Don’t you just love pizza? You can make almost anything, and if it has the word “pizza” in the title, you can rest assured I am going to like it! I am always looking to make and try new things in my kitchen.
Anyway, I wanted something different and not the typical tomato-based pasta sauce. I always enjoy tomato-based sauces, but in this case, I wanted to try something with ranch. If there is anything I like more than pizza, it’s ranch dressing, so it makes sense to combine them. My Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole is one of our favorite dinners!
Let me tell you, ranch goes beautifully with chicken and this amazing coconut flour pizza crust. Everything in this pizza recipe is homemade, and it’s cooked to perfection every time. The best part is that you can make this ranch pizza quickly, and it tastes better than what you can get at your local pizza parlor.

With this blend of dry seasoning, you don't need a ranch seasoning packet or bottled dressing. The flavor is better and the ingredients are healthier for you.

THANK YOU Taryn for this pizza recipe, it couldn't have come at a better time!! My family has been craving homey comfort foods being cooped up in the house and I think this will hit the spot. Since we found out that my husband is a type 2 diabetic a couple years ago I am on a constant hunt for comfort foods and desserts to keep hubby happy and healthy!! Recipes like this prove that eating well does not have to be boring! Along with watching what we eat, we have also been trying to stay active which has recently become a little more difficult as I'm sure you can imagine.
