# Ingredients:
For the pizza
01 -
8 frozen breaded fish sticks, about 9 oz (255 g)
02 -
1 ready-made 12-inch (30 cm) pre-baked pizza crust
03 -
1/3 cup (80 ml) Alfredo sauce, jarred or homemade
04 -
1 1/4 cups (140 g) shredded mozzarella or pizza blend cheese, divided
05 -
1/2 cup (75 g) thinly sliced tomatoes, optional
06 -
1/3 cup (45 g) thinly sliced sweet peppers, optional
07 -
1 teaspoon olive oil
08 -
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
For serving
09 -
2 tablespoons torn fresh basil
10 -
Lemon wedges, optional
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for the fish sticks and place the pizza crust on a pizza pan or second baking sheet.
02 -
Arrange the fish sticks in a single layer. Bake for about 10 minutes, flipping after 7-8 minutes, until crisp and hot.
03 -
Brush the outer edge of the pizza crust with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder. Spread the Alfredo sauce thinly over the center, leaving a small border.
04 -
Sprinkle 1 cup of the cheese over the Alfredo. Arrange the crisp fish sticks on top in spokes or rows, then add tomatoes and peppers if using.
05 -
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup cheese over the pizza. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the crust is crisp at the edge.
06 -
Top with torn basil and a light squeeze of lemon if desired. Rest for 2 minutes, then slice into 8 pieces and serve hot.
# Good to know:
01 -
Best served right after baking while the fish sticks are still crisp.
02 -
Use a thin layer of Alfredo sauce to prevent a soggy center.
