Homemade pizza crust with BBQ sauce, ranch, and LOTSA bacon!! Your soon-to-be all-time favorite pizza.

Aldi use to keep a pizza like this one in stock, and we were OBSESSED. I could have seriously eaten it for every meal and never been done. But in recent months, it’s unfortunately disappeared from their shelves (at least in our area anyway).

I’m hoping this is just a temporary condition, but in the meantime we needed a replacement in our house STAT! So we started making this homemade version of their Bacon Extreme Pizza, and it is fantastic.

Homemade pizza crust with BBQ sauce, ranch, and LOTSA bacon!! Your soon-to-be all-time favorite pizza.
The star ingredient is the BBQ ranch sauce. And it couldn’t be easier to make– you’ll just need equal parts of your favorite BBQ sauce (we always use Sweet Baby Ray’s) and ranch dressing (we use Hidden Valley). Mix them up, and voila!
Spread that on top of my favorite homemade crust (it’s ridiculously easy, you guys), top it with LOTS of mozzarella and cheddar, and of course, an insane amount of chopped bacon.
It’s the perfect balance of sweet and savory with a thick, chewy texture you won’t be able to get enough of.
Enjoy!
