Clams Casino Pizza


1 - can of Pilsbury Pizza Crust
7 oz. of whole milk ricotta cheese at room temp
1 garlic clove, minced
1 can of clams, finely chopped (I couldn't find them fresh, so I had to improvise)
crushed red pepper flake
italian seasoning
black pepper, freshly cracked is best!
1 cup of Italian Blend Cheese
1/2 red bell pepper,thinly sliced
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/4 cup of pepperoncini, sliced (I buy them pre-sliced)
3 sliced of bacon, cut into 2" pieces
Preheat oven to 420 degrees.
Spray the cookie sheet with cooking spray to keep the pizza dough from sticking. Unroll the pizza dough and gently spread the dough out using your finger tips.
Mix the minced garlic clove into the ricotta cheese and spread over the pizza crust in an even layer. Sprinkle the cheese mixture with crushed red pepper, italian seasoning, and fresh cracked pepper. Evenly sprinkle the chopped clams and Italian Blend Cheese onto the pizza. Next add the red bell pepper, onions, and pepperoncinis to the pizza in an even layer. Finally add the bacon pieces to the pieces - evenly placing the bacon on the pizza.
Bake until the cheese has melted, the bacon is cooked, and the crust is golden brown. I forgot to check the minutes on how long I cooked the pizza - sorry.
