Frozen White Pizza
What it is
This is a frozen white pizza, a convenient meal option. It typically features a pre-made crust topped with a white sauce, cheese, and sometimes other toppings. The white sauce often uses ingredients like ricotta cheese, garlic, and olive oil, offering a different flavor profile than traditional tomato-based pizzas. It comes ready to bake, making it a quick choice for a meal.
How people cook with it
Frozen white pizza is a versatile option that can be enjoyed as a main course or a shared appetizer. It's perfect for busy weeknights or when you need a simple yet satisfying meal.

- Party appetizer
- Snack option
- Easy lunch
To prepare, preheat your oven according to the package instructions, usually around 400-425°F (200-220°C). 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 package, typically 15-25 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike pizzas with a tomato base, white pizza uses a creamy sauce, often made with ricotta or béchamel. This results in a milder, richer flavor that complements cheeses and other toppings differently. The absence of tomato sauce also means a different visual appearance and a less acidic taste.

How to keep the rest
After baking, store any leftover pizza in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Refrigerate promptly. It is best consumed within 2-3 days for optimal freshness and texture.
