- Spread the Alfredo sauce on the pizza dough and sprinkle with the mozzarella.
- Combine the garlic and Italian seasoning in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the cheese. Top with the pickles.

Notes
If using store bought pizza dough, use their directions for baking.
To cook pizza on a grill: Heat grill to high heat. Brush grill grate with olive oil. Carefully place formed pizza dough on hot grill. The dough will begin to puff almost immediately. When the bottom crust has lightly browned, turn the dough over using two spatulas. Working quickly, proceed with step 3 of the instructions. Close the lid, and cook until the cheese melts. Remove from grill, and set aside to cool for a few minutes.
