01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix together the oil and garlic, then brush this flavorful mixture all over the pizza crust. Pop the crust into the oven for about 2 minutes to give it a quick head start.

Step 2
Take it out and sprinkle a good layer of pepper Jack and Cheddar cheese evenly over the crust. Slide it back in the oven just until the cheese melts, which should take around 2 minutes.

Step 3
Next, scatter the crumbled bacon, pickle slices, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes across the cheesy surface. Bake everything together for another 2 minutes so the toppings warm through.

Step 4
When it’s out of the oven, finish things off with a sprinkle of fresh dill for a bright, herby touch. Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This pizza brings together bold flavors that are both surprising and satisfying. The salty crunch of bacon pairs perfectly with the tangy bite of pickles, while garlic adds a rich, savory depth. It's a unique twist on a classic favorite that will delight your taste buds.
How to serve
Serve this pizza with a simple green salad to balance the rich toppings. A cold beer or sparkling water with lemon also pairs well, helping to cut through the bold flavors. For a fun twist, try serving it alongside some spicy dipping sauces.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven or on a skillet for the best texture, avoiding the microwave to keep the crust crisp. If you want to keep it longer, wrap slices tightly and freeze for up to one month.
