Ultimate Buffalo Chicken Pizza Recipe with Creamy Sauce

The Bold Fusion of Two Classics

Buffalo Chicken Pizza combines the fiery, tangy kick of Buffalo wings with the comforting satisfaction of a crispy pizza. This crowd-pleasing dish features spiced grilled chicken tossed in hot sauce, a unique creamy whipped cream base infused with blue cheese, and fresh celery greens for that authentic wing experience. Perfect for game day, parties, or a spicy weeknight dinner, it delivers restaurant-quality flavor right from your home oven or grill.

What Makes This Recipe Stand Out

Unlike traditional Buffalo chicken pizzas that rely on basic ranch or hot sauce spreads, this version uses unsweetened whipped heavy cream as a secret base. High heat transforms it into a rich, thickened sauce that perfectly balances the spice and melds with mild blue cheese. The result is a creamy, flavorful foundation that elevates the entire pizza without overwhelming the bold Buffalo tastes.

Easy to Make, Hard to Resist

This recipe is straightforward yet impressive, using a pre-made dough ball and simple grilling for the chicken. With minimal prep and customizable heat levels, it’s ideal for both beginners and seasoned cooks. The combination of smoky grilled chicken, tangy hot sauce, and fresh toppings creates an addictive pizza that’s sure to become a family favorite.

Ingredients

• 1 (10-ounce) whole wheat pizza dough ball

• ⅛ tsp ground cayenne pepper

• ¼ tsp sweet paprika

• ¼ tsp turbinado sugar

• ½ tsp kosher salt

• Olive oil (for brushing)

• 1 small chicken breast

• 4 tsp hot sauce (plus extra for drizzling)

• ¾ cup heavy cream, whipped (unsweetened)

• ¼ tsp celery seed

• 2 oz creamy blue cheese (e.g., buttermilk blue)

• ½ green onion (light green and green parts), sliced

• ½ cup celery greens and tender stems, chopped

Directions

• Prepare grill for direct high-heat grilling (or preheat oven to 500°F).
• Mix cayenne, paprika, turbinado sugar, and kosher salt to create chicken seasoning.
• Pound chicken breast to ½-inch thickness; brush both sides with olive oil and season generously.
• Grill chicken over high heat until cooked through, about 8 minutes total, turning once.
• Slice cooked chicken and toss in a bowl with 4 tsp hot sauce.
• Fold celery seed into the whipped heavy cream.
• On a lightly floured surface, stretch dough into a 10-inch round.
• Spread whipped cream mixture evenly over dough.
• Crumble blue cheese over cream, then top with hot sauce-tossed chicken and sliced green onion.
• Transfer pizza to oven, pizza stone, or grill; bake until crust is browned and cheese melts (3 minutes in pizza oven; 10 minutes in conventional oven/grill).
• Remove from heat, drizzle with extra hot sauce, and sprinkle with chopped celery greens.
• Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

• Use unsweetened whipped cream—do not add sugar.
• Adjust hot sauce amount for desired spice level; Blis Blast recommended for depth.
• Whole wheat dough adds nutty flavor, but regular dough works too.
• For best results, use a pizza stone or steel in the oven.
