Beautifully creamy and full of garlic and parmesan, this pizza sauce is absolutely delicious! It is nice to change up pizza night every now and then with this Creamy Garlic Pizza Sauce (Alfredo Sauce). It is the number one requested pizza sauce from my husband.
What makes this creamy garlic pizza sauce different from traditional alfredo sauce that you put on pasta is the consistency, this pizza sauce is a tad bit thicker than traditional Alfredo Sauce.
This pizza sauce recipe makes a fantastic Pepperoni Alfredo Pizza, which is my husband's favorite pizza. It is also great on this Spinach Alfredo Bacon Pizza. Which is one of my favorite pizzas. If you are a spinach pizza lover, you will love the Spinach Alfredo bacon Pizza!

I often make a small pizza using this creamy garlic sauce and top it with a garlic butter and herb mixture, and more parmesan cheese of course, and slice it like breadsticks. It is always a hit with my family!
How To Make Creamy Garlic Pizza Sauce

💡 Expert Tips
- Once your sauce starts simmering, don't walk away! Heavy cream can scorch quickly. It heats and thickens fast, so keep an eye on it. You'll know it's ready when it coats the back of a spoon-it'll thicken even more as it cools.
- Always use freshly shredded and grated parmesan cheese.
- Asiago and Romano cheeses are great when used with the parmesan cheese.
