Description

Feed a crowd with this easy sheet pan pizza! A crispy, thick crust loaded with spicy buffalo chicken, ranch, and gooey cheese. It is the ultimate game day comfort food that comes together in one pan.


Ingredients

1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade), room temp

2 tbsp olive oil (for the pan)

1 tbsp cornmeal

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

3/4 cup buffalo sauce

2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

1/3 cup ranch dressing

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

Green onions or chives for garnish


Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Pour the olive oil onto a standard 13×18 inch rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle the cornmeal evenly over the oil.

3. Place the dough on the pan and stretch it out towards the edges. If it springs back, let it rest for 5-10 minutes and stretch again until it fills the corners.

4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce and melted butter. Add the shredded chicken and toss until fully coated.

5. Spread the ranch dressing in a thin, even layer over the pizza dough.

6. Distribute the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the ranch layer.

7. Top with the mozzarella, cheddar cheese, and sliced red onion.

8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

9. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with green onions, drizzle with extra ranch if desired, and slice into squares.

Notes

**Dough Tip:** Letting the dough sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before stretching makes it much easier to work with.

**Crispy Bottom:** Don’t skimp on the olive oil in the pan it basically “fries” the bottom of the crust for that delicious crunch.
