Equipment
- Rolling pin (for shaping the pizza dough)
- Mixing bowls (small and medium)
- Spoon or spatula (for spreading the sauce)
- Chef’s knife or mandoline (for slicing pickles if not pre-sliced)
- Pizza stone or baking sheet (for baking the pizza)
- Parchment paper (to prevent sticking and ease transfer)
- Pastry brush (for brushing olive oil on the crust)
- Oven mitts (for safety when handling hot stone or tray)
- Pizza cutter or sharp knife (for slicing the pizza)
- Cooling rack (optional, to prevent soggy crust post-bake)
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pizza dough or homemade, 12-inch size
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried dill
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 1 cup dill pickle slices thinly sliced, patted dry
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing crust
- Optional: red pepper flakes extra dill for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
- Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to a 12-inch round. Transfer it to a piece of parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix together the sour cream, cream cheese, garlic powder, dried dill, and black pepper until smooth.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and provolone cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Layer the pickle slices on top of the cheese in a single layer.
- Brush the outer crust with olive oil for a golden finish.
- Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment) onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with red pepper flakes or extra dill if desired. Slice and serve!
Notes
- Patting the pickles dry prevents sogginess and keeps the crust crisp.
- Try it with a drizzle of hot honey or ranch for extra flair.
- Great for pickle lovers and adventurous eaters—don't knock it 'til you try it!
