Method
 

Steps to Prepare
  1. Preheat the oven to 475°F. If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
  2. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it forms a 12-inch circle and transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Brush the edges with olive oil for a tasty, golden crust.
  4. Toss the cooked chicken with buffalo sauce until well-coated.
  5. Spread ranch or blue cheese dressing evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
  6. Scatter the buffalo chicken mixture over the sauce, then top with mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbling.
  8. Remove from oven and garnish with chopped chives or green onions before slicing.
