This Buffalo Chicken Pizza is easy to make with blue cheese or ranch and delicious toppings like tangy buffalo chicken, banana peppers, red onions, and more.
Preheat oven to 450° F. Note: If you have a pizza stone, put it in the oven while it preheats for more even cooking and a browner, crisper crust.
Combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and 1 tablespoon of blue cheese. Let the chicken marinate while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
Spread the dough onto a lightly greased, 12-inch pizza pan (or stone). Poke holes in it with a fork to prevent the crust from bubbling up in the oven.
Top with pizza sauce, then with most of the mozzarella. Add the chicken, onions, and banana peppers, then the remaining mozzarella.
Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of blue cheese, along with 1-2 tablespoons of buffalo sauce.
Bake for 13 minutes and remove from the oven.
Combine the melted butter, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder. Brush it over the crust of the pizza and return it to the oven.
Bake for 2-3 more minutes, or until the crust begins to brown.
Garnish with green onions, red pepper flakes, and parsley. Slice and serve!
Notes
Pro Tips
Blue Cheese:I highly recommend Marie's Chunky Blue Cheese dressing for this recipe. It's in the refrigerated area of the produce section. Ranch can be used instead of blue cheese if preferred.
Mozzarella: Low Moisture Whole Milk mozzarella shredded from a block is definitely best for this recipe, it melts very well. (Don't use fresh mozzarella as it's too wet.) I like using Dragone or Galbani.
Pizza Dough: You can use store-bought refrigerated pizza dough for this recipe for an easy shortcut, or you can make my homemade Pizza Dough Recipe!
