Who doesn’t love a warm, cheesy slice of pizza straight out of the oven? If you and your family enjoying making pizza at home, then you’ll definitely want to give this mushroom pizza recipe a try.
This mushroom pizza is loaded with garlic-sautéed mushrooms and two different types of cheeses — mozzarella and ricotta cheese. The mozzarella provides that stretchy quality we love in a cheese pizza, while the ricotta adds a touch of creaminess.
Other cheeses that also work well include goat cheese and fresh burrata cheese. A sprinkle of grated parmesan as a finishing touch is always welcome.
In addition to a selection of cheeses, we like to use fragrant herbs like oregano and thyme to provide depth in flavor and an earthy touch to the pizza. You can always add a dry herb mix like herbes de Provence too if that’s what you have on hand.
Using store-bought pizza crust makes this mushroom pizza really easy to whip up. If you want to make a gluten-free version, you can easily swap in a cauliflower crust. If you want to make the pizza vegan-friendly, just use your favorite vegan cheeses.
