  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons softened cream cheese (light or regular)
  • 1.5 tablespoons dill pickle juice (from your jar of pickles)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill (dill weed) plus a pinch more for the top
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Pizza

  • 1 (8-inch) store-bought pizza crust (prebaked variety recommended)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 small kosher dill pickle (sliced thin and patted dry of excess moisture)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • Chopped fresh dill (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot enough for a crispy crust and melted cheese.
  2. Prepare Sauce: In a small mini food processor, combine the softened cream cheese, dill pickle juice, minced garlic, dried dill, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Process until smooth and fully combined. Alternatively, mix thoroughly by hand using a bowl and spoon or hand mixer if you don’t have a processor.
  3. Assemble Pizza: Place the prebaked pizza crust on a sheet pan. Spread the cream cheese and dill pickle mixture evenly over the crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. If desired, reserve 1 to 2 teaspoons of the sauce for drizzling after baking. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the sauce, then arrange the thinly sliced dill pickles evenly on top. Finish with grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of dried dill for extra flavor.
  4. Bake: Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the pizza is heated through.
  5. Garnish and Serve: If you reserved some sauce, drizzle it over the baked pizza. Sprinkle with fresh chopped dill if using for a fresh herbal finish. Let the pizza rest for 2 to 3 minutes before slicing.
  6. Slice and Enjoy: Cut the pizza into four slices and serve warm. Enjoy the creamy, tangy, and cheesy flavors in every bite!

Notes

  • Use a prebaked pizza crust for the best and easiest results.
  • If you don’t have a mini food processor, mixing by hand is perfectly fine.
  • Pat the dill pickle slices dry to prevent sogginess in the crust.
  • Adjust the amount of dill pickle juice to taste for more or less tanginess in the sauce.
  • Fresh dill garnish is optional but adds a nice fresh flavor and vibrant green color.
