If you love garlic bread and you love pizza, this garlic bread pizza is one for the books. It’s a cross between the two but just a little bit more delicious.
Honestly, who can resist a fresh loaf of garlic bread? I know I can’t! That’s where this pizza version comes into play. It’s not as heavy but just as delicious, and it’s the kind of dish I make to feed a crowd. It’s a foolproof recipe- No yeast, no resting time, and no kneading required. I love that it is ready in under 20 minutes and has the best texture and flavor- the crust is chewy and fluffy, and the garlic butter topping isn’t too overpowering, so it complements anything you pair it with.

Key Ingredients
I used my 2 ingredient pizza dough for the crust, which is so easy, but any crust will do just fine. You can scale it up or down, so polish it all off if that’s what you want!
- Pizza dough. I use my homemade pizza dough for the base of the garlic pizza bread. It’s made with just 2 ingredients and takes minutes to prepare. You can use a store-bought dough or even a chilled pizza crust.
- Milk. To brush over the tops of the pizza dough to give it a golden shine. I used whole milk, but any milk works.
- Butter. To make the garlic topping! Be sure to use good-quality butter as it really brings out the flavor of the pizza.
- Garlic. You can use fresh or bottled (jarred) minced garlic. I used the minimum amount, but feel free to add more if you love garlic.
- Rosemary. A must for any savory bread or pizza!
How to make garlic pizza
Step 1- Prep your pizza dough: Prepare your pizza dough as directed.
Step 2- Make the garlic butter: Melt the butter. Stir in garlic, salt, and rosemary.
Step 3- Assemble: Brush the crust with milk, then brush on the garlic butter. Leave a half-inch border.
Step 4- Bake for 18–20 minutes, until the edges are golden and the topping is sizzling.
Arman’s recipe tips
- Roll out the dough thinly so there is room for it to rise and puff up. Remember, the crust will rise considerably.
- You can adjust the amount of garlic you add to the butter to suit your preferences. I recommend the minimum amount.
- If you own a pizza stone, bake the pizza on that instead of a baking sheet or dish. The stone cooks the crust more evenly and gives it crisp sides. No pizza stone? No worry.
Storage instructions
To store: Leftovers should be stored in the fridge in a sealed container. It will keep fresh for up to 7 days.

Frequently asked questions
If you don’t want to make your own pizza dough, you can use any pizza crust (pre-made) or store-bought dough. Follow the instructions as listed, but be prepared to add more garlic butter, as depending on the size of the dough/crust, you may need more.
Yes! I kept this cheeseless as it’s more authentic and similar to what you’d find at a pizzeria, but feel free to add mozzarella cheese on top before baking.

Garlic is so nutritious and healthy food. I like it. I never tried pizza with garlic before.

Amazingly delicious! Thank you so much! I have celiac and pizza is always not that great.. I love using the nonfat Greek yogurt and protein and fluffy crunchy so good!!
I am going to try your recipe because the flavor appeals to me. This pizza recipe reminds me of Amalfi’s White Pizza which was the first white pizza in the Washington, D.C. area several years ago. The recipe made two pizza dough (with yeast) and no sauce. Once the dough was rolled out, olive oil was sprinkled lightly on top, then garlic (passed through a press) was sprinkled and followed by sprinkles of oregano and red pepper flakes. Finally, fontina cheese slices were placed in various places on top. After cooking in the oven, the pizza was sliced in various small triangle and rectangle slices and served as an appetizer. Since I prefer thinner crust pizza, I store the extra dough in a freezer baggy for another time.
What are amounts for pizza dough of flour and yogurt.
Can some of the white flour be replaced by whole Wheat?
Absolutely, just make sure it is self rising 🙂
