Instructions
- Preheat the Oven – Set your oven to 450°F (232°C). If using a pizza stone, place it inside the oven to preheat.

- Add Cheese – Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Top with Pickles – Arrange sliced dill pickles over the cheese. If you like extra pickles, don’t be shy!
- Bake the Pizza – Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
- Garnish & Serve – Remove the pizza from the oven, sprinkle with fresh dill, and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve with ranch dressing or hot honey for extra flavor!
