Spice up your pizza night with this Buffalo Chicken Pizza that has buffalo sauced chicken, Monterey Jack cheese and blue cheese.

PIN IT FOR LATER!

This pizza….oh this pizza. I am always drawn toward anything buffalo chicken, so when you throw buffalo chicken on top of pizza I’m all over it. Plus, this one is totally perfect for a weeknight. The thing that takes the longest is preheating the oven!

This was everything I expected it to be. A little bit spicy from the hot sauce, but a little bit cool from the blue cheese. I realize that a lot of people don’t like blue cheese, so if you are one of those, I would just add on some extra Monterey Jack cheese. Easy, fast, and packed with flavor – what else could you ask for??

What is Buffalo Chicken?

Buffalo chicken first became popular in the form of chicken wings that are deep fried and then drenched in buffalo sauce – which is a mixture of pepper sauce and butter. The sauce is usually spicy, sometimes much spicier than others, so the chicken is often served with blue cheese dressing (or ranch dressing) to cool it down. That spicy and cool combination is a real winner for me!

You can easily find wing sauce at grocery stores these days. If you like it really spicy, feel free to pick up a spicy version. I usually try to keep it more mild so it won’t scare the kids away. 🙂

What is on Buffalo Chicken Pizza?

This is just a basic guideline, so feel free to mix things up as you’d like!

I start with my homemade pizza dough. It really is the best dough recipe out there!

Next up is the sauce – I just use a basic pizza sauce. If you like things really spicy, you can use wing sauce here. Or if you want to really cool things down, you could do a thin layer of ranch dressing.

After the sauce, you’ll add your buffalo chicken. I make the sauce by combining wing sauce, butter, and Worcestershire sauce. Then I use shredded chicken (which is one of my favorite time saving tips).

Cheese is next – I use a combination of Monterey Jack and blue cheese crumbles. You could use mozzarella, or leave the blue cheese off if you aren’t a fan.

Last but not least are the green onions, which you’ll add once the pizza has been baked.
