Cork & Pig Tavern’s So Cal Pizza

This cheesy white pizza from Cork & Pig in Irving is topped with a creamy garlic sauce, lemon zest, fresh tomato and avocado. It’s unexpected and bright and fresh! Thanks to shortcut ingredients like store-bought pizza dough and jarred Alfredo sauce, it comes together quickly.

Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds store-bought pizza dough
  • One 22-ounce jarred Alfredo sauce (garlic cream sauce)
  • 4 cups shredded Mozzarella
  • 4 cups shredded Fontina
  • 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
  • 2 avocados halved, pitted, peeled and sliced
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 1 cup torn fresh basil
  • 4 Teaspoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 450 °F
  • Divide your pizza dough into 4 balls. Stretch out your dough into a 10-inch circle and place it on a pizza pan or a large rimmed baking sheet. Pierce the dough all over with a fork before spreading enough of the garlic cream to lightly cover the whole pie, leaving a little space on the edges.
  • Sprinkle 1 cup of Mozzarella and 1 cup of Fontina on each pizza. Distribute ½ cup cherry tomatoes evenly on top of the cheese.
  • Working one or two at a time, bake your pizzas for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the pizza crust is golden brown.
  • After your pizzas are cooked, add the slices of 1/2 avocado, zest of ½ a lemon, torn basil, a teaspoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Slice and enjoy!

Notes

If cooking your pizzas in a pizza oven, cook at 550 degrees for 7–10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and pizza dough is golden.
