What is BBQ pulled pork pizza?

Barbeque sauce is the base sauce of this pizza. Then you top it with pulled pork, 2 types of cheese, and red onion. All of the simple ingredients make for great flavor. Recently I was shopping at Aldi and I ran across their BBQ pulled pork pizza. It reminded me of this homemade version I made years ago so I whipped the recipe out again. We love unique pizza flavors in our home and this is one of our favorites. One of the perks of making this recipe myself is adding the quantity of toppings I want.

How to make BBQ pulled pork pizza

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a cooking sheet thoroughly with butter or non stick cooking spray
2. If using leftover pulled pork, make sure it is warmed before you place it on top of the pizza. You can simply toss the pulled pork in 1/4 cup BBQ sauce and warm on a skillet over medium high heat for 3-4 minutes
3. Roll out your dough on the cooking sheet. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to your desired thickness
4. Check if your dough requires pre-baking. Pillsbury brand has you prebake for 8 minutes prior to placing on toppings
5. Once prebaked, spread about 1/3 cup of BBQ sauce on the dough
6. Spread your cheddar and mozzarella cheese in an even layer
7. Then spread the pulled pork and red onions evenly across the pizza
8. Baked for an additional 8-10 minutes. Look for the edges of the crust to turn slightly brown and the cheese to be melted.
9. You can place the pizza under the broil function of the oven for 1-2 minutes if you desire the cheese to be more crispy. Just watch the pizza closely so you don’t burn it.
10. Slice into square pieces and serve!

FAQ

Can I use any type of pizza dough? Yes, make sure to follow package instructions on whichever pizza dough you choose. Any type of homemade pizza crust will also work.

What type of cheese to get? I prefer low-moisture mozzarella and sharp cheddar cheese. If you buy the blocks and shred them yourself, you will have improved flavor and they melt much better.

What type of BBQ sauce to use? There is such a wide variety including the level of spice you desire. I used Sweet Baby Ray’s Original Barbeque Sauce
