How to Make It

Note: This is an overview. See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.

Step 1: Prep Your Dough
Start by rolling out your pizza dough into a perfect circle (or rectangle if you’re feeling fancy). Aim for an even thickness so every bite has that ideal balance of crunch and chewiness. Transfer the dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone dusted lightly with flour or cornmeal to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Spread That Smoky Sauce
Grab your favorite store-bought or homemade BBQ sauce and slather it generously over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for that golden crust. The BBQ sauce acts as the foundation, giving the pizza its signature smoky kick. Pro tip: Use the back of a spoon to spread evenly without tearing the dough.

Step 3: Layer Up the Toppings
Now comes the fun part—layering! Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese first to create a gooey base, then add cooked and shredded BBQ chicken, followed by sweet corn kernels for pops of sweetness. Finish with red onion slices for a bit of sharpness and cilantro leaves for freshness.

Step 4: Bake Until Golden Perfection
Pop your masterpiece into a preheated oven and bake until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese bubbles invitingly. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning—nobody likes a sad, charred pizza!

Step 5: Drizzle the Magic Touch
While the pizza cools slightly, blend up your avocado crema using ripe avocados, lime juice, garlic, salt, and a splash of olive oil. Once the pizza is ready, drizzle the crema generously over the top in zigzag patterns. This creamy finishing touch not only looks beautiful but also adds a cool contrast to the smoky heat of the BBQ.

Pro Tips

• Use rotisserie chicken: Save time by shredding leftover rotisserie chicken and tossing it in BBQ sauce.
• Toast the corn: For extra flavor, sauté the corn in a skillet with butter until slightly caramelized before adding it to the pizza.
• Make ahead: Prepare the avocado crema a day in advance and store it in the fridge to save prep time.
• Customize toppings: Swap red onions for green onions or add jalapeños for a spicy twist.
• Double the dough: Make two pizzas instead of one—you’ll thank yourself later!

Storage

• Refrigerate leftovers: Store sliced pizza in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze for longer storage: Wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months.
• Reheat like a pro: Warm frozen slices in a 375°F oven for 10 minutes or use a toaster oven for quick results.
