White Pizza with Arugula
A whipped cream–fontina mixture makes the “sauce” for these pies. During baking, it melts to a creamy consistency, so be sure to crimp the edge of the dough to create a slight retaining wall for the sauce. Lightly dressed arugula is the perfect finishing touch.

My favorite pizza
The creamy fontina Parmesan sauce mixed with the tang of the lemon and bite of the arugula makes this my favorite pizza. Two thumbs up.

Wowie BEST PIZZA EVER.
That whipped cream with folded in cheese is like magic! So dang good. My basic grocery story didn't have fontina so I bought a pizza blend bag of cheese (that had some fontina in the blend) and still had amazing results--especially with that lemony arugula. A new family favorite. (I do assemble all my pizzas on parchment paper on a pizza peel to make transferring to my hot pizza stone foolproof. Hope that helps someone who said their pizza stuck. )

Delicious but crust stuck to the pan!
Delicious! I followed the instructions exactly. Even though I both sprayed the pan with avocado oil and put a tablespoon of oil in the center of the pan, it would not release. It's soaking in the sink as I write this. All the beautiful crust wasted. Please share any suggestions to correct this.

Easy and excellent
This was an easy and delicious recipe. I used store bought pizza dough which made it really quick. I would definitely use the cheese sauce in the future for another white pizza with different toppings.
