This is really good! Most buffalo chicken pizza recipes just use ranch or blue cheese dressing as the sauce, but this has a spicy kick to it. I added sliced onions and sauteed fresh mushrooms and used 2 c. of pizza cheese on top. Thanks for sharing.

This is the best buffalo chicken pizza I have ever had! I really like blue cheese on the pizza as opposed to a blue cheese dressing. It gave it a much bigger flavor. I will definitely make this again.

I left out the blue cheese because my husband doesn't like it and I used a homemade crust and dark meat chicken. This was delicious!! I will definitely make it again. It is fairly spicy, though, be warned. Especially if you use the McCormick "spicy montreal steak" seasoning.

Yum-yum-yum!!!! I have been looking for a recipe that resembles the one I used to have at my old favorite pizza joint. I finally found it! I skipped the tomato sauce, and used Blue Cheese Dressing instead. Also added Blue cheese chunks too, along with the MJ Cheese. I used Frank's Red Hot- and that is what REALLY makes the pizza!! I try to let the chicken marinate in the Red Hot in the fridge after I'm done cooking it- but I don't think it's necessary. This was so good! The hubby LOVED it! I'm making it again- after just 4 days!

This was really good. I have two preschool age boys, and they both loved this. My older one usually doesn't like spicy food, but I served it with celery sticks and he ate it up. The only thing I would change is the pizza crust. Maybe next time I will stop at a pizza place and buy some of their dough.
