Best Easy Pickle Pizza Dinner Recipe for Quick Meals

🧄🥒 Garlic Pickle Pizza

📝 Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 package (13 oz) thin-crust pizza dough, or use homemade dough

For the Garlic Sauce:

  • 1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed

  • ¾ cup (172.5 g) sour cream

  • ¼ cup (58 g) mayonnaise

  • 1–2 teaspoons water (to thin as needed)

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

For the Toppings:

  • 2–3 dill pickles, thinly sliced

  • 1 cup (113 g) shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ¼ cup (25 g) grated parmesan cheese

Optional Substitutions:

  • Swap sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter version

  • Use a thicker crust—just adjust baking time accordingly

  • Add sliced ham or Canadian bacon for extra protein


👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Make Garlic Sauce
In a medium bowl, whisk together garlic, sour cream, mayonnaise, water, salt, pepper, and lemon juice until smooth.

3. Shape the Dough
Roll the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone.

4. Assemble the Pizza
Spread the garlic sauce evenly over the crust. Arrange the pickle slices on top, then sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

5. Bake
Bake for 16–20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

6. Cool & Serve
Let the pizza cool for about 3 minutes before slicing and serving.


💡 Notes

  • Thin pickle slices prevent sogginess and distribute flavor evenly.

  • Try different cheese blends like cheddar or provolone for variety.

  • Use parchment for effortless cleanup.
