Ingredients

1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced dill pickles, patted dry

Step 5: Arrange the dried dill pickle slices evenly over the cheese.
Step 6: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over the pickles.

Tips & Variations

Patting the pickle slices dry is important to prevent the pizza from becoming soggy.
Adjust the amount of garlic to suit your taste.
For an extra kick, use spicy dill pickles or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the ranch base.
This pizza is best enjoyed fresh for the best texture and flavor.

Storage

Store any leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to maintain crispness, rather than using a microwave which can make the crust soggy.
