I love Buffalo wings so much. The tangy spiciness of the buffalo sauce and the creaminess of ranch and blue cheese is probably one of the best flavor combinations ever created. Wings go with pizza, right? So why not put the flavor of buffalo wings ON a pizza?! It’s a match made in heaven, and so easy to execute. Make up a batch of pizza dough, and top it with spicy buffalo shredded chicken, mozzarella and blue cheeses, and creamy ranch dressing. Serve your Buffalo Chicken Pizza for your next game day party, as an easy weeknight meal, or make it and take it to a potluck. There’s not an event or occasion that won’t be made better by this delicious buffalo pizza. Need More Pizza Ideas? Make Chicken Alfredo Pizza or BBQ Chicken Pizza next!

How to Make Buffalo Sauce
My recipe for Buffalo Wing Sauce uses Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, Butter, and Honey to make the perfect spicy-sweet sauce. I definitely suggest looking for Franks, since it’s the original, and the hot sauce used in Buffalo to make the famous wings. If you can’t find it, you can use your favorite brand of hot sauce instead. The difference between just hot sauce and buffalo sauce is that a good buffalo sauce will use butter to mellow out the heat a bit. You can adjust the spice by increasing or decreasing the amount of butter you use in the sauce. Get more delicious Buffalo Recipes!

Buffalo Pizza Tips
Use fresh pizza dough. I know that I say you can use a pre-baked crust for this recipe, and you totally can, but using fresh dough makes this recipe so much better. Don’t use a rolling pin. When forming pizza dough, a rolling pin will take away the air bubbles in the dough that make for really delicious pizza dough. Instead, shape the dough into a circle by stretching and pulling it with your hands. Have extra sauce available. It’s delicious to have sides of buffalo sauce and ranch available for dipping the pizza into!Use leftover chicken! This recipe works really well with leftover shredded chicken of any type. A grocery store rotisserie chicken is perfect too. The chicken goes under the cheese. It might seem backward to put the chicken under the mozzarella cheese, but it is done this way on purpose. If you don’t protect the shredded buffalo chicken this way, it can dry out or burn.
What to Serve with Buffalo Chicken Pizza
Make this delicious chicken pizza into a meal by serving it with a fresh Caesar Salad and a side of Garlic Bread. Serving appetizers? Put out Buffalo Chicken pizza with cheesy Baked Potato Skins and Crockpot Little Smokies to create a satisfying and delicious snacking spread. Enjoy your Buffalo Chicken Pizza!
