I don’t see why you couldn’t put all the best parts of spinach artichoke dip onto a pizza. Everyone loves this pizza with spinach and artichokes on it.
The classic spinach artichoke dip is a crowd pleaser, so what’s not to like? The combination of the tangy artichokes and the creamy, gooey cheese makes for a really appealing food. One of our early 2010 “hits” was a variation on the classic: a grilled cheese sandwich with spinach and artichoke hearts. Years later, we’re here to put our own spin on the idea by baking it into a pie. Here is our pizza with spinach and artichokes. Like the famous spread used to cover pizza dough, it is gooey, delicious, and tangy. Who could say no to that?

In terms of form filling, that’s all! Spread it on pizza crust, sprinkle on some mozzarella and Parmesan, and bake. The end result mimics the texture and flavour of the dip perfectly. Except now it’s much simpler to consume since the bread you’d normally dip into it has been converted into pizza dough.
Also, we’ve made it clear that if you don’t have Parmesan on hand, Pecorino Romano cheese will do just well as a substitute for the toppings. Pecorino Romano cheese is described. Like Parmesan, Pecorino is a hard Italian cheese, but its taste is significantly harsher. Since Pecorino cheese has such a distinctive taste and is so intensely flavorful, Alex and I like it over Parmesan. Although Parmesan cheese would work well here, the addition of Pecorino elevates this dish to new heights.
