Pizza night is a real thing for my family and this Buffalo chicken pizza doesn’t disappoint!
Tangy Buffalo Chicken Pizza
If slow cooker Buffalo chicken tacos and Buffalo chicken quesadillas weren't enough, check out this Buffalo chicken pizza. Cheesy pizza crust topped with smoky slow cooker chicken, blue cheese crumbles, and Ranch drizzles; it's 100% Buffalo perfection! -If I say so myself.
During extra busy weeks, I tend to go heavy on the slow cooker dinners, since I can "set it and forget it”. This week, my meal plan included crockpot chicken tacos so I chose to use the leftovers to create this masterpiece for another incredible dinner.
This recipe yields enough to enjoy at least two amazing meals, which is another reason it's one of my favorites. Tacos one night, pizza the next… you get my drift. You could also use it to stuff a potato or stir into mac and cheese. Don't forget the blue cheese and Ranch, that's a must!
What You Need
To get this party started, you'll need my easy recipe for slow cooker Buffalo chicken or a rotisserie chicken if you’re in a hurry. Then, you can assemble your pizza with these staples:
- Cheese pizza: sometimes I use homemade dough, but most times, store-bought cheese pizza does the trick.
- Buffalo sauce: it can also be homemade or from the store.
- Cooked Buffalo chicken: super easy to make with the recipe I shared above and in the recipe card below.
- Mozzarella cheese: my favorite for pizza, but you can use any other you like.
- Blue cheese crumbles: a flavor that pairs amazingly well with all things Buffalo!
- Ranch dressing: optional but highly recommended if you want to drool.
Using Rotisserie Chicken
In case you didn't get a chance to make the crockpot chicken, you can still make this pizza happen by purchasing a rotisserie chicken. All you have to do is shred the meat, mix it with the Buffalo sauce, and give it a quick warm in a skillet or microwave.
This should yield enough for two recipes. It's not quite the same as the slow cooker version, but it will satisfy any Buffalo lover.
How to Make Buffalo Chicken Pizza
Want to make the buffalo chicken last a while? Double the recipe, use as needed and freeze the leftovers for up to 2 months. I can totally see this being a habit! But first, check out how easily this Buffalo chicken pizza comes together:
- Prep the oven
While the oven preheats, line a pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper to keep the pizza from sticking. - Add the toppings
First, add Buffalo sauce, then the chicken, mozzarella, and blue cheese. - Bake
Bake according to the pizza package directions. Once done, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

You can give this pizza a tasty upgrade by adding sliced red onions, green onions, red pepper flakes for a little heat, sliced olives, tomatoes, or cubed ham.
What to Serve with Buffalo Chicken Pizza
This Buffalo chicken pizza is a stand-alone meal, but it also leave some room to add extra nutrition on the side! For me, pizza night is great to add a serving of veggies, like a side salad, carrot fries, roasted frozen vegetables, or cheesy cauliflower rice.
