Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Pre-made pizza crust
- 1.5 cups Leftover BBQ pulled pork or shredded chicken
- 0.5 cups BBQ sauce
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 0.5 cups Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for brushing the crust)
- 2 tablespoons Cornmeal (for dusting the baking surface)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
Lightly dust your work surface or a piece of parchment paper with cornmeal. Roll out the pre-made pizza crust to your desired thickness if it's not already pre-rolled.
Brush the crust lightly with olive oil to help it crisp up in the oven.
Evenly spread the BBQ sauce over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Scatter the leftover BBQ pulled pork or shredded chicken over the BBQ sauce layer.
Top the meat with shredded mozzarella cheese, distributing it evenly across the pizza.
Add pineapple chunks and sliced red onion on top of the cheese, ensuring even coverage for a balanced bite.
Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly for 3-5 minutes. If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the top as a garnish.
Slice into pieces and serve hot. Enjoy!
