Dill Pickle Pizza (and Easy Homemade Dough)
Report
Pickles on Pizza! I never thought I’d like the idea, then once upon a time I tried Dill Pickle Pizza with garlic sauce. It changed my entire outlook on pickle pizza. The combination of cheesy, garlicky, and tangy flavors is seriously good! And there’s ranch on the side for dipping.

Ingredients
Homemade Pizza Dough:
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)
- 1 cup warm water 105-110°F (40-43°C)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Garlic Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons minced garlic (I used about 8 cloves)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Toppings:
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded or cubed
- 5 whole chilled pickles thinly sliced
Optional for serving:
- Parmesan Cheese
- fresh dill
- ranch dressing
Instructions
- Prepare Pizza Dough: In a small bowl, combine yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly. Mix together flour, salt, olive oil and yeast mixture with a wooden spoon until the dough just begins to come together.
- Scrape the dough onto a well-floured counter and knead the dough by hand for about 5 minutes until it’s soft and elastic. Place the dough in a greased mixing bowl.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm and dry area for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size. (If you are preparing in advance, see the recipe note for freezing instructions.)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven and pizza stone to 450°F for about 30 minutes.
- Get other ingredients ready while the oven is preheating. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic and Italian seasoning. Shred mozzarella cheese, and cut the pickles into thin slices. Set aside fresh dill and grated parmesan cheese. (It’s important to get the excess juices out of your pickles.)
- Assemble the Pizza: Stretch the dough by gently flattening the dough ball into a 12-inch (30cm) circle. Transfer it to a pizza stone or non-stick pizza pan. Use a fork to poke holes across the surface of the dough.
- Brush the dough with garlic sauce and spread it evenly. Add shredded mozzarella and distribute it evenly over the entire surface. Add sliced pickles on top of the cheese.
- Bake the pizza: Bake for about 13 to 15 minutes until the cheese is melted, and the crust is golden brown.
- Remove the pizza carefully from the oven, and transfer to a wooden cutting board. Garnish with grated parmesan cheese and fresh dill. Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
- If preparing the dough in advance, let it rise first. Then wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe bag. You can store the homemade dough in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours or frozen for 3 months.
- Thaw the dough in the refrigerator, and bring it to room temperature before using (let is sit in a greased bowl covered with plastic wrap for at least 30 minutes).
- As each oven works differently, I recommend checking doneness after 10 minutes. Less time will yield softer crust and longer time will give you crispy crust.
