Ingredients
  

for the pizza

  • 1 pizza crust You can use a premade crust for this recipe, or your favorite homemade or store-bought pizza dough. I love using my homemade pizza crust, or for a thin crust, my homemade sourdough pizza crust!
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded or grated parmesan cheese

for the garlic herb oil

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3-4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp fresh or dried parsley

for the chopped salad

  • 1 head crisp romaine lettuce chopped and washed
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup Caesar dressing I love to use my homemade dressing, but feel free to use your favorite Caesar salad dressing instead!
  • croutons optional

Instructions
 

  • Prepare your crust according to the recipe or package directions(if you are using a prebaked crust, skip this step.) Roll out the crust, then transfer it to a parchment paper lined or well greased baking sheet, and set aside until ready to use.
  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. 
  • In a small bowl, combine the garlic oil ingredients. Then spread the seasoned oil evenly over your prepared crust using the back of a spoon. 
  • Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the oil, then layer the fresh mozzarella over it. 
  • Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown. 
  • While the pizza is baking, prep your Ceaser salad(see notes for additional salad options). 
  • In a medium bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, cheese, and dressing, and toss to make sure everything is coated in the dressing.
  • Add your croutons if desired and toss to combine. (I like to sprinkle the croutons over the top of the finished pizza rather than putting them in the salad, but both options work great!)
  • Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before topping it with the Caesar salad. Sprinkle the salad over the top of the pizza, keeping it evenly spread over the whole pizza.
  • Top with additional croutons and a drizzle of Caesar dressing(is desired), then cut into 8 slices and enjoy!

Notes

Any leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 5 days! You can easily reheat Caesar salad pizza in the oven, but keep in mind the lettuce won’t be crisp anymore on leftover pizza.
I love to make my own Ceasr salad for this recipe, but you can just as easily use a premade salad kit. Or simply toss any kind of lettuce or greens you like with you faovrite Caesar dressing and enjoy! You could also add diced chicken breast or chicken strips to make this a chicken Caesar salad pizza!
And feel free to add any additional toppings you’d like to this pizza, tomatoes, red onion, red pepper flakes, and even pepperoni would all be delicious!
