For the Base
1 pre-made pizza crust or your favorite homemade dough 
1 tbsp olive oil 
For the Toppings
1/2 cup BBQ sauce (use your favorite sweet, smoky, or spicy variety) 
1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 
1/2 cup shredded smoked gouda (optional for added flavor)
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion 
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional) 
1/4 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (optional but highly recommended) 
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C), or follow the instructions for your pizza crust.
If using a pizza stone, preheat it in the oven for an extra crispy crust.
2. Prepare the Crust
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your preferred thickness.
Transfer to a pizza pan or parchment paper.
Brush the crust lightly with olive oil for extra crispiness.
3. Layer the Toppings
Spread BBQ sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border for the edges.
Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella and gouda cheese (if using).
Add the shredded chicken evenly, followed by red onions and bacon.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the toppings.
4. Bake the Pizza
Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
5. Garnish and Serve
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Sprinkle with fresh cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.
Slice, serve, and drizzle with additional BBQ sauce if desired.
Tips for Pizza Perfection
