Easy Pulled Pork Pizza Recipe

The combination of the sweet and savory flavors of the barbecue sauce, the tender pulled pork, sliced onions, and cilantro is a delicious and unique flavor combination that has made BBQ pizza a popular choice for pizza lovers everywhere.

I think my friend said it best when she told me, “A good bbq pizza can turn your day around!” And I’ve got to agree with her. There’s just something about the sweet, smoky, tangy flavor combinations in a pulled pork pizza that make people happy!

BBQ

This recipe uses bbq sauce in two ways. The first way is in the pizza sauce, and the second is to coat the pulled pork. To make bbq pizza sauce, simply combine pizza sauce and barbecue sauce.

Bbq Pulled Pork Pizza • The Candid Cooks

We used homemade pizza sauce and Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce. Depending on which sauces you choose to combine, you can create different flavor profiles, from sweet and mild to hot and spicy.

We had leftover pulled pork to use for this pizza, but if you don’t have any, you can also buy ready-to-use pulled pork at many grocery stores. Pour the barbecue sauce over the pulled pork and stir until it is well coated. Of course, if your meat already has bbq sauce on it, you don’t need to add more!

Turning your oven into a bbq pizza oven is easy if you have a pizza stone. It helps to achieve a crust that’s similar to what you’d get at a pizzeria. To do this, preheat the oven and the pizza stone so that the bottom of the crust can cook on a hot surface and become crispy.

However, the hardest part is transferring the pizza onto the stone in the oven. But don’t worry; we’ve got some tips to make it easier. And if you don’t have a pizza stone, we have an alternative method for you.

Pizza Peel: Spread semolina flour on a pizza peel before adding your pizza dough crust. When you shake the peel, the dough should be able to slide around. If it sticks, sprinkle more semolina flour underneath.

Cookie Sheet: In case you don’t have a pizza peel, or it’s too small for your pizza, you can use a cookie sheet instead. Roll out the crust on a silicone mat, then sprinkle semolina flour on a cookie sheet before placing the crust on top.

Pizza Stone Alternative: If you don’t own a baking stone, you can make the pizza on a greased baking sheet. If you use this method, it is best to prebake the crust for five minutes before adding the toppings.

Carefully slide the pizza from the cookie sheet (or pizza peel) directly onto the hot pizza stone in the preheated oven. Bake the pizza at 425˚F for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped cilantro.

Or, if you want to bake the pizza directly on the baking sheet, bake it at 425˚F for 10-15 minutes since you prebaked the crust for 5 minutes already.

To make a Hawaiian version, add diced pineapple chunks along with the other toppings before baking the pizza. Pineapple adds a sweetness that contrasts with the tangy barbecue sauce.

You can easily turn this pizza into a BBQ Chicken Pizza by swapping out the shredded pork for shredded chicken! It’s a great way to use leftover chicken, and it tastes fantastic.

You can make the whole pizza on a pizza stone on the grill. Preheat a grilling stone along with the grill and then slide the pizza onto it to cook the pizza.

Or you can make individual pizzas on the grill by precooking the crusts for 2 minutes and then adding the toppings called for in the recipe.

How

One: Pizza Stone Alternative Spread the dough on a greased baking sheet. Partially bake the crust at 425˚F for five minutes. Add the toppings and return the pizza to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes.

Two: Leftovers Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for 1-2 months. Reheat it in the oven, microwave, or air fryer.

Hi! I’m Tonia, the owner and recipe creator at The Gunny Sack, where I’ve shared easy recipes for busy people for 12+ years!

This pizza is a copycat version of one we had at Regina Pizzeria in Boston. I think it might be our most favorite pizza ever: BBQ pulled pork, roasted chiles, caramelized onions, and a couple different kinds of cheeses. It’s pizza heaven.

Leftover Pulled Pork Pizza

The first thing you need to do is to get your caramelized onions started. Diced onions caramelize faster than strips of onion and the faster I can get that pizza made, the better.

I like to cook the onions for a full 20 minutes on the stove to get them nice and dark and sweet. The first photo shows them right when they go in the pan, the second photo is after 10 minutes of cooking, and after 20 minutes of cooking.

Also, you don’t need sugar to make caramelized onions. Just some onions, butter, and salt. That’s it. I’m always amazed at how something as pungent as an onion can transform into “onion candy”.

I found smoked mozzarella a little hard to find, but after making this pizza with and without it, I can tell you it’s totally worth hunting around for. It makes a big difference and gives the pizza some extra WOW.

Also, have you ever made pulled pork in an Instant Pot? It’s the easiest thing ever. Almost dangerously easy. I’ve got an Easy Instant Pot Pulled Pork recipe on my site if you need one!

Get your pizza dough spread out. I like to make the crust on the thicker side since this pizza is a bit ingredient-heavy and some of the ingredients are wet. You don’t want a soggy crust, trust me.

One of Erica’s pizza baking tips (which I also do!) is to bake your pizza on parchment on a preheated surface. If you have a pizza stone, this works well.

If not, you could use a large inverted rimmed baking sheet to slide the parchment with the pizza onto another inverted rimmed baking sheet in the oven. And you want that oven hot, too. Like 450-500ºF.
