The classic cheesy chicken alfredo pizza gets a fun twist with a quick homemade sauce, crispy bacon and fresh avocado!
Pizza pizza pizza!!!! Anyone remember ninja turtles? Michaelangelo was my fav. Alright I’ll admit it, he’s still my favorite. Mostly because he’s always saying “party time dude!!!” And he always wants pizza.
Growing up with my three brothers, we played with ninja turtles all the time and I was always Michaelangelo, the action figure even had a disc shooter on his arm he would shoot pizza out of. Is that not the coolest??
Whatever your meal plan says for next week, change it this instant. I don’t care how to have to switch it around but do whatever you’ve gotta do to put this pizza on the docket. You guys, it’s chicken alfredo WITH BACON. As previously discussed, bacon makes everything 10x better. And avocado, the world’s most versatile veggie (or fruit depending on who you ask) is making an appearance as well. It all goes together so dang well in this pizza. My husband loves it, I love it, and YOU will love it. Make it!

Wow, what a dreamy combination! And marrying those flavours with a pizza base is just the cherry on the top, maybe I can get my OH to eat alfredo if it’s on a pizza 🙂
