Pickles on pizza might sound unexpected, but one bite and it makes sense. Our Hot Honey Pizza Sauce brings the sweet heat, pepperoni brings the savory, and the pickles add a little tang and crunch. Serve it with ranch for dipping, and you’ve got a pizza everyone will be reaching for on game day.

½ cup ricotta
3 tablespoons pickle brine
1 tbsp Smash Kitchen Classic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and pepper to taste
(Pizza)
1 pizza dough
Cornmeal, for dusting
Smash Kitchen Hot Honey Pizza Sauce

Instructions
(Pickle Ricotta)
Stir together the ricotta, pickle brine, olive oil, salt and pepper, until smooth. Set aside.
(Pizza)
Preheat the oven to 475°F. If using a pizza stone or steel, place it in the oven while it heats.
Dust a baking sheet or pizza peel with cornmeal. Stretch the dough into a 12-inch round and place it on the prepared surface.
Spread a thin layer of Hot Honey Pizza Sauce over the dough, leaving a border for the crust. Top with mozzarella, pepperoni, and sliced pickles.
Bake for 10–15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Spoon dollops of pickle ricotta over the pizza, topped with more pickle slices. Finish with a drizzle of honey and red pepper flakes, if desired. Slice and serve.
