Water: Essential for activating the active dry yeast and helping the dough rise, creating a soft and chewy texture for your Alfredo chicken pizza crust.
- Active Dry Yeast: The key ingredient for leavening the dough, giving it a light, airy texture that forms the perfect base for your homemade pizza.
- Sugar: Helps activate the yeast by providing a food source, ensuring proper dough rise and a slightly sweet taste that complements the Alfredo sauce and chicken toppings.
- All-Purpose Flour: Provides structure and texture. All-purpose flour creates a soft, yet sturdy pizza crust that holds up well under the weight of Alfredo chicken pizza toppings.
- Butter: Adds richness and flavor to the dough, making it more tender and giving the crust a delicious golden finish when baked.

Different pizza toppings for your pizza:
If you want to stick with the Alfredo chicken pizza style but switch things up:
—Toppings: Swap chicken for steak strips, grilled shrimp, or roasted vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach. Instead of mozzarella cheese, try using cheddar, Colby jack or Parmesan.
—Sauce Options: Replace the Alfredo sauce with marinara sauce, tomato sauce, or even a pesto base for a fresh, herby twist.
For a completely different pizza style:
—Toppings: Add pepperoni, Italian sausage, pineapple for a Hawaiian vibe, or a blend of cheeses like parmesan, gorgonzola, or smoked gouda.
—Sauces: Experiment with BBQ sauce for a smoky flavor, buffalo sauce for some heat, or even a light garlic olive oil base for a simple and elegant touch.
Common questions on how to make chicken Alfredo pizza pie:
Do I have to cook the chicken before adding it to my pizza?
No, you don’t have to cook your chicken before adding it to your pizza, as long as you dice it small enough to ensure it cooks evenly in the oven. The heat from baking will fully cook the chicken while locking in its juiciness. However, using raw chicken requires careful preparation, so make sure it’s fresh and evenly distributed to avoid undercooking.
Do I need a pizza stone to make pizza?
No, you don’t need a pizza stone to bake your pizza. A regular baking pan or even a cast iron skillet works perfectly for making chicken pizza or any type of pizza. Just make sure to preheat your oven for a crispy crust.
How can I make equal portions of the dough so they look the same size?
To make equal portions of dough, use a kitchen scale to weigh each piece. This ensures that your pizza dough balls are uniform, leading to consistent sizes for mini pizzas or individual crusts.
First, weight the dough and divide that number for the number of pizzas you want.
What’s the best way to season my chicken for pizza?
For Alfredo chicken pizza, season your chicken with garlic powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, chili flakes, onion powder, pinch of sugar and a touch of salt for the perfect savory flavor. Add a drizzle of olive oil, freshly chopped parsley and lemon juice.
Can I make a gluten-free pizza dough?
Absolutely! Substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blends designed for baking. These work well for creating gluten-free chicken pizzas with Alfredo sauce and any toppings of your choice.
Can I freeze my pizza dough?
Yes, pizza dough freezes wonderfully. After the first rise, divide it into portions, wrap them tightly, and freeze. When you’re ready to make pizza, thaw it in the fridge overnight, and it’ll be ready to roll out.
Best tips on how to make chicken Alfredo pizza pie:
- Don’t cook the chicken before adding it to the pizza unless it’s too big. Make sure to dice the chicken small so it can cook on the oven at the same time as the dough this will ensure our chicken is not dry.
- If you are using pre cooked pizza dough, make sure to cook the chicken before adding it to the dough or it won’t have time to cook throughly.
- When you are making the Alfredo sauce, make sure to not bring the sauce to boil when adding the cheese or after adding it. If the cheese starts boiling it would split and have a grainy texture.
- Pre heat your oven at the right temperature.
How to garnish / decoration tips before serving:
Here are some presentation tips on how to serve this delicious pizza,
- Arrange every topping so they’re all visible.
- To garnish sprinkle chopped parsley on top, add basil leaves or chili flakes.
- Serve the mini pizzas in wood boards or plates for an elegant and rustic style.
How to caramelice onions:
To caramelize onions, slice them thinly and cook them in a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil or butter. Stir occasionally and let them cook slowly until they turn golden brown, in this case because we are only gonna caramelice one onion and we don’t want it fully caramelizad it’s gonna take about 25 minutes.

Step by step, make an Alfredo chicken pizza pie
1) step one, prepare the sponge
Begin by combining warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast in a mixing bowl. Stir gently, cover, and let the mixture sit for 15 minutes, or until it becomes foamy. This step ensures your yeast is activated, giving the dough its perfect rise for your homemade pizza dough.
2) step two, mix the dough ingredients
Add all-purpose flour, butter, salt, and a little more sugar to the foamy mixture. These ingredients work together to create the base of your soft and fluffy pizza crust.
3) step three, knead the dough
Knead the dough for 15–20 minutes, either by hand or with a stand mixer, until it’s smooth and elastic. Place it into a clean, oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest.
4) step four, first dough proof
Allow the dough to proof in a warm environment for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until it doubles in size. This step ensures a light and airy texture for your chicken Alfredo pizza crust.
5) step five, divide the dough
Divide the dough into 6 equal parts using a kitchen scale for precision. Roll each portion into a ball to create the base for your mini pizzas.
6) Step six, shape the dough and add cheese
Take one dough ball and roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Spread mozzarella cheese along the edges, fold the edges over the cheese, and transfer it to a greased baking pan. Brush the edges with a beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish when baked.
7) Step seven, make Caramelized Onions
Thinly slice one whole onion. Melt butter in a pan over medium-low heat and cook the onion slices until they become golden brown and soft. This adds a touch of sweetness and depth to your caramelized onion pizza.
8) step eight, prepare Alfredo sauce
In a pan over medium heat, melt butter and sauté crushed garlic until fragrant. Add heavy cream and evaporated milk, bringing it to a simmer for about 4 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese or mozzarella cheese until melted, and season with black pepper, nutmeg, and salt. This rich and creamy sauce is the perfect base for your Alfredo chicken pizza.
9) step nine, season the chicken
Dice the chicken into small cubes and season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, granulated sugar, fresh parsley, and chili flakes. Add olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. This flavorful chicken topping will complement the creamy Alfredo sauce.
10 ) Step ten, preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 392°F (200°C). A properly heated oven ensures your pizza cooks evenly and achieves that perfect golden crust.
11) step eleven, assemble and bake the pizza
Spread the Alfredo sauce over the pizza base, followed by mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Add caramelized onions, seasoned chicken, and fresh parsley for garnish. Bake in the oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
