This crowd-pleaser is a fast favorite for kids and adults and will leave you drooling for more cheesy, dill-infused goodness. Instead of a classic red sauce, this pizza is topped with refrigerated ranch. It makes a creamy base for tangy dill pickles, mozzarella cheese, and crushed red pepper flakes. We opted for purchased pizza dough to keep this pickle pizza recipe weeknight friendly. You can find refrigerated or frozen dough in the grocery store. You can also buy dough from your favorite pizza restaurant. It usually comes ready to stretch in a small ball. If you'd like to make your own dough, a basic pizza dough recipe is the perfect base for this homemade pizza. When making this dill pickle pizza, it's important to spread a layer of cornmeal on your pizza peel or baking sheet. This ensures the dough doesn't stick and helps with slicing later. Once baked, this pizza is best served warm from the oven with a generous sprinkle of fresh dill. Our Taste Testers preferred a light sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes but you can make it as spicy as you like. Try serving each slice with additional ranch for dunking. Pickles Could Be the Pizza Topping Coming for Slices Everywhere in 2023 Ingredients ⅓ cup ranch dressing 1 Tbsp. dill pickle juice 1½ tsp. fresh dill Cornmeal 1 pound purchased pizza dough or 1 portion Homemade Pizza Dough 2 cups shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese ½ cup dill pickle slices ½ tsp. crushed red pepper Directions Place a pizza stone on the lowest oven rack. Preheat oven to 500°F. Allow the oven to fully preheat before cooking the pizza. In a small bowl, stir together ranch dressing, pickle juice, and chopped dill until completely mixed. Test Kitchen Tip: For better flavor, we recommend using a refrigerated ranch. It can be found near the bagged salads in your grocery store. You can also use homemade ranch or bottled salad dressing. Dust a pizza peel or baking sheet with cornmeal. Transfer the pizza dough to a lightly floured work surface. Stretch the dough to a 12- to 14-inch circle, being sure not to flatten the outer ½-inch border. Transfer stretched pizza dough to peel. To assemble the pizza, spread ranch sauce over the dough. Top with 1½ cups of shredded cheese. Layer pickle slices evenly over the cheese. Finish with the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheese. Gently slide the pizza onto the heated pizza stone. Bake until the crust is browned and the cheese is fully melted, about 10 minutes. Serve the pizza with pickles hot, sprinkled with the crushed red pepper and additional fresh dill.
