We love pizza in our house.  I often make it for dinner or we go out for pizza around town.  Sometimes we even drive down to the lake to eat at Brenda’s pizza just because it’s so good. 

Whenever I’m in Pittsburgh my pizza of choice is Sir Pizza.  The funny thing is that all these pizzas are totally different from one another but it doesn’t matter.  We just love pizza!

My favorite homemade pizza has to be Deep Dish Pizza. One of the best specialty pizzas I make is a hearty Taco Pizza.  I’ll even put eggs on my pizza and have the most delicious Breakfast Pizza.

Last night I made a big roasted chicken and divided the leftovers into two containers.  I love cooking one big meal and then reinventing the leftovers into easy weeknight suppers throughout the week.  One of the containers of chicken is going to be soup later on in the week and the other is for buffalo chicken pizza.

These were so easy to make and were a great change from traditional pizza.  With sauteed red onions, garlic, and chicken covered in buffalo sauce, this pizza was hot, hot, hot! The ranch dressing drizzled served to cool it down slightly which did the trick.   It was perfect served with a salad and was great for something quick, easy, and different.
