Description

A tangy, creamy, crunchy twist on traditional pizza, this dill pickle pizza recipe delivers bold flavor with a luscious garlic sauce and golden, cheesy finish.

Ingredients

Scale

1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed
¾ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
¼ cup mayonnaise (or avocado mayo)
1–2 tsp water
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tsp lemon juice
1 package (13 oz) thin-crust pizza dough
2–3 dill pickles, thinly sliced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. If using a pizza stone, place it inside. Line a baking sheet with parchment if preferred.
In a bowl, mix garlic, sour cream, mayo, water, salt, pepper, and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust water for spreadable consistency.
Roll out dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet or pizza stone. Optional: brush edges with olive oil.
Spread garlic sauce evenly on the dough, leaving a ½-inch border.
Pat pickle slices dry and layer over the sauce. Sprinkle mozzarella over pickles, then top with parmesan.
Bake 16–20 minutes until cheese is melted and crust is golden. Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end if desired.
Let rest for 3 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces. Serve warm.

Notes

Pat pickles dry to avoid sogginess. Don’t oversauce. Layer in order: sauce, pickles, mozzarella, then parmesan. Preheating is essential for crust crispiness. Resting the pizza before cutting ensures toppings stay intact.
