Buffalo Chicken Pizza
Have you ever had one of those days when you're feverishly trying to think of something good for dinner, but can't? Should we eat out, should we stay in, you know the drill, it's a daily dilemma. Today was one of those days. We all draw a complete blank at times. Usually, those are the times that I choose from a few dishes we affectionately call party food. This buffalo chicken pizza is one such meal saver on those days I don't feel especially inspired and the family always gobbles it up.
Helpful Tips for Making Buffalo Wing Pizza
Subs, wings, pizza, veggies and dip, you know, quick foods. I didn't have wings on hand so, I chose the combined flavors of pizza and wings in the form of a buffalo chicken pizza, solving my dilemma. I thought I'd pass along to you my take on this popular spicy pizza.
- This pizza is designed to be quick and easy hence the use of refrigerated pizza dough. You can make your own pizza dough if your prefer, using my recipe for homemade pizza dough.
- You can use your favorite wing sauce for this recipe.
- I make this pizza in a rectangle but you can certainly go with classic round if that's your pleasure.
- If you don't care for bleu cheese Ranch can be used in place of bleu cheese dressing.
