I usually have an idea of what I want to write in a blog post before I even sit down to write. But if I have no idea of a story I want to share, or any idea of what I want to write, I usually go completely blank. And I’m having one of those blank times right now. Which actually, is totally unexpected because my husband started a new job this week, and I’ve barely seen him. You would think I’d have all kinds of things to talk about since I have spent the majority of the week talking to a 2 1/2 year old and a 6-month old!
I guess I just talk about the pizza, right? That’s what you are really here for anyway!
This pizza….oh this pizza. We all know that I am drawn towards anything buffalo themed, anyway, so when I saw a buffalo chicken pizza, I was all over it. And all of you nay-sayers that say that Rachael Ray’s recipes can’t really be made in 30 minutes – give this one a try. I totally had this done in 30 minutes, except for the fact that I made my own pizza dough. That added on about 10 minutes, but you could totally use store bought dough, or dough that you made earlier and froze. But this one is totally perfect for a weeknight.
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 Mozzarella. It would still be good. Easy, fast, and packed with flavor – what else could you ask for??

- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 to 4 tablespoons wing sauce
- 2½ cups cooked, shredded chicken
- salt and pepper
- 1 pound pizza dough, store bought or homemade
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- ½ cup blue cheese crumbles
- 1-2 green onions, thinly sliced
- Place a pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 425ºF for 30 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Add the Worcestershire sauce and the wing sauce, then add the chicken and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- On a piece of parchment paper, roll the pizza dough out. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough to 1-inch of the edges. Spread the chicken evenly over the sauce, followed by the Monterey Jack cheese then the blue cheese crumbles.
- Bake in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle the green onions over the pizza before serving.

Love this flavor….pretty sure I would have to fight my hubby for the last slice. 😉
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!
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.
yeah that looks pretty awesome!
I used to make this pizza weekly but forgot about it – thanks for reminding me! I’m adding it to next week’s menu!
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!
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!
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!
I am loving buffalo chicken inspired dishes lately. And the 30 minute really makes this a perfect weeknight meal for me 🙂 Looks delicious!
I love all thing s buffalo too. I am stalking all of your buffalo recipes lol
This one is going into the must try folder!!!
I’ve made this before too and it is really good! I can attest that it is made in 30 minutes! Yum!
That sure does look tasty. It’s about time to make another pizza!
I definitely have those blank moments…but this pizza speaks for itself! Buffalo heaven.
You had me at buffalo first. Pizza second. I’m making this!
Looks amazing and I bet it taste delicious!
Buffalo chicken is good, always. But in a pizza form? Perfect!
This looks incredible. I love anything hot and spicy and if it has cheese too it’s even better!
Give me buffalo chicken anything and I’ll be a very happy girl. Frank’s Red Hot makes the best buffalo sauce!
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.
Wow- what a great looking pizza! I can’t wait to try it out. Thanks for the tasty dinner idea!
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!
