Ingredients

1 pre-made pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup pizza sauce

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup dill pickles, sliced (adjust to taste)

1/4 cup sliced red onions

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried dill weed

1 tablespoon olive oil

Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a crispy crust.

Prepare the Crust: Place the pre-made pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone, ensuring it's spread out evenly.

Add Pizza Sauce: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border for the crust.

Layer the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.

Add Pickles and Onions: Distribute the sliced dill pickles and red onions evenly over the cheese.

Season the Pizza: Sprinkle garlic powder and dill weed over the toppings for added flavor. If desired, add crushed red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.

Drizzle Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the top to enhance browning and flavor.

Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Cool and Slice: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Slice into wedges.

Serve: Enjoy your pickle paradise pizza either warm or at room temperature. Feel free to garnish with extra dill or crushed red pepper if desired!
