Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup garlic cream sauce or ranch dressing
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup dill pickles, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon bits (optional)
  • 1/4 cup red onions, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  • Roll out the pizza dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.
  • Spread the garlic cream sauce or ranch dressing evenly over the dough.
  • Sprinkle garlic powder and black pepper over the sauce.
  • Add shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the surface.
  • Layer the thinly sliced dill pickles on top of the cheese.
  • Add optional toppings like bacon bits or red onions if desired.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh dill.
  • Slice and serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra tang, try adding a drizzle of pickle juice before baking.
  • Swap mozzarella with cheddar or gouda for a deeper flavor.
  • Use spicy pickles or jalapeños for a kick.
  • For a lighter version, use a yogurt-based sauce instead of ranch.
  • Best served fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven for crispiness.
