What Is Buffalo Chicken Pizza Made Of?
With only a handful of ingredients, you can have a meal that the whole family will love
- Flatbread- You can use lavash flatbread or naan for a quick precooked pizza crust.
- Shredded chicken- I prefer to use leftover rotisserie chicken for an inexpensive and flavorful bite.
- Buffalo sauce- My favorite hot sauce to use for buffalo chicken dishes is Frank's Red Hot. Feel free to use your favorite hot sauce for this dish.
- Mozzarella cheese- Shred your own or use pre shredded cheese to add some creaminess to each bite.
- Ranch dressing- I love to use my homemade keto ranch dressing, but grabbing a bottle of store-bought keeps things super simple.
- Green onion- Optional, but adds a pop of color and freshness to every bite.
How To Make Buffalo Chicken Pizza
Preheat your oven to 400F. Take a large flatbread and place it on a prepared pan. Spread a generous amount of buffalo sauce on top.
Add the shredded chicken on top of the buffalo sauce, making sure to spread it all the way to the edge of the flatbread.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken and buffalo sauce.
If you want a little extra flavor, you can drizzle a bit of ranch dressing on top of the cheese.
Place the flatbread pizzas in the oven and cook for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the crust is crispy.
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle it with chopped green onion. Allow it to cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving.

What To Serve With It
Buffalo chicken pizza is a spicy and flavorful dish, so it's good to pair it with items that can help balance out the heat. Here are a few ideas of my favorite things to serve with buffalo chicken pizza:
- Salad- A crisp, cool salad can help balance out the heat of the buffalo chicken pizza. A classic Caesar salad or a simple mixed greens salad would be a great option.
- Carrots and Celery Sticks- These crunchy veggies are another classic side to buffalo wings and they can help cool your mouth after a spicy bite of pizza.
- Garlic Knots or Garlic Bread- Garlic knots or garlic bread can help absorb some of the heat from the pizza and add some additional flavor to the meal.
How Long Does It Last?
Once the pizza has been refrigerated, it can last for 3-5 days in an airtight container. Keep in mind that the quality may start to decline after the first 2-3 days.
To ensure the best quality and to avoid any food-borne illness, it's best to refrigerate or freeze your pizza as soon as possible. Remember to always reheat it thoroughly before consuming it.
Can You Freeze It?
Yes, you can freeze buffalo chicken pizza. Freezing is a great way to extend the shelf life of your pizza and make it convenient to have a quick and easy meal on hand. Here's how to freeze it:
- Wrap the pizza securely in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn and to retain its flavor and texture.
- Place the wrapped pizza in a freezer-safe bag or container and label it with the date and contents.
- Put the pizza in the freezer and store it for up to 2-3 months.
When it's time to reheat your flatbread pizza, toss it in the oven or air fryer at 400F for 6-8 minutes or until it is warmed through and the cheese is melted.
