Buffalo Chicken Pizza is a perfect combination of two favorites – buffalo chicken and pizza!

We kept the recipe as simple as possible. You can make it with only 5 ingredients, or go all out and make a homemade pizza crust too!

I’ve made this pizza on Cauliflower Pizza Crust, which is low carb and gluten free, as well as a traditional pizza crust. Both ways taste great.

For the quickest option, use an already prepared pizza dough or pizza crust that you can buy from the grocery store.

Why This Recipe Works

Big flavors! This pizza is spicy, zesty, and cheesy. It’s fun and different which makes it a great choice to break away from the same old pizza.

This is a great recipe to use for meal prep. Simply prepare as instructed, then portion out for the week.

This recipe can be easily modified to suit a low carb, keto diet or gluten free simply by using the appropriate type of pizza crust.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Ingredients

Ingredients needed to make a buffalo chicken pizza on a marble background with text overlay.

1 pizza crust: you can use any type of pizza dough or pizza crust that you like.
1/2 pound chicken {cooked and shredded)
1/2 cup buffalo sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
1/2 cup blue cheese (crumbled)
ranch or blue cheese dressing (optional)

The entire recipe and instructions can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post. You can print the recipe from the card, if needed.

Prep!

If you aren’t using leftover or rotisserie chicken, you’ll need to cook your chicken first, let it cool and shred it. You can season it with just salt and pepper or for some added flavor try using Poultry Seasoning or Adobo Seasoning.

Chef’s Tip: if you have an Instant Pot, this is probably the quickest way to cook super tender chicken that will shred really easily.

Preheat your oven as instructed for the pizza crust you are using.

Create!

Spread your pizza dough out on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Shape into a round or rectangular form, about 1/4″ thick. Pre-bake, if needed, according to the instructions on the pizza crust that you are using.

Note: most pizza dough requires pre-baking the crust.

Tips and Techniques

You can use leftover or rotisserie chicken to speed up the prep time for this recipe.
You can use a store-bought pizza dough or pizza crust. I usually prefer the taste and texture of making my own, but buying one is definitely quicker and easier.
Store leftover pizza in an airtight container. Consume within 3 days.
