This pickle pizza will convince you that this condiment belongs on pizza! Brush the dough with garlic dill sauce and cover in gooey cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 recipe Best Pizza Dough, Thin Crust Pizza Dough or Pizza Oven Dough
  • 1/4 cup plain whole milk yogurt or sour cream* (or Greek yogurt with 1/2 tablespoon water)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon each dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
  • 2 dill pickles, thinly sliced and patted dry
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Hot sauce, to garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the pizza dough: Follow the Best Pizza Dough, Thin Crust Pizza Dough or Pizza Oven Dough recipes to prepare the dough. (This takes about 15 minutes to make and 45 minutes to rest.)
  2. Place a pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 500°F. OR preheat your pizza oven (here’s the pizza oven we use).
  3. Make the sauce: Stir together the yogurt, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt and black pepper.
  4. Bake the pizza: When the oven is ready, dust a pizza peel with cornmeal or semolina flour. (If you don’t have a pizza peel, you can use a rimless baking sheet or the back of a rimmed baking sheet. But a pizza peel is well worth the investment!) Stretch the dough into a circle; see How to Stretch Pizza Dough for instructions. Then gently place the dough onto the pizza peel.
  5. Spread a thin layer of the garlic dill sauce over the dough. Add the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese. Add the pickles on top, and sprinkle with dried oregano.
  6. Use the pizza peel to carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone. Bake the pizza until the cheese and crust are nicely browned, about 5 to 7 minutes in the oven (or 1 to 2 minutes in a pizza oven).
  7. Allow the pizza to cool for a minute or two, then if desired add hot sauce. Slice into pieces and serve immediately.

Notes

*You can also substitute about 1/4 cup purchased ranch dressing for the sauce, but we prefer homemade.
