A complete printable recipe and the measurements in both US customary and metric are available in the recipe card below.
Prepare the artichoke toppings
In a skillet, heat olive oil, add garlic, and saute for approximately 30 seconds.

How to make spinach and artichoke pizza in an Ooni pizza oven
Preheat your Ooni oven to 850°F/450°C.
Lightly dust your pizza peel with flour, then place your rolled pizza dough on the peel.
Brush the dough with a light layer of extra virgin olive oil, leaving a ½ inch border. Then scatter pizza seasoning over the oil, followed by an even layer of mozzarella cheese.
Place the artichoke and spinach mixture evenly over the dough, add tomatoes, and sprinkle vegetarian grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Place your pizza in the Ooni oven and cook for approximately 2 – 3 minutes, turning with a pizza turning peel every 20 seconds to ensure an even cook.
When the pizza is ready, the crust should be crispy, and the pizza toppings perfectly cooked.
Remove your pizza from the oven, slice it with a good pizza cutter, serve immediately and enjoy!
How to make spinach and artichoke pizza in a kitchen oven
Preheat your oven to 500°F/260°C; if you’re using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
Lightly dust your pizza stone or work surface with flour, then place your rolled pizza dough on the peel.
Brush the dough with a light layer of extra virgin olive oil, leaving a ½ inch border. Then scatter pizza seasoning over the oil, followed by an even layer of mozzarella cheese.
Place the artichoke and spinach mixture evenly over the dough, add tomatoes, and sprinkle vegetarian grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Place your pizza in a pizza pan (a baking sheet will suffice, but it’s not as good as the hot air can’t circulate the crust) or on the pizza stone and cook for approximately 8 – 10 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure an even cook.
When the pizza is ready, the crust should be golden brown, and the pizza toppings perfectly cooked.
Remove your pizza from the oven, slice it with a good pizza cutter, serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe notes and expert tips
- Cheese
Pecorino Romano cheese is NOT vegetarian; make sure you use vegetarian Parmesan. - Frozen artichoke hearts
Using frozen artichoke hearts are fine; ensure they are thawed and drained, or else they’ll make for a soggy pizza. - Marinated artichoke hearts
Use marinated artichoke hearts for extra flavor. - Optional flavors
Add red pepper flakes or freshly cracked black pepper for a bit of heat. - Important
Different pizza ovens, pizza stones, or pans all cook in different ways. Watch your pizza, as you may have to increase or reduce the cooking time.
How to store leftover spinach artichoke pizza
Leftover artichoke pizza will keep for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
Eat cold, reheat in the oven, or reheat pizza in an air fryer.
What to serve with spinach artichoke pizza
We like to serve pizza with our favorite dips; try the versatile ranch dressing, which is excellent for dipping pizza in.
Garlic pizza sauce, sour cream and chives, or sriracha aioli.
A light green salad, garden salad, or sweet potato wedges.
And why not wash it down with a mojitorita cocktail?
And for something sweet, try cinnamon sugar grissini.
Store-bought pizza dough vs. homemade pizza dough
There’s no doubt that store-bought pizza dough is more convenient, and you can buy some good, tasty dough these days.
However, we’ll always recommend homemade if possible.
Not only is it fresher, but you can control the ingredients so that it is the perfect crispy crust for you; it’s also SO delicious – you can’t beat it!
What are artichoke hearts?
They’re the co-star of this delicious pizza, but what are they?
Artichoke hearts are the tender inner part of an artichoke plant, you can boil, grill, or roast them, and they are delicious.

This was actually my first time ever having artichoke! My doctor told me to try to work them into my diet, but I was hesitant until I saw this pizza. It was truly delicious!
