Pizza night is always a favorite around here. The boys love is because, well, boys just love pizza! I love it because it’s fast and easy and no one whines about having to finish what’s on their plate. I have been trying to branch out for the usual pepperoni and definitely found a winner in this one!
Instead of a red sauce, this pizza uses ranch dressing with a good bit of garlic mixed in. I know ranch on pizza doesn’t sound very appealing but I promise it’s really good with the chicken and the fresh tomatoes that are added on top. And the combination of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan is just perfect!
It’s definitely going to become a regular in our pizza rotation!
(I served the Cheesy Breadsticks with it! They were great together!)

Oh I love pizza night for that reason too- no whining! This looks delicioys! But say it isn’t so…are you cheating on Diet Coke?! ;)
ha! Don’t you know I’m cheap? I buy whatever Target has on sale!
Pizza night is one of my favorites here too! We’ve been ordering it a lot lately because I’ve been lazy but homemade really is better.
we’ve done this! I love ranch on pizza. We typ still like tomato sauce on it so we just end up using A LOT of fresh tomatoes.
BF likes getting wings/tenders when we get pizza so he has extra blue cheese or ranch to put on the pizza, esp the crust.
Ummm ranch on pizza always sounds amazing! Love this.
Mmmm this looks good! Our little one is too young to whine about dinner, he just gets to nibble on pieces of the inside crust. But we make pizza at least every other week. I’ll have to give this a go some time. :)
Yum! I’ve been wanting to try chicken ranch pizza. I hear it’s uber. Yours looks great!
WOW!!! This is definitely going on my list :)
That looks so easy and yummy!
YUM!! Pizza night is always a win in our house too… no complaints, everyone gets what they want and we all go to bed happy. Ill have to make this the next time, everyone is feeling for pizza ( which is more often than i’d like to admit :$)
Pizza is just what I’ve been craving! This looks delicious!
I so need to make this. Like, now. But maybe bacon should join this pizza party.
Yes! Please add bacon and let me know how amazing it is! I think it would be perfect. :)
This looks good…. But it is a playoff of Papa Murphy’s Pizza
I love pizza night! Any time you can make one meal for the entire family it is a good night! My ranch obsessed on and hubby would love this!
I love mixing up pizza night :) We made a ranch pizza on the grill all last summer. I think I may have gotten sick of it because it totally fell out of the rotation. Time to bring it back!

I made a chicken Caesar pizza recently and it was very good, so I can imagine your ranch pizza was very good too!
