Preheat your oven to 475Β°F (245Β°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a thin circle or rectangle, depending on the shape of your pizza stone or baking sheet.
Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough onto a piece of parchment paper to make transferring to the oven easier.
Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil to help it crisp up during baking.
Spread the raspberry chipotle barbecue sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Scatter the shredded chicken over the sauce, followed by the mozzarella cheese and smoked gouda cheese.
Top the pizza with the thinly sliced red onion for a bit of crunch and extra flavor.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before slicing and serving.
