Creamy Garlic Pizza Sauce Recipe : Creamy & Delicious

If you’re ready to ditch the tomato-based sauces and take your homemade pizzas to a whole new level, this creamy garlic pizza sauce recipe is your secret weapon.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic (fresh is best for flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk (warm or room temperature works best)
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder (optional for extra depth)

Instructions

    1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
    2. Sauté the garlic for about 30–60 seconds until it becomes fragrant, but not browned.
    3. Whisk in the flour to form a roux. Continue whisking for 1–2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
    4. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for 3–5 minutes until the mixture thickens.
    5. Add the Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and optional onion powder. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
    6. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using as a pizza base or dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Use warm milk to help the sauce thicken faster and prevent curdling.
  • Grate cheese fresh—pre-shredded varieties often contain anti-caking agents that don’t melt as smoothly.
  • Don’t skip the roux stage. It’s essential for getting that perfect creamy texture.
