No red sauce — ricotta, mozzarella, garlic, olive oil.
White Ricotta Pizza
The White Ricotta is the pie for people who think red sauce gets in the way. Dollops of creamy ricotta, a layer of mozzarella, fresh garlic, and a finish of olive oil — clean, rich, and the kind of pizza that converts skeptics. It's a quiet best-seller and a favorite of our regulars who order the same thing every week.
What goes on it
- • Fresh whole-milk ricotta, dolloped across the pie
- • Low-moisture whole-milk mozzarella
- • Fresh minced garlic
- • Extra-virgin olive oil, brushed on the crust and drizzled after the bake
- • 24-hour cold-fermented dough — no tomato sauce
How it's made
We brush the stretched dough with garlic oil, lay the mozzarella, then spoon ricotta in even dollops so every slice gets some. Into the brick oven for 6–8 minutes. A final drizzle of olive oil and a crack of black pepper at the cut station.
Pairings
Add spinach or fresh tomato for a white-pie-with-greens. A Greek Salad on the side. A great base pie to add halal sausage or grilled chicken to.
Ordering tips
Get it well-done — the extra time in the oven deepens the garlic and crisps the bottom. Ask for a side of marinara if you still want something to dip the crust in.

FAQ
Common questions
- Is this just a cheese pizza with no sauce?
- No. Our cheese pie is mozzarella over house tomato sauce. This one drops the tomato entirely and adds a second cheese: fresh whole-milk ricotta, spooned on in dollops so every slice gets some rather than one flat layer. What sits under the mozzarella is garlic oil brushed onto the stretched dough. Same 24-hour dough, same brick oven, and it leaves the cut station with olive oil and cracked black pepper on it.
- Does it come out dry without any sauce on it?
- No. The olive oil goes on twice: brushed into the dough with the garlic before anything else, then drizzled over the pie at the cut station after the bake. The ricotta dollops carry their own moisture, and the mozzarella goes down underneath them. It is 6 to 8 minutes in the brick oven, the same as our cheese pie, so nothing sits in there long enough to dry out.
- How strong is the garlic on it?
- It is fresh minced garlic, not powder, and it goes into the oil we brush on the stretched dough before the mozzarella goes down, so it sits under the pie rather than on top. Spread that way it carries through every slice instead of hitting in one bite. Six to eight minutes is the standard bake; well-done deepens it further. With no tomato sauce competing, garlic is the main seasoning here.
- Is the white ricotta pizza halal?
- Yes — every meat on this pizza, like every meat on our menu, comes from a halal-certified supplier, and the kitchen, fryer and slicer are halal-only. Nothing non-halal is prepared or stored on the premises.
- Can I order it for pickup or delivery?
- Both. Pickup is free and usually ready in about 15 minutes. In-house delivery is our own drivers — no third-party app markup — across Clifton, Paterson, Passaic, Garfield, Nutley, Lyndhurst, Bloomfield and Belleville.
