White pizza sounds simple, but it delivers a unique flavor experience that red sauce pizzas cannot replicate.
What Is White Pizza?
White pizza replaces tomato sauce with a base of olive oil, garlic, and sometimes ricotta or a cream sauce. The result is a pizza where the cheese, herbs, and toppings are the dominant flavors, unmasked by tomato acidity. It is a different experience entirely from traditional pizza.
Our Approach
At Mad Pizza, our white pizza starts with our crispy Chicago thin-crust base, brushed with garlic-infused olive oil. Our hand-shredded mozzarella then takes center stage, melting into a gorgeous, golden layer without competing with tomato sauce. The result is a pizza that highlights the pure, creamy flavor of quality mozzarella.
Why It Works on Thin Crust
Chicago thin-crust is a perfect canvas for white pizza. The cracker-crisp crust provides a neutral, crunchy base that lets the garlic, oil, and cheese flavors shine. Without sauce adding moisture, the crust stays even crispier than usual, producing an incredibly satisfying crunch.
Best Toppings for White Pizza
Some toppings work especially well without red sauce. Roasted garlic, fresh ricotta dollops, spinach, mushrooms, and artichoke hearts are all excellent choices. The absence of tomato sauce means lighter, more delicate flavors can shine through.
When to Order White Pizza
White pizza is perfect when you want something different from your usual order, when you prefer creamy over acidic flavors, or when you want to taste the cheese at its most prominent. It is also a great option for people who find tomato sauce too acidic for their preference.
The Challenge of Simplicity
Like a cheese pizza, white pizza has nowhere to hide. The quality of the crust, cheese, and garlic oil must be excellent. This is why our daily preparation of hand-shredded mozzarella and fresh dough matters so much.
