Easy Homemade Pizza is the perfect weeknight meal or game day appetizer! Load it up with Spinach, Tomatoes, and Ranch for a delicious pizza!
Homemade Pizza is such an easy meal for during the week, but it also makes the perfect appetizer for game-day, parties, potlucks, and birthday parties. Whatever the event, everyone can get behind a good pizza.
Making homemade pizza dough is simple, and it freezes well too, so making it in bulk is a great idea because it's available whenever you want to make pizza! This homemade pizza is loaded with fresh spinach, tomatoes, cheese, and everyone's favorite- RANCH! This will be your new go-to appetizer or dinner!
Spinach Tomato Ranch Pizza can be made on homemade pizza dough or store-bought dough for a quick meal!
How to make Spinach, Tomato & Ranch Homemade Pizza:
**scroll down for full directions and ingredient list**
- Decide if you want to use homemade dough or store bought dough - both work great.
- Preheat the oven and roll out the dough into a pizza shape...or whatever shape looks good! Put it on a pizza stone or baking sheet now (use parchment for a baking sheet). Add the toppings to the pizza- ranch, spinach, cheese, tomatoes, green onions, and spices.
- Place pizza into the oven, and cook for 12-17 minutes. Check at the 12 minute mark, and assess if it needs to be cooked longer.
- I like my cheese to be browned and bubbly, so I usually cook for about 15-16 minutes. Just keep an eye on it.
- Remove carefully from the oven, and let the homemade pizza cool for about 10 minutes. Cut in slices or sticks and serve with a side of homemade ranch. I love this cilantro ranch and jalapeno ranch with this homemade pizza!
Can I use Gluten Free Crust or Cauliflower Crust for this recipe?
YES! You can use GF crust or caulifower crust (lower carb option) for this recipe with great success.
- For Gluten Free Crust: Make homemade GF dough, then pre-bake for 8-10 minutes. Next, top with toppings, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until bubbly.
- For Cauliflower Crust: Make the cauliflower crust following these directions. Bake for 20 minutes first, then add toppings and bake an additional 10 minutes or until bubbly.

Easy Homemade Pizza is the perfect weeknight meal or game day appetizer! Load it up with Spinach, Tomatoes, and Ranch for a delicious pizza!
- 1 ball of pizza dough, homemade or pre-made
- ⅓ cup ranch dressing
- 3 cups of fresh baby spinach, more or less
- 2 roma tomatoes, diced
- 3 stalks green onion, chopped
- 6-8 ounces mozzarella cheese, freshly shredded
- couple cracks fresh black pepper
- few shakes dried oregano
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out dough into a pizza shape (square or round-whatever you want!). Place pizza dough onto pizza stone or baking sheet (parchment paper for easier cleanup).
-
Top pizza dough with ranch dressing, using a spatula or spoon to spread evenly. Then add spinach, cheese, tomatoes, and green onions. Add a couple cracks of black pepper and a few shakes of dried oregano over the top.
-
Place pizza into oven and bake for 12-17 minutes, checking after 12 minutes. The cheese should be browned and bubbly, and the dough cooked through. Continue baking if needed - mine is usually perfect around 15 minutes but ovens vary. Remove from oven.
-
Let cool 10 minutes and then slice and serve with a side of ranch for dipping!
