About This Gluten-Free Pizza Recipe
Back in my pre-celiac days, Subway was such an easy place to grab a sandwich, especially in college. Dylan and I even had Subway subs for our first Valentine's Day together our freshman year! And a chicken bacon ranch was my all-time favorite.
Unfortunately, like most fast-food restaurants, Subway isn't a place I frequent any more with celiac disease. Thinking back on the days I could actually get a chicken bacon ranch sub, I decided to replicate the sandwich I loved so much - but in PIZZA form.
Make it Simple: Use a Pre-Made Pizza Crust!
Making homemade pizza from scratch is super fun, but it's a process. It's why I love having the convenience a gluten-free frozen pizza crust like Ugly's Gluten-Free! These crusts are gluten-free and sourdough based and have the best texture out of any pizza crusts I've tried.
Ingredients For Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza
-Your Favorite Gluten-Free Pizza Crust
-Cooked Chicken
-Cooked Bacon
-Monterey Jack & Cheddar Cheese
-Ranch Dressing (I use Ken's as theirs are labeled GF)
-Optional: Chopped jalapeños, for a little spice!
How To Make Gluten-Free Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza
The process for this recipe is super easy. Pre-cook your chicken and bacon so they are good to go. Then once your pizza crust is ready, add your toppings! I start with a layer of ranch dressing (I use Ken's brand which is gluten-free), two types of cheeses (Cheddar and Monterey Jack), followed by chopped bacon and chicken, and for flavor, chopped jalapeños. Yum!
How To Store Leftover Gluten-Free Pizza
Store any leftover pizza in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave, toaster oven, or regular oven when ready to eat.

This is my second time trying this recipe because my husband loved it so much the first time that he kept asking me to make it!! It is one of the easiest pizza recipes I’ve ever tried, gluten-free or otherwise. I consider myself pretty well-versed in pizza making having lived in Sicily for two years in the late 80’s. I did modify the recipe a little by adding bbq sauce on the bottom. It gives it an added kick. Love it!!

Ann, thank you so much for this lovely review! I'm so glad you both enjoyed it and super jealous of your Sicily adventures! BBQ sauce sounds like an excellent addition, too!:)
