A Family Favorite

We love meals that are as much fun to make as they are to eat! Homemade pizza can be made to your liking, thick or thin crust, and your choice of toppings.

This recipe uses Marie’s Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing as the sauce. The dressing adds a great tangy flavor and of course chunks of blue cheese because more cheese is always better!

We all know that a great creamy dressing pairs perfectly with buffalo wings (and helps to cool the heat a little bit)! Marie’s Creamy Ranch Dressing is great on this pizza too!

Ingredients

DOUGH Keep it easy and use refrigerated pizza dough (or make your own pizza dough).

SAUCE Marie’s Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing makes the perfect sauce for this masterpiece.

CHEESE This pizza is covered in loads of gooey, melted mozzarella, and parmesan cheese!

TOPPINGS  Shredded, cooked chicken (use up leftover meat like chicken or turkey), and some sliced red onion are the perfect combo tossed in buffalo sauce.

Finish the pizza off with a generous drizzle of Marie’s Chunky Blue Cheese or Creamy Ranch dressing. No need to dip your slice, but you’ll want to!

Variations

• Indulge in pizza while keeping it low carb by swapping the regular dough out for cauliflower crust!
• Add your own favorite toppings, green bell peppers, olives, chili flakes, jalapenos. Anything goes!
