Spinach Chicken Alfredo Pizza

1 pizza dough ball
10 to 12 oz of sliced (¼" thick) grilled chicken breast
2 cups baby spinach (washed and dried)
1 cup grated mozzarella
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt
Alfredo Sauce -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup heavy cream
¼ cup grated parmesan
Salt (to taste)

Preheat oven and pizza stone for one hour at 500 F.
To make the sauce, melt the butter in a medium sauce pan over medium heat, and add garlic and crushed red pepper. Cook 2 to 3 minutes to combine flavors. Add the flour and mix well while cooking for 2 minutes. While stirring with a wire whisk, slowly and continuously add the heavy cream. Add a pinch of salt to taste, reduce heat and let simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken. Remove from heat and set aside.
Roll out the pizza dough and brush with olive oil. Spoon about 2/3 of the sauce on the pizza. Top with chicken slices. Spoon remaining sauce over chicken slices, and sprinkle ½ of the spinach leaves over the pizza. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top of the entire pizza.
Place the pizza on the pre-heated stone and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until crust and/or cheese starts to brown. Remove from the oven and add the remaining spinach leaves. Remove from the oven and let set for 3 to 4 minutes before slicing.
