Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 batch pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

Buffalo Chicken

  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to heat preference)

Cheeses

  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles

Toppings and Garnishes

  • 2 tablespoons ranch or blue cheese dressing (for drizzling after baking)
  • 2 green onions, sliced thinly

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Buffalo Chicken: Shred cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Melt butter and blend it with buffalo sauce. Toss the chicken thoroughly so each piece is coated evenly with the spicy, tangy mixture.
  2. Preheat and Roll Out the Dough: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Prepare a baking sheet or pizza stone. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to your desired thickness and transfer it to your prep station.
  3. Assemble the Pizza: Spread a thin layer of buffalo sauce on the dough surface. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly. Arrange the buffalo chicken on top, then scatter blue cheese crumbles over the pizza.
  4. Bake Until Golden and Bubbly: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden and the cheese melts and bubbles deliciously.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing. Sprinkle sliced green onions for freshness. Serve hot for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Use warm dough at room temperature for easier stretching and a fluffier crust.
  • Don’t overload toppings to maintain a crisp crust and even cooking.
  • Mix melted butter into buffalo sauce for a smoother, richer coating on chicken.
  • Ensure chicken is fully cooked before tossing in buffalo sauce to prevent dryness.
  • Using a pizza stone or steel helps achieve a perfectly crispy crust, similar to wood-fired ovens.
