Pizza Night Upgrade
We love homemade pizza night, but sometimes plain pepperoni just isn’t what I’m in the mood for.
Chicken, bacon, ranch, and plenty of mozzarella make this one a little different without getting too adventurous.
Crispy bacon, creamy ranch dressing, and freshly shredded mozzarella give you plenty of flavor without a long list of toppings.
And really, it’s hard to go wrong when bacon and ranch are involved.

Ingredient Notes
- Pizza Crust: We love our homemade pizza crust for this recipe, but store-bought works great if you’re short on time.
- Chicken: Leftover chicken, rotisserie chicken, or pre-cooked chicken cubes all work great.
- Ranch Dressing: Homemade or your favorite store-bought ranch dressing is perfect for this pizza.
- Cheese: I like freshly shredded mozzarella. Pre-shredded won’t melt quite as well, but it’s a great shortcut.
- Bacon: I use thick-cut center-cut bacon, but any bacon works, even the pre-cooked variety to make this even easier.
