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

After spending the week with two kids I really don’t have a lot to say either….LOL! My husband travels a lot for work and I usually end up feeling like a zombie after I’ve taken care of them on my own for the week.
Buffalo chicken pizza is my all-time favorite pizza. I make a version of this at home, but her sauce recipe is a bit different and definitely worth a try. Looks delicious!
Bev Weidner says
Good. Grief. Almighty.
Girl, I would hitch hike for this pizza. Alone, in the dark, with only 1 bag, I’D DO IT.
And I just might.
Liz says
yeah that looks pretty awesome!
amanda @ fake ginger says
I used to make this pizza weekly but forgot about it – thanks for reminding me! I’m adding it to next week’s menu!
Becca @ Crumbs and Chaos says
I have made a version of this pizza before – it’s amazing! It’s great because I love the flavor of wings, but hate picking the meat off of the bone and I love pizza – win win!
Tasha says
I really don’t ever eat chicken any more, but if there was ever a recipe to make me do it, it would definitely be a buffalo one. I love boneless buffalo anything, and especially a pizza!
Erin @ Dinners, Dishes and Desserts says
I love buffalo flavored everything! I will be giving this pizza a try for sure! This will be perfect when we do make your own pizza. I can have this, 6 year old can have his plain cheese, and hubby can be his normal picky self as well!

Give me buffalo chicken anything and I’ll be a very happy girl. Frank’s Red Hot makes the best buffalo sauce!
Cookin' Canuck says
We have a tradition of making pizza every Friday night and I am always looking for new ideas. This one is definitely next on the list.
Jill @ Healthy Kiddo Snacks says
Wow- what a great looking pizza! I can’t wait to try it out. Thanks for the tasty dinner idea!
Hopie says
I clicked on your link from your comment on Dine and Dish because I, too, am a sucker for anything with buffalo sauce. So good. I probably can’t get buffalo sauce where I live. I think I’m going to have to learn how to make it! And when I do, this recipe’s going at the top of my list of things to do with it.

We have a Friday Night Pizza Night tradition at our house and Buffalo Chicken Pizza makes the menu about once a month. If I know I will be in a time crunch, I usually plan chicken for earlier in the week and just cook up some extra. I toss the chicken in my buffalo sauce (franks and butter), spread some ranch dressing on the pizza crust, top with sauced chicken and mozzerella (I am the only one who likes the blue- so we stick with mozzie). If I have them, I will sometimes add some green onions or red peppers… The ranch dressing makes it- YUM!
