Buffalo Chicken Pizza (Printable)

Experience a unique pizza with spicy buffalo chicken, creamy ranch, and cheeses on a golden crust. A tangy, satisfying dish.

# What You Need:

→ For the Pizza Crust

01 - 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

→ For the Buffalo Chicken

03 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
04 - 1/3 cup buffalo wing sauce (like Franks RedHot)

→ For the Creamy Sauce

05 - 1/3 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing

→ Toppings

06 - 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
07 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
08 - 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
09 - 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
10 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onions

# Directions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 475°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
02 - On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza peel. Brush the edges with olive oil.
03 - In a medium bowl, toss the cooked chicken with buffalo sauce until well coated.
04 - Spread ranch (or blue cheese) dressing evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
05 - Scatter the buffalo chicken evenly over the sauce. Top with mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Add red onion slices and blue cheese crumbles (if using).
06 - Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and lightly browned.
07 - Remove from oven. Sprinkle with chopped chives or green onions. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The ranch underneath creates this incredible creamy barrier that keeps the crust perfectly crisp
  • Everything gets that gorgeous golden bubbly cheese pull that makes pizza nights legendary
02 -
  • Room temperature dough stretches so much easier than cold dough which keeps springing back on you
  • Letting the pizza rest for a few minutes after baking prevents all that cheese from sliding off when you slice
03 -
  • A pizza stone makes a noticeable difference in crust texture but a preheated baking sheet works too
  • Extra buffalo sauce drizzled over the top after baking adds a fresh punch of heat
