This pizza swaps red sauce for tangy barbecue sauce, then layers on juicy pineapple, red onion, and shredded chicken for a sweet-savory bite. It bakes on a hot stone or sheet pan until the crust is crisp and the cheese is bubbling, making it a fun twist for weeknight dinner or casual get-togethers.

Ingredients

  • 1 pizza dough ball (about 1 pound)
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
  • 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup cornmeal, for dusting

Method

  1. Place a pizza stone or heavy baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 475°F (245°C) for at least 20 minutes.

  2. On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll the pizza dough into a 12-inch round.

  3. Dust a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet with cornmeal and transfer the stretched dough onto it.

  4. Brush the dough lightly with olive oil, then spread the barbecue sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a 1-inch border.

  5. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

  6. Scatter the shredded chicken, diced pineapple, and red onion slices over the cheese.

  7. Slide the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet and bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling, 10 to 12 minutes.

  8. Remove the pizza from the oven and let rest for 3 minutes before slicing.

  9. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and red pepper flakes, slice into 8 pieces, and serve.
