👩‍🍳Why We Love Homemade Chicken Artichoke Pizza with Spinach and Feta

I love pizza like any American does. Sure, it’s Italian at its core, but pizza feels just as American as burgers and fries. One of my earliest pizza memories is those rectangle pizzas from grade school lunches. I don’t know what it was about them, but they were so good. I should probably try to recreate it someday since schools don’t serve them anymore.

Now, I don’t love just any pizza—I love homemade pizza. I’ve shared a few different kinds here on the blog, but this chicken artichoke pizza is one of my top favorites. It’s like spinach artichoke dip baked right onto my easy pizza dough recipe with tender chicken breast, melty mozzarella, briny black olives, red onion, and a handful of fresh spinach. The crust comes out crisp and golden, the feta adds that tangy bite, and the whole thing feels like a Mediterranean pizza made for family dinners.

Part of what makes this recipe so good is the process. Making homemade pizza dough from scratch, stretching it out, and loading it with sauce, cheese, and toppings is half the fun. Once it bakes in a hot oven, it only takes minutes to bubble up into a cheesy, golden pizza that’s way better than takeout.

Get the whole family involved in topping and baking—it’s the best way to make pizza night fun. This spinach artichoke pizza with chicken breast has become a staple in our house, and I think it’ll be one in yours too.

If you’re looking for more pizza recipes, try branching out with a variety. My Mediterranean chicken pizza is always a hit (and my husband’s favorite). Its loaded with sun-dried tomatoes, olives, feta and fresh herbs. Buffalo chicken pizza with homemade buffalo sauce is loaded with bold flavor, and my Rowdy Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza is my new spin on the classic that deserves a spot on your table too.

🥣 How To Make Chicken Artichoke Pizza

Start by preheating the oven to a high heat so the crust bakes up crisp and golden. If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats. The stone helps mimic that pizzeria-style crust, but a baking sheet lined with parchment paper works just fine too. Roll out your pizza dough and place it on the hot stone or sheet when you’re ready to assemble.

Spread a thin, even layer of pizza sauce over the dough, making sure to leave a little border around the edges for the crust to puff up. Scatter the cooked chicken evenly over the sauce, then add the artichokes. Next, layer on mozzarella for that gooey melt, feta for tangy flavor, and finish with black olives and thin slices of red onion for a little bite.

Season the top with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper, then drizzle lightly with olive oil. This not only boosts flavor but also helps the toppings brown nicely. Slide the pizza into the oven and bake until the crust is golden brown and crisp on the bottom, and the cheese is fully melted and bubbling across the top.

Just before the chicken artichoke pizza finishes baking, scatter fresh spinach over the top so it wilts slightly, or if you prefer a brighter pop of green, add it right after pulling the pizza out of the oven. Let the pizza rest for a few minutes before slicing so the cheese sets a bit and the toppings don’t slide off. Serve warm and enjoy while the crust is still crisp and the cheese is perfectly gooey.

Equipment

• Pizza Pan

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 pizza dough
• 1 cup cooked chicken breast – shredded or diced
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 1½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup chopped artichokes
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
• ¼ cup sliced black olives
• ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
• ½ cup chopped fresh spinach or baby spinach
• 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon dried basil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 475℉. If you are using a pizza stone place it in the oven to preheat.
• Place your rolled-out dough on a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
• Evenly distribute the shredded chicken and artichokes over the sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, black olives and red onion.
• Sprinkle with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• In the last few minutes of baking, scatter the chopped spinach on top of the pizza, or add it immediately after taking the pizza out of the oven.
• Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

If using a pizza stone, preheat it for at least 20 minutes before baking. This helps the bottom crisp like a restaurant-style pizza.

Substitutions

Mozzarella gives you that classic stretch, but you can mix in provolone or fontina for more depth of flavor.

Leftover rotisserie chicken is perfect here, but grilled or roasted chicken breast adds more flavor if you’re cooking from scratch.

Storage

Store leftover slices in an airtight container or wrap tightly in foil. They’ll keep well for 3 to 4 days.

If you want to skip the microwave, I suggest placing the slices on a baking sheet and baking them at 375°F until hot and the crust crisps back up, usually 8 to 10 minutes.

Serving Suggestions For Spinach Artichoke Chicken Pizza

This chicken artichoke pizza already makes a full meal, but it pairs beautifully with a few simple sides. A crisp green salad with lemon vinaigrette balances the richness of the cheese and keeps the whole meal light and fresh. Roasted vegetables, like asparagus or zucchini, echo the Mediterranean flavors and round out the plate.

If you want something heartier, serve the pizza with a side of pasta tossed in olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs—it makes dinner feel more like a full Italian feast. For dipping, keep a small bowl of marinara or garlic butter on the side so the crust doesn’t go to waste.

When it comes to drinks, this pizza goes perfectly with a chilled white wine like Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, or even a light Chardonnay. For non-alcoholic options, sparkling water with lemon or an herbal iced tea makes a refreshing match.
