Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by preparing the garlic cream sauce. In a saucepan, combine cream, garlic, and Parmesan cheese over medium heat. Stir continuously until slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes, and keep warm.
  2. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) for a crispy crust. If using a pizza stone, place it inside to heat.
  3. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza peel.
  4. Spread the garlic cream sauce over the pizza dough. Layer with mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Add dill pickles and optional bacon.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven on the pizza stone for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
  6. Remove the pizza from the oven, let cool for a minute, then drizzle ranch dressing if desired, and sprinkle with dill and grated cheese before serving.
  7. Slice into wedges and enjoy warm, possibly with extra ranch for dipping.

Notes

For best flavor, ensure pickles are dried before adding to the pizza to avoid a soggy crust. Serve with a side of garlic shrimp for a complete meal.
