"The difference in this pizza is the homemade sauce. Feel free to add bacon or experiment with the cheese. Enjoy! My prep time includes time for the crust to rise."

This was a hit! Everyone loved it, I was running short on Dill pickles, so I shredded what I had to make it go further. Also, I used mozza and cheddar, as I had no American cheese. I used the same pizza crust mentioned in the recipe, and it was way better than my normal crust. All around, this ones a keeper! Thanks :)

A hit! Great sauce makes it taste just like cheeseburger. I added bacon and only half of the pickles.

Very good! I made it as directed. I did chop the pickles and tore the American cheese so that every bite was delicious! My family said it tasted just like a cheeseburger. I might not add the sugar the next time, but it was like a tangy sauce as is. I added a few pieces of cooked turkey bacon as well as some spinach (always like to get. In a few extra veggies when I can). Definitely will make this again.
