Exact Ingredients List
You’ll need these ingredients to make a tasty Buffalo Chicken Pizza like Domino’s:

Instructions
To prep the pizza:
- Set your pizza stone on the middle rack, if using, and preheat your oven to 450°F.
- Take the dough out of the fridge and cover it with a towel. Wait about ten minutes for the dough to come up to room temperature.
- Roll the dough into the shape of a pizza. You can divide the dough into smaller portions to make personal pizzas.
- Place the rolled-out pizza dough on a large wooden cutting board or pizza peel sprinkled with cornmeal.
- Top the dough with slices of white American cheese, leaving about a half-inch uncovered around the entire pizza base.
- Finely slice the white onion and scatter the slices over the slices of American cheese.
- Slice the grilled chicken and spread the chicken evenly on top of the pizza.
To bake and finish the pizza:
- Sprinkle some cornmeal on the pizza stone, if using, and slide the pizza onto the pizza stone. Otherwise, slide the pizza onto the pizza pan or rimless baking tray and place it in the oven.
- Bake the pizza for about 15 minutes or until the crust starts to brown.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle Buffalo Sauce on top.
- Cut and serve immediately.
Enjoy your homemade Domino’s-style Buffalo Chicken Pizza! It’s perfect for game nights or when you’re craving something spicy and cheesy.

Tips, Tricks & Storing
For the best results, use a pizza stone to get a crispy crust. Preheat it in the oven for at least 30 minutes before baking.
Shred your own cheese instead of using pre-shredded. It melts better and gives a smoother texture.
Don’t overload the pizza with toppings. Too many can make the crust soggy.
Cut the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces for even distribution and easier eating.
If you like extra spice, add a dash of cayenne pepper to the buffalo sauce.
To store leftovers, let the pizza cool completely. Put slices in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
When reheating, use an oven or toaster oven instead of a microwave. This helps keep the crust crispy.
For a lower-carb option, try using a cauliflower crust instead of regular pizza dough.
Experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar for unique flavor combinations.
Remember to handle raw chicken safely. Wash your hands and surfaces after touching it to avoid cross-contamination.
