Key Takeaways
A Pizza Craze
Pizza lovers, rejoice! We have something incredible in store for you. Imagine a pizza that is so irresistible, it will have you craving it not just once, but multiple times a month.

Hubby’s Favorite: BBQ Chicken Pizza
Introducing the Round Table BBQ chicken pizza, a creation that will make your taste buds sing. This pizza is tailor-made for those who relish the delightful combination of tangy and sweet barbecue sauce, succulent chicken, smoky mozzarella cheese, pickled jalapenos, and onions. Trust us; this one is worth breaking the no-meat-on-pizza rule for.
Picture yourself sinking your teeth into a slice of this paradise. The secret behind the chewy and golden-brown crust is our homemade pizza dough, infused with a touch of honey. To make things even better, you can easily stash half of the dough in your freezer, ensuring you always have the means to whip up a homemade barbecue chicken pizza whenever the mood strikes.
A Few Twists
While this recipe has been inspired by the famous California Pizza Kitchen, we’ve added our own twists to make it truly outstanding:
-
Smoked Mozzarella: Instead of the traditional gouda cheese used at CPK, we opted for smoked mozzarella. This flavorful cheese complements the BBQ sauce perfectly, adding an extra layer of indulgence.
-
Sliced Pickled Jalapeños: We believe that spice makes everything nice. That’s why we’ve included thinly sliced pickled jalapeños for an extra kick. Of course, if you’re not a fan of spice, you can omit them.
With our homemade pizza dough and a few unique touches, you’ll be ready to embark on a flavor-packed journey with your BBQ chicken pizza.
Let’s Get Cooking
Now that we’ve piqued your interest, let’s dive into the process of creating this delectable masterpiece. Don’t worry; it’s a piece of cake, or rather, pizza!
First, you’ll need some grilled chicken breast, cubed and tossed in half a cup of barbecue sauce to infuse the meat with that distinctive BBQ flavor. If you have cooked chicken in your freezer, simply shred it and toss it in the sauce. We recommend using around 10 ounces of chicken, diced into large pieces.
Next, it’s time to assemble the pizza. Start with your homemade pizza dough, generously spread with barbecue sauce. Then, add a combination of smoked mozzarella and regular mozzarella cheese for that classic pizza flair.
To make this pizza truly unforgettable, don’t forget the red onions and, of course, those sliced jalapeños for a bold burst of flavor. Pop it in the oven for a quick 12-15 minutes, and voila! Your BBQ chicken pizza is ready to be devoured.
Finish off this culinary delight with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for some added freshness. However, if cilantro is not your cup of tea, feel free to skip it.
A Friday Night Delight
Imagine treating yourself to a slice of this BBQ chicken pizza on a Friday night. Indulge in the perfect combination of sweet, tangy, and smoky flavors, with each bite filled with chunks of barbecued chicken, smoky mozzarella cheese, cilantro, red onions, and a crispy yet chewy crust.
Forget about ordering takeout; your homemade barbecue chicken pizza is just a few minutes away. No need to settle for anything less than perfection when you can create this culinary masterpiece in the comfort of your own home.
