If you love pizza and pickles then have we got the recipe for you!
To be fair, I don't really love pickles but they go really well on this pizza. You start with a garlic sauce instead of tomato based so it's deliciously different. The recipe, as written makes 2 large pizzas.
I cut the second into slices and individually wrapped and froze them. Just pop them in the microwave for a minute or two and they are a great, quick lunch/snack.

Garlic Pickle Pizza
Ingredients
Garlic Sauce
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayo
1 tsp dried dill
1 Tbsp pickle juice
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp pepper
Pizza
2 (1 lb each) balls of pizza dough
(We double THIS RECIPE for dough)
1 jar sliced pickles (about 3 cups)
1/2 cup sliced onions
3 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1 tsp dried parsley (for garnish)
Directions
Preheat oven to 425. Lightly grease 2 large pizza pans (or line with parchment paper). You can also use one large cookie sheet or 4 - 8 inch pans.
Prepare the garlic sauce by mixing the sour cream, mayo, dill, pickle juice, garlic powder, garlic, and pepper together well. Set side. (This can be made a day ahead if you want more intense flavor.)
Press the pizza dough to the edges of the prepared pan.
Spread half of the sauce on each pizza.
Top with pickles, onions, mozza, parmesan.
Bake at 425 for about 15 - 20 minutes, rotating once halfway. Top should be bubbly and brown.
Cut into pieces and serve hot.
You can use store bought pizza dough or make your own. Our recipe can be found HERE. (Just remember to double it) You can even use pita shells, Pillsbury crust, or tortillas as a base if you prefer.
Garlic pickle pizza is super simple to whip up and freezes very well.
There is no need to add extra salt as the pickle themselves are quiet salty.
Our mom loves this and she is not a big pizza fan. She says it reminds her of a grilled cheese with pickles on it. FYI - do yourself a favor and make extra of the garlic sauce. It's delicious as a veggie dip or salad dressing!
