Step-by-step
- Heat oven to 400 deg F.
- Spray 14-inch round pizza pan with cooking spray.
- Unroll dough on pan; shape into round to desired thickness.
- Bake 8 minutes.
- Arrange pepperoni and 3 tablespoons of the olives on crust to within 1 inch of edge.
- Sprinkle with cheese.
- Evenly pour pizza sauce over toppings; gently spreading to cover.
- In small resealable food-storage bag, place alfredo sauce; seal bag.
- Cut off tiny corner of bag.
- Squeeze bag to drizzle alfredo sauce in circles over pizza sauce, starting from outer edge continuously to center.
- Pull knife through alfredo sauce, starting from center to outside edge, changing direction with every pull, to look like spiderweb.
- Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon olives on top to look like spiders.
- Bake 8 to 12 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown.
- Cut into wedges and serve.
Garlic alfredo sauce behaves quite differently than standard tomato paste when subjected to oven heat. Because dairy-heavy sauces contain higher fat and moisture levels, piping them in a continuous spiral rather than dumping them in pools prevents local water accumulation and soggy dough. Pre-baking the dough plain at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for precisely 8 minutes establishes a structural floor capable of supporting wet toppings without turning gummy.
Achieving a symmetrical web pattern requires basic pastry tools applied creatively. Snip a corner off a standard plastic food-storage bag no wider than 3 millimeters to maintain hydraulic pressure on the alfredo drizzle. Dragging a paring knife outward from the center point breaks surface tension cleanly, creating distinct quadrants without smearing the red tomato background.
Standard round pizza pans measuring 14 inches work best here, but baking sheets lined with parchment paper suffice if round pans are unavailable. Pair this heavily spiced and savory pie with a bright, acidic green salad dressed simply in lemon juice to cut through the richness of the double-sauce base and heavy mozzarella layer.
