Steps:
- Follow the easy no-knead pizza recipe through step 5, including shaping the pizza and preheating the oven.
- Cook the spinach: heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and cook for 20 seconds until light golden. Add spinach, a handful at a time, and sauté until it has wilted. The amount of greens looks huge, but it wilt in less than 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
- Prepare the cheese: crumble the block of feta using your fingers and, if you use fresh mozzarella ball in water, cut it into ½ inch thick pieces. If it releases water, you may want to dab the mozzarella with the paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Shape the dough: when the dough is ready follow step 5, place the dough on a parchment paper sheet and starting from the center, gently press it out with your fingers until you get approx a 9×13 inch pizza. Then gently place the dough onto a pizza peel or onto the back of a rimmed baking sheet.
- Add the topping: scatter mozzarella, feta and spinach evenly on the top of the pizza. Sprinkle some fine salt on top and little drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (optional).
- Bake the pizza: make sure the oven is hot and use the pizza peel to carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone. Bake the pizza until the cheese and crust are nicely browned, approx 15 minutes. Each oven is different, keep an eye on it (e.g. in a forced fan oven it will take about 8-10 minutes).
- Serve: allow the pizza to cool for a minute or two before serving and drizzle with good-quality extra virgin olive oil, also garlic oil would be nice. Slice and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose fresh spinach: Fresh spinach leaves yield the best flavor and texture for this pizza. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before using.
- Wilt the spinach: Wilting the spinach removes excess moisture and helps it to cook evenly on the pizza. To wilt the spinach, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until it has softened and wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Use a store-bought pizza crust: To save time, you can use a store-bought pizza crust for this recipe. Look for a thin crust that is pre-baked or par-baked.
- Make your own pizza crust: If you have the time, you can also make your own pizza crust. There are many different recipes available online, so you can find one that suits your taste and skill level.
- Use a variety of cheeses: This recipe calls for a combination of mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. You can also use other types of cheeses, such as cheddar, fontina, or goat cheese.
- Don't overload the pizza: Be careful not to overload the pizza with toppings. Too many toppings can make the pizza soggy and difficult to cook. A thin layer of cheese and a moderate amount of spinach and other toppings are all you need.
- Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown: The pizza is done baking when the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. The baking time will vary depending on the type of crust you are using.
