Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
Lightly flour a clean surface with 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a sheet of parchment paper and brush the edges with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the chopped vegan chicken strips and half of the buffalo sauce. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes until heated through and well-coated with the sauce.
Spread the remaining buffalo sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle 1 cup of vegan mozzarella cheese over the sauce-coated dough.
Evenly distribute the cooked buffalo chicken, red onions, and green bell peppers over the cheese layer.
Top off with the remaining 0.5 cup of vegan mozzarella cheese.
Carefully transfer the pizza with the parchment paper to the hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake the pizza for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
Sprinkle the freshly chopped cilantro over the pizza.
Slice the pizza into 8 slices and serve hot.
