Ranch and Dill Pickle Pizza Recipe
A bold, creamy, tangy twist on traditional pizza that brings ranch lovers and pickle fans together in one unforgettable slice. Comfort food with a quirky edge that just works.
Ingredients
- 14 oz pizza dough store-bought or homemade, room temperature
- 0.75 cup ranch dressing thick style, homemade or bottled
- 1 cup low-moisture mozzarella shredded
- 1 cup dill pickles thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil for brushing crust
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt light sprinkle over toppings
- 1 teaspoon dried dill for garnish after baking
- to taste hot sauce optional, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) if using a baking sheet. For a baking stone or steel, set the oven to its highest temperature and preheat for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll or stretch the pizza dough into a 12 to 14-inch circle. Place it on a floured pizza peel or baking sheet.
- Use a fork to prick the dough all over. Brush the crust edges lightly with olive oil.
- Spread ranch dressing evenly over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border.
- Layer garlic slices, then shredded mozzarella, and arrange pickle slices evenly on top. Lightly sprinkle with kosher salt.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes on a baking sheet or 5–8 minutes on a stone/steel, until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
- Sprinkle with dried dill and drizzle with hot sauce if desired. Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
- Keep your pickles cold and blot them dry to preserve their crunch.
- Use just enough ranch to coat the dough without overloading it.
- For added depth, try half smoked mozzarella.
- Always preheat your oven thoroughly for the best crust.
