What it is
This is a frozen pizza featuring a white sauce base, often made with cream or béchamel, topped with cheese and pieces of savory bacon. It offers a departure from traditional tomato-based pizzas, providing a richer and more decadent flavor profile. The crust is typically pre-baked to a certain degree, allowing for quick preparation at home. It comes ready to bake in its own packaging.

Preheat your oven according to the package instructions, usually to a moderate temperature. Remove the pizza from its packaging and place it directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for the time specified on the box, typically until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning. Once baked, let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike pizzas with a tomato sauce, this bianca pizza uses a white sauce, which offers a creamier and less acidic taste. The addition of bacon provides a salty, smoky, and slightly crispy element that complements the richness of the white sauce and cheese.
Who it is for
This pizza is for anyone seeking a flavorful and easy-to-prepare meal without the need for extensive cooking.
How to keep the rest
After baking, any leftover pizza should be cooled completely. Store the remaining slices in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Refrigerate promptly and consume within a few days for best quality. Reheat in the oven or a skillet for optimal texture.
