1 12-inch pizza crust
1/2 cup Alfredo sauce
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Place the pizza directly on the center oven rack and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.

Variations
Add grilled chicken, sausage, or shredded rotisserie chicken for extra protein.
Swap the Alfredo sauce for pesto or traditional pizza sauce for a different flavor profile.
Use mozzarella instead of provolone if you prefer a more classic pizza taste.
Add mushrooms, olives, or artichokes for extra Mediterranean flavor.
Storage/Reheating
Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat slices in the oven at 375°F for about 5 to 7 minutes to help keep the crust crispy. You can also reheat in an air fryer for a few minutes.
Microwaving works for convenience, though the crust may soften slightly.
