Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet or pizza stone/steel
  • Paper towels

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup homemade garlic cream sauce or the pizza sauce of your choice
  • pizza crust/dough can be store-bought pizza dough
  • 1/3 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 2/3 cup fresh mozzarella pizza cheese shredded
  • 1 cup dill pickles thinly sliced
  • 1 cup bacon chopped, optional
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing optional
  • 2 tablespoons Romano or parmesan cheese grated
  • kettle-cooked dill pickle chips crushed, for the “Triple Dill” crunch finish

Instructions
 

Heat and prep the crust

  • Preheat the oven to 500°F and give it time to fully heat.
  • Drizzle the pizza dough with olive oil, then spread it to your shape so it stays even.

Sauce and layering (the moisture-smart way)

  • Cover the pizza dough with the garlic cream sauce.
  • Pat the pickle slices very dry between paper towels until they stop glistening.
  • Top with the cheese blend, followed by the pickles and bacon (if using).

Bake until bubbly and golden

  • Sprinkle dill on top of the pizza, and bake on the bottom or middle rack, switching to the top rack after about 7 minutes.
  • Bake for 10–15 minutes total, or until the cheese becomes golden brown and starts to bubble.

Finish and serve

  • Immediately top with crushed kettle-cooked dill pickle chips while the cheese is still molten so they cling.
  • Serve with ranch dressing, grated cheese, and more dill, if you like.
  • Enjoy your tasty pickle pizza.

Notes

Dry the pickle slices thoroughly before topping to prevent a soft crust, and keep the sauce-to-crust ratio modest for the crispiest bake.
