FAQs
Can I use fresh garlic instead of roasted garlic?
Fresh garlic can be quite strong and harsh when baked directly on pizza. Roasting softens its flavor and adds a mellow sweetness, which works best for this recipe.
Is this pizza suitable for freezing?
Yes, you can freeze the baked pizza. Wrap it tightly in foil and freezer-safe wrap, then freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen in the oven for best results.

Ingredients
Pizza Dough
- 1 ball of pizza dough (about 12 inches in diameter)
Toppings
- 4–5 cloves roasted garlic, thinly sliced
- 2 cups fresh spinach, washed and roughly chopped
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for drizzling)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the oven and dough. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it is about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer it to a prepared baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Add toppings. Evenly distribute the roasted garlic slices on the dough, then spread the chopped spinach over the top. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese across the spinach. Drizzle olive oil over everything, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Bake the pizza. Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp, and the toppings are heated through and slightly bubbling.
- Serving. Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Roasting garlic beforehand mellows its flavor and adds sweetness. Alternatively, you can use fresh minced garlic if preferred.
- Use fresh spinach for best texture; if using frozen, thaw and squeeze out excess moisture.
- For a crispier crust, pre-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
- Optional additions include a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or fresh herbs like oregano or basil for extra flavor.
