Crispy pizza topped with spicy buffalo chicken, ranch, and melted cheese for a fiery, satisfying meal.

# What You Need:

01 - 1 pound pizza dough, homemade or store-bought

02 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

03 - 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce

04 - 1/3 cup ranch dressing

05 - 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

06 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

07 - 1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion

08 - 2 tablespoons sliced scallions

09 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

10 - Extra buffalo sauce for drizzling

11 - Extra ranch dressing for drizzling

01 - Preheat oven to 475°F. Place pizza stone in oven during preheating if using one.

02 - On a floured surface, roll pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza peel.

03 - Toss shredded chicken with buffalo wing sauce in a bowl until evenly coated.

04 - Spread ranch dressing evenly over dough, leaving a small border for the crust.

05 - Distribute buffalo chicken over sauce. Top with mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Sprinkle with red onion.

06 - Bake for 12-15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly with light browning.

07 - Remove from oven. Drizzle with extra buffalo sauce and ranch. Garnish with scallions and cilantro. Slice and serve immediately.

01 -

The ranch base underneath everything keeps each bite outrageously creamy while taming the heat just enough
That moment when the buffalo sauce caramelizes against the hot cheese is the kind of kitchen alchemy that makes people forget their manners

02 -

Prebaking the crust for 5 minutes before adding toppings prevents that soggy middle disaster that haunts pizza dreams
The ranch layer acts like a barrier sauce, keeping the dough from getting soaked by all that buffalo chicken goodness

03 -

Room temperature dough stretches easier than cold dough, so take it out of the fridge about 30 minutes before you start
If your sauce seems too thick, mix in a teaspoon of water to help it spread evenly over the chicken
