Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet inside to heat up.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the vegan pizza dough into a 12-inch circle and set aside.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the vegan chicken strips. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Season with salt and black pepper, then remove from heat.
Spread half of the barbecue sauce evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a slight border for the crust.
Scatter the shredded vegan mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauced dough.
Arrange the sautéed vegan chicken strips on top of the cheese.
Add the sliced red onion and red bell pepper over the pizza for added texture and flavor.
Drizzle the remaining barbecue sauce on top of the pizza.
Carefully transfer the pizza onto the heated pizza stone or baking sheet using a pizza peel or the back of a baking tray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro.
Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing into wedges and serving.
