Ingredients
For the Pizza Base:
- 1 pre-made pizza crust (or homemade dough, about 12 inches)
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing (for the base sauce)
For the Toppings:
- 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

- 2 tbsp red onion, thinly sliced (optional)

- Distribute the buffalo chicken evenly across the pizza. Add the remaining cheese on top, followed by the red onion slices (if using).
- Bake the Pizza
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
- Garnish and Serve
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions for a fresh touch.
- Optional Drizzle
- Drizzle additional buffalo sauce or ranch/blue cheese dressing over the pizza before serving.
