Make restaurant-style white pizza sauce at home. This recipe delivers a rich, creamy, and garlicky base that tastes much better than store-bought options, ready in minutes for your next homemade pizza.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk, warmed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the minced fresh garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown.
  3. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to create a roux.
  4. Slowly pour in the warm milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
  5. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and nutmeg, if using.
  7. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Do not let the sauce boil after adding the cream and cheese.
  8. Remove from heat. This is your perfect garlic white pizza sauce base. Use immediately on your pizza dough.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, use roasted garlic instead of fresh minced garlic.
  • This sauce works well for chicken pizza or veggie pies.
  • If the sauce becomes too thick while cooling, whisk in a tablespoon of milk or cream to reach your desired consistency.
