Method
 

Prepare the Creamy Spinach Sauce
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream and minced garlic over medium heat. Stir for about 5 minutes until thickened. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Mix in cream cheese and parmesan until smooth.
Prepare the Pizza Dough
  1. Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about 12 inches in diameter. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
Assemble the Pizza
  1. Transfer the rolled dough to a pizza peel or parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread the spinach sauce evenly, then sprinkle mozzarella and pecorino cheeses. Layer with marinated artichoke hearts.
Bake the Pizza
  1. Slide the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
Serve
  1. Let the pizza cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. Serve immediately.
