This buffalo chicken pizza is full of spicy buffalo sauce, chicken, and drizzled with a creamy ranch dressing. Use my easy homemade pizza dough or start with a store bought crust.
I feel like there are people who LOVE making pizza at home and then there are people who are like, but it’s so easy to just have it delivered straight to your door!
What I really like about homemade pizza is the ability to get creative. You can make as many small pizzas as you want so everyone has their own perfect pizza and you don’t break the bank doing it. Or you can go all out and make one big pizza for everyone with all the crazy toppings you like.
Buffalo Ranch Chicken Dip
This buffalo chicken pizza starts with an EASY homemade pizza crust, but you can totally use storebought if you’re not feeling all Betty Crocker about it.
“Made this Friday night and all who ate it agreed that it was the best pizza they ever had! thanks!” – Richard
Pizza Dough – We start with a standard wheat pizza dough that bakes up soft and chewy. You can use store bought pizza crust to make things go faster.

Chicken – This recipe was made for that leftover chicken! Or grab a rotisserie chicken the next time you’re at the store!
Sauce: Rather than a traditional sauce, we’re using a mixture of cream cheese and ranch seasoning as the base for our pizza.
You’ll start by adding the yeast to warm water with a bit of sugar until it gets foamy. This takes about 10 minutes.

Then you just mix in the flour, oil, and salt. We use a stand mixer for this and let the mixer knead the dough for a few minutes to get it nice and smooth.
This dough takes one hour to rise and then you’ll punch it down, shape it on a pizza pan, and start with the toppings.
We use Hidden Valley Ranch in our house. Be sure to look at the packets closely. You’ll find both ranch seasoning and ranch dressing mix in the little packets. The seasoning is what you want, as it has quite a bit less sodium than the dressing. You can use the dressing mix, if that’s what you have on hand, but your final result will be a bit saltier.

You’ll want to be sure that your yeast isn’t old and that your water is the right temperature. Right around 110 degrees is perfect for yeast…too cold and it won’t bloom, too hot and it will die.
Keeping your dough in a warm spot will help it to rise a bit more quickly. We use the proof function on our oven and keep the bowl in there. It still takes awhile, but it’s quicker than letting it sit on a cool countertop.
We tend to use all purpose flour because that’s what we always have on hand. If you have bread flour or want to purchase some, that will create a chewier crust due to the higher gluten content in bread flour.

Use Frank’s Red Hot instead of buffalo sauce to make it spicier. Add ground cayenne to the mix if you really like it hot.
For a spicier buffalo chicken, use a hot variety of buffalo sauce or swap in Frank’s Red Hot. You could also mix in cayenne.

Once it’s cooled to room temperature, you can store leftover buffalo chicken pizza in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven for the best results.

Pro Tips Blue Cheese: I highly recommend Marie’s Chunky Blue Cheese dressing for this recipe. It’s in the refrigerated area of the produce section. Ranchcan be used instead of blue cheeseif preferred. Buffalo Sauce: I use Franks Buffalo Sauce for this recipe. Mozzarella: Low Moisture Whole Milk mozzarella shredded from a block is definitely best for this recipe, it melts very well. (Don’t use fresh mozzarella as it’s too wet.) I like using Dragone or Galbani. Pizza Dough: You can use 1 lb. of store-bought pizza dough for this recipe for an easy shortcut, or you can make my homemade Pizza Dough Recipe!
