Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a pizza stone or steel in the oven if you have one.
- Lightly flour a clean work surface or a large piece of parchment paper.
- Remove the pizza dough from its packaging and stretch it into your desired shape and thickness.
- Transfer the dough to a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet if using parchment paper.
- Spread about 1/2 cup of ranch dressing evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border for the crust.
- Sprinkle about 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the ranch base.
- Carefully arrange the thoroughly patted-dry dill pickle slices over the cheese layer, overlapping slightly.
- If using, scatter beef bacon bits or thinly sliced red onion over the pickles.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the pickles and other toppings.
- Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 12-18 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
- Sprinkle with fresh chopped dill, slice into wedges, and serve immediately.
