Spinach & Artichoke Pizza Recipe

EASY 4 STEP SPINACH & ARTICHOKE PIZZA RECIPE

With the Super Bowl right around the corner all we can think about lately are appetizers, appetizers, & more appetizers. So it only seemed natural for us to try & incorporate an app into our regular meals. Hey, if it makes us feel better about snacking for every meal then why not. We can only eat so many crostini & dips for dinner before feeling slightly guilty. This recipe is the perfect combination of appetizer & dinner PLUS it’s a pizza topped with spinach so technically it’s healthy, right? #NewYearsResolutionsGoinStrong

spinach and artichoke pizza recipe

We used the same dough recipe from our Chick-Fil-A Pizza (yup, you read that right) & it’s seriously the best. Not only is it super simple to create (most doughs are pretty tricky but not this one!) but it tastes like you’re in Italy. Only took us about 100 tries to get it just right but luckily for you the recipe is below! After this success of a pizza we’re eager to try more appetizers on top of the dough. What is your favorite appetizer? Comment below & let us know!
