Description
A friendly twist on a classic, Pickle Pizza combines tangy dill pickles and creamy ranch with melty cheeses for a savory-sour bite that’s oddly addictive.
Ingredients
1 (14–16 oz) prepared pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
1 cup ranch dressing (plus more for drizzling)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 ½ cups dill pickle slices (patted dry)
1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing crust)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to warm.
2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to fit your tray or stone. Transfer to parchment for easy handling.
3. Spread ranch dressing evenly over the dough, leaving 1 inch for the crust edge.
4. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the ranch layer.
5. Arrange dill pickle slices across the top, blot them with a paper towel to avoid excess moisture.
6. Brush crust edges with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
7. Transfer pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden brown.
8. Drizzle extra ranch on top, slice, and serve warm!
