If you’re looking for a unique pizza recipe, this sun-dried tomato clam pizza fits the bill. It’s super delicious and you’ll fall in love with the flavor combination of the toppings after first bite.
I’d been seeing chefs on TV making or eating clam pizza recipes left and right, so I definitely had it on my mind, but didn’t think it was really something I could make at home.
Then I was flipping through a friends’ Weight Watchers cookbook (called Yes, Italian!) when I came across this sun-dried tomato clam pizza. It looked so delicious and summery, I had to make it!
Not gonna lie, I really dig WW cookbooks, they have some amazing healthy meal ideas and recipes – like these skinny turkey burgers I shared, they’re from a Weight Watchers cookbook. So just know you’re definitely not sacrificing flavor for some really delicious healthy meals!
I opted to make this sun dried clam pizza on my fail-proof whole wheat pizza dough. You can absolutely use a pre-made pizza crust for this recipe, but if you’re feeling ambitious, my recipe for whole wheat pizza dough works really well for this recipe.
The toppings of sun-dried tomatoes and clams add a wonderful saltiness, and the basil topping adds that summer freshness.
While I wasn’t originally going to share the recipe, it tasted so good, I definitely couldn’t help but snap a few pictures and share it here on the blog, because I know this is a unique pizza I’ll be making on repeat!
I’d love to hear from you in the comments – have you ever tried clam pizza?

[…] With this recipe you can choose how big you want your pizza to be. I’ve found that my favorite size to make is smaller-to-medium size pizzas of about 8-10 inches. With this recipe you’ll get three thin rolled 8-10 inch pizzas. Or I like making 12 inch pizzas that I roll very thin (I used this whole wheat pizza crust to make this sun dried tomato clam pizza) […]
