While Alfredo sauce is usually reserved for pasta night, it works beautifully on pizza. The homemade sauce brings a rich, garlicky creaminess that pairs perfectly with a golden crust and bubbly cheese. That said, if you’re short on time, jarred Alfredo sauce works just fine — because easy dinner wins still count around here.
The same goes for the crust. I love using my homemade pizza crust for the best texture and flavor, but store-bought dough absolutely gets the job done when needed. This recipe is flexible, forgiving, and perfect for busy weeknights, pizza nights, or even freezer meals.
