Ingredients

1 (13.8 ounce) tube refrigerated pizza crust
1/2 cup ranch dressing
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup thinly sliced dill pickles, patted dry
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a pizza pan or baking sheet.
Step 2: Unroll the pizza crust onto the prepared pan.
Step 3: In a small bowl, combine the ranch dressing and minced garlic. Spread this mixture evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 4: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the ranch mixture.
Step 5: Arrange the dried dill pickle slices evenly over the cheese.
Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Step 7: Remove the pizza from the oven. If desired, sprinkle with fresh chopped dill for an extra burst of flavor.
Step 8: Slice and serve hot.

Tips & Variations

Patting the pickle slices dry helps prevent the pizza from becoming soggy.
For a spicy kick, try adding crushed red pepper flakes over the ranch sauce before baking.
Substitute fresh mozzarella for shredded for a creamier texture.
Use a whole wheat or cauliflower crust for a healthier alternative.

Storage

Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warm and crispy. Avoid microwaving to keep the crust from becoming soggy.

How to Serve

A single slice of pizza resting on a white plate with circular ridges, placed on a white marbled surface. The pizza has a thick, golden brown crust with a slightly puffed edge that looks crispy and well-baked. The base layer is a light, airy dough with a pale color. Above this is a layer of melted white cheese that is soft and creamy with some browned spots from baking. Scattered on top are slices of green jalapeño peppers, adding a hint of green and texture contrast to the cheese layer. The lighting highlights the textures of the crust and toppings beautifully, giving the slice an appetizing look. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use homemade pizza dough instead of refrigerated crust?

Yes, homemade dough works great. Just roll it out to your preferred thickness before adding toppings.

Will the pickles make the pizza soggy?

To prevent sogginess, make sure to pat the pickles dry before placing them on the pizza. This removes excess moisture and keeps the crust crisp.

Notes

Patting the pickle slices dry is crucial to avoid a soggy crust.
Fresh dill is optional but adds a bright, fresh flavor that complements the pickles.
You can use other types of cheese, such as mozzarella blends or provolone, for different flavor profiles.
Adjust garlic amount to your taste if you prefer a milder or stronger flavor.
For an extra crispy crust, pre-bake the pizza crust for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
