Chicken and Black Pepper Pizza

I have long been a fan of the white pizza. Even growing up, CiCi's Pizza Buffet was a big after sports games stop for our family and wouldn't you believe that I would order their Alfredo pizza just for me. It was simple, cheesy and hands down my favorite.

I love a good red pizza sauce, but in case you haven't heard, not all pizzas were created equal. There is just something comforting about the creaminess of the Alfredo sauce that has me going back for seconds (and thirds) every single time and I know it will be doing the same to you too.

Jeff and I have weekly pizza at-home date nights when he's in town, which is probably not the best choice for our diets but you only live once, right? This is BY FAR our favorite pizza to make and hits all the comfort food loving parts of our selves.
