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
Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to warm.
Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to fit your tray or stone. Transfer to parchment for easy handling.
Base Layer: Spread ranch dressing evenly over the dough, leaving 1 inch for the crust edge.
Cheese Blend: Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the ranch layer.
Add Pickles: Arrange dill pickle slices across the top. Blot them with a paper towel to avoid excess moisture.
Seasoning: Brush crust edges with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
Bake: Transfer pizza to the preheated oven. Bake 18–20 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden brown.
Finish: Drizzle extra ranch on top. Slice and serve warm!
Notes
Dry the pickles: Blotting them helps avoid soggy pizza.
Cheese variety: Add Monterey Jack or provolone for an extra cheesy pull.
For spice lovers: Toss in some jalapeños or red pepper flakes.
Serving idea: Pair with a cold beer or sparkling soda for the ultimate game-day snack.
Shortcut: Use refrigerated crescent dough for a quick flaky crust.
