I’m messing with a classic here, but bear with me, it works! I’ve gone ahead and created the ultimate mashup… a BLT on a pizza crust, and I’m telling you, it’s culinary pure bliss!

The tomatoes are baked into the crust for sweet bursts of juiciness in every bite. Then it’s topped with the “B” and “L”— crispy turkey bacon and shredded romaine lettuce—for an extra dose of goodness. And to take it totally over the top, add a few spoonfuls of my Ranch Dressing and a generous drizzle of balsamic glaze. My prediction: This may become your new obsession. (It’s definitely one of mine.)

Why you’ll love this recipe:

  • A fun twist on a classic: All the flavors of a BLT in pizza form!
  • Easy to customize: Use whatever bacon you prefer, add avocado, or maybe even a drizzle of balsamic glaze (like I do).
  • Quick and simple: Use store-bought pizza dough for an effortless meal (or make your own!)
Step 1: Line tomato slices on pizza crust. 
Step 2: Bake for 10 minutes.
Step 3: Prepare Ranch Dressing.
Step 4: Sprinkle shredded lettuce, pieces of turkey bacon, and dollops of ranch over the cooked tomatoes.

I’ll admit it—when it comes to pizza, I love it so much and it’s gotta have cheese but this one is an exception. And honestly? I don’t even miss it! The creamy dollops of ranch on top bring just the right balance to the crispy bacon, juicy tomatoes, and fresh lettuce, making every bite totally irresistible. You just want another and another…

If you love creative pizzas, I’ve got so many more to try! I’m all about reinventing the classic pie with bold flavors and unexpected toppings. Here are a few of my absolute favorites:

Ingredients
 

  • Pre-made pizza crust*
  • 2 to 3 tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 to 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
  • 6 strips of turkey bacon, cooked and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Ranch dressing
  • Balsamic glaze
Ingredient Details to Know
* My directions are for a shelf-stable Boboli. Since brands will vary be sure to follow heating directions on the brand you’re using.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Line tomato slices on pizza crust and mist the tops with olive oil spray. Place in oven for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle the shredded lettuce over the cooked tomatoes. Scatter the turkey bacon pieces evenly on top.
  • Spoon small droplets of Ranch dressing all over your pizza, followed by generous drizzles of balsamic glaze. Cut into slices and enjoy!

Notes

• Add 8 calories per tablespoon of Ranch Dressing and 10 calories per teaspoon balsamic glaze.
• You can buy “frozen or shelf-stable” ready-made shaped pizza crust. Typically, you add your toppings and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes. Check the package and follow the specific brand directions. Comes in all varieties; white flour, whole wheat, gluten-free, cauliflower and more.
• You can buy frozen or refrigerated pizza dough balls; simply let thaw if frozen and roll into a pizza crust shape. Follow directions for adding toppings and oven time/temp.
• You can buy boxed powdery mixes, just like muffin and cake mix.
• You can make your own crust! Recipes are pretty simple (and fun!) to follow and tend to be comprised of flour (bonus points for whole grain), a dash of sugar, dry yeast, salt, olive oil and water. Check out my easy recipe here.
