In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine flour and salt. With mixer running, add yeast mixture, followed by olive oil. Mix until a smooth ball forms, knead by hand if necessary. Transfer to a lightly greased bowl, cover and allow to rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Meanwhile, cook and crumble beef, seasoning to taste with salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Cook and chop bacon. Prepare cheese and onion slices.
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil. Shape dough to desired size. Top off with pizza sauce, followed by cooked beef. Sprinkle with mozzarella and pepper Jack cheese. Add bacon and onion. Sprinkle lightly with ground black pepper and finish off with pickle slices.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until desired crispness is reached.
Slice and serve immediately.
