Ranch vs. Blue Cheese Base
The great buffalo chicken pizza debate: ranch or blue cheese as the base? Ranch is milder and kid-friendly; blue cheese is tangy and bold. We vote blue cheese for adults, but this pizza is a winner either way.
Ingredients
- 2 cans (12.5 oz) chunk chicken, drained
- 1 pre-made pizza dough (12-14 inch) or store-bought crust

- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
