Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 prepared pizza crust (or 1 pound of pizza dough)
Buffalo Chicken Topping
- 2½ cups shredded cooked chicken
- ½ cup Buffalo hot sauce (plus more for serving)
- ⅓ cup ranch dressing (plus more for serving)
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onion
- 2 cups freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
- ⅓ cup crumbled blue cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a pizza stone or a baking pan inside to heat up as the oven warms, ensuring a crispy crust.
- Prepare Pizza Crust: If using dough, roll it out to your desired thickness on parchment paper. If using a prepared crust, place it directly on parchment paper.
- Mix Buffalo Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with ½ cup Buffalo hot sauce, tossing until the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce.
- Apply Ranch Dressing: Spread ⅓ cup of ranch dressing evenly across the pizza crust in a thin layer, which acts as a creamy base layer for the toppings.
- Add Toppings: Evenly distribute the Buffalo chicken mixture over the ranch-coated crust. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, and ⅓ cup crumbled blue cheese over the chicken.
- Bake the Pizza: Carefully remove the preheated pizza stone or baking pan from the oven. Using the parchment paper as a sling, transfer the pizza onto the hot surface. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, the crust is golden and crispy, and the dough is fully cooked.
- Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, add a sprinkle of extra chopped green onions, drizzle additional ranch dressing and Buffalo sauce to taste. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, pre-bake the crust for 3-5 minutes before adding toppings.
- You can adjust the spiciness by varying the amount of Buffalo sauce used.
- This pizza is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
- If you prefer a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free pizza crust.
- Use fresh, high-quality cheeses for the best flavor.
