This fish stick Alfredo pizza combines two kid favorites into one quick meal that's perfect for busy school nights. When you're short on time but facing hungry kids, this unexpected pizza combo comes to the rescue in under 30 minutes. The crunchy Gorton's fish sticks work amazingly well with the smooth Alfredo sauce, making a seafood pizza that's both different and totally satisfying.
I came up with this dinner during a crazy day when back-to-school shopping threw our whole schedule off track. My kid called it "the most awesome dinner ever" and it's now what we make whenever life gets too busy and we need something fast but fun.
- Gorton's Crunchy Fish Sticks: Gives you that perfect crunch and fish flavor without any work
- Pre-made pizza crust: Cuts down your cooking time but still feels like real pizza
- Store-bought Alfredo sauce: Makes a rich, creamy base that works better with fish than regular tomato sauce
- Shredded mozzarella or Italian cheese mix: Gets all melty and gives you that cheese-pull everyone loves
- Any fresh veggies you have: Adds brightness, healthy stuff and balances the rich ingredients
- Get Fish Sticks Going:
- Turn your oven to 425°F and put the Gorton's fish sticks on a baking sheet. They need about 10 minutes total, and you'll want to flip them halfway. While they cook, you can work on the pizza, so nothing's wasted time.
- Fix Up Your Pizza Bottom:
- As the fish sticks cook, spread Alfredo sauce all over your pizza crust. Don't go too thick, but make sure it covers everything. Set aside a bit of your cheese for later, and sprinkle the rest all over the sauce.
- Put Everything Together:
- When fish sticks turn golden and crunchy, place them on the pizza like wheel spokes. This way, every slice has fish stick goodness. If you're using veggies, tuck them between the fish sticks so they look nice and are spread out evenly. The different colors make the pizza look even yummier.
- Last Cooking Step:
- Sprinkle your saved cheese on top and bake for 8-10 minutes. Look for completely melted cheese and golden crust edges. This second trip to the oven blends all the flavors but keeps the fish sticks crunchy.

This weird but wonderful mix of fish sticks and Alfredo sauce started as a quick fix but turned into something we can't get enough of. My daughter regularly asks for this "special pizza" now, which shows sometimes the best food ideas come when you're in a rush.
Why This Recipe Works
This recipe works because the flavors just make sense together. Regular pizza sauce would fight with the mild fish taste, but creamy Alfredo actually makes it better. Using pre-made crust and already-cooked fish sticks means you can throw it together super fast, which is exactly what you need on busy weeknights.
Storage Tips
This pizza tastes best right out of the oven when the fish sticks are still crunchy against the gooey cheese. If you have extra slices, put them in a sealed container in the fridge for up to two days. Don't microwave leftovers - warm them in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to bring back some of that crispiness.
Customization Ideas
What's great about this pizza is you can switch it up however you want. If your kids love veggies, throw on some broccoli bits, sliced peppers, or tiny tomatoes. If veggies are a no-go, just add more fish sticks instead. Some families might like adding a sprinkle of parmesan or a little drizzle of pesto for extra flavor.
Kid-Friendly Cooking Project
This is a perfect recipe for getting your kids to help with dinner. They can arrange the fish sticks in a wheel pattern and place veggies between them. Since pizza-making is so visual, they can actually see their creation come together, and they'll feel proud they helped make dinner.
