Notes
For a smokier flavor, use a hickory or chipotle BBQ sauce. Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to restore crispness. You can swap the chicken for pulled pork or shredded jackfruit for a vegetarian twist. Be careful not to overload the bread with toppings, as it can become soggy. This pizza pairs perfectly with a crisp green salad or roasted vegetables.
