Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough (or use store-bought pizza crust):

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) instant yeast
1 tsp sugar
¾ tsp salt
¾ cup warm water (110°F)
2 tbsp olive oil

For the Sauce:

½ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp sour cream
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp dried dill
¼ tsp black pepper

For the Toppings:

1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded white cheddar cheese
1 cup sliced dill pickles
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)

For Garnish (Optional):

Fresh dill, chopped
Ranch dressing for dipping

Instructions

Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add warm water and olive oil, then knead until a smooth dough forms (about 5 minutes). Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes. If using store-bought dough, skip this step.
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, dried dill, and black pepper. Set aside.
Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer it onto parchment paper for easy handling.
Assemble the Pizza: Spread the garlic-dill sauce over the dough, leaving a small border. Sprinkle mozzarella and white cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Add sliced dill pickles.
Bake: Transfer the pizza (with parchment) onto the hot baking sheet or pizza stone. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Finish & Serve: Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, oregano, and Parmesan cheese. Garnish with fresh dill if desired. Slice and serve with ranch dressing on the side!

Notes

For extra crunch, try using fried pickles instead of regular slices!
If you love spice, add pickled jalapeños or a drizzle of hot honey after baking.
This pairs perfectly with a cold beer or a refreshing lemonade.
