Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
A BLT pizza is as delicious as it sounds – topped with your favorite BLT items and spread with a garlic aioli.  Use fresh seasonal produce to make this spin on a summer classic: BLT pizza (bacon lettuce tomato pizza!)

I love making food with Ben in the kitchen and I have another great recipe for cooking with kids.  Cooking with kids in the kitchen can be challenging.  To help with that, a bit ago, I shared some of the best recipes to make with kids in the kitchen.  Add this pizza to that list and you can’t go wrong.
Ingredients for a delicious BLT Pizza Recipe

What ingredients do you need to make BLT Pizza?

  • Pizza crust
  • Mayonnaise
  • Garlic clove
  • Shredded mozzarella
  • Bacon
  • Tomato
  • Lettuce
  • Fresh basil
The most delicious BLT Pizza Recipe
When you are trying to have little ones help in the kitchen, I find that it is best to give them simple tasks so they feel involved and will be so proud.  For pizza, the best task to have them help with is simply adding the toppings!
How to make the best BLT Pizza
My favorite topping on this pizza, especially during the summer months, is the fresh tomatoes!  In Wisconsin, when the produce in Wisconsin is in season, it can’t be beat!  I know most people would pick bacon as their fave – and it is delish – but I’m team tomato all day when they’re in season (the rest of the time we’re not that big of tomato fans, but fresh ones are the exception – I even have some growing in my little city garden)!
Since you already have tasty tomatoes on top of the pizza, you don’t really need a tomato sauce. Instead, I use a garlic aioli instead and it is so so good.  And it only takes two ingredients to make yourself; mayonnaise and garlic!
Easy and kid approved BLT pizza
This BLT pizza recipe has all of the great BLT flavors that we all love.  I’ve loved them for years and even made a BLT dip a few years ago that remains a favorite anytime I make it.  If you’ve tried and loved that dip, you know you’ll love this pizza too.
A pizza recipe perfect for cooking with kids
Ben loves getting involved in the kitchen so I try to give him easy tasks to be part of the cooking.  He loves to chop almost anything using his kid-safe knives.  And for the BLT pizza recipe, I let him sprinkle on the toppings (most of which he cuts) and he’s thrilled!
A pizza recipe great to make with kids
I’ve been making a lot of pizzas at home and love to use a smaller version of the crust from my sheet pan pizza recipe.  It’s simple and comes out perfect every time. I also included a how-to make pizza crust in the recipe card notes section, or you could use a store bought pizza dough.
The best pizza with bacon, lettuce and tomato
In case you’re wondering what BLT pizza toppings are:
  • garlic aioli
  • shredded mozzarella cheese
  • bacon
  • tomato
  • lettuce
  • a little fresh basil

So, pretty much just the same as the sandwich with some added cheese and a little bit of fresh basil if you have any, which takes the pizza to the next level!

The best recipe for a BLT pizza
To make the pizza, simply lay out the pizza dough, spread the aioli and top with the delicious BLT toppings.  Bake the pizza for 12-18 minutes, remove from oven and top with those delicious summer tomatoes.

I hope you love transforming a classic sandwich into a tasty pizza that everyone can fall in love with!
Here are some of the things I used to make this pizza with Ben!

Notes

Pizza crust and be store bought or homemade using my sheet pan pizza recipe and modifying it to make it smaller. Here is the pizza dough recipe:
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 3/4 cups -2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
In a large bowl combine warm water and yeast, allow to rest for 5 minutes until the yeast starts to bubble. Add the sugar and stir to dissolve.
Add in the salt, olive oil and 1 3/4 cups ap flour. Mix well with a wooden spoon or dough attachment on a stand mixer - may need a little more flour if your dough is sticky.
Knead dough with hands for a few minutes. Put in a bowl, cover bowl with plastic wrap and allow to rest until doubled in size (about an hour to two hours).
Place dough on a lightly floured surface and roll out to pan size.
Par bake for 6 minutes at 400 before adding toppings.

For the lettuce, I used Romaine

For tomatoes, you can use roma or vine
