Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 (13.8 ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

Toppings

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (divided into 1 1/2 cups and 1/2 cup)
  • 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced dill pickles, patted dry
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a pizza pan or baking sheet to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the pizza.
  2. Prepare the Crust: Unroll the refrigerated pizza crust onto the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly while maintaining a slight border around the edges for the crust.
  3. Make the Ranch-Garlic Base: In a small bowl, combine the ranch dressing with the minced garlic, mixing thoroughly. Spread this mixture evenly over the pizza crust, leaving the crust border free.
  4. Add Cheese and Pickles: Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the ranch base, then arrange the thinly sliced, patted-dry dill pickles evenly on top. Follow with the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese to layer over the pickles.
  5. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.
  6. Finish with Fresh Dill: Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately sprinkle with fresh chopped dill for a bright, herbal finish.
  7. Rest and Serve: Allow the pizza to stand for a few minutes to set before slicing and serving hot for the best flavors and texture.

Notes

  • Patting the pickle slices dry is important to prevent the pizza from becoming soggy.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference for more or less pungency.
  • For an extra kick, use spicy dill pickles instead of regular ones.
  • You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the ranch base for a subtle heat.
  • This pizza is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the crispy crust and vibrant flavors.
