If there’s one food that screams game night, it’s Buffalo Chicken Pizza. A fusion of two American favorites—pizza and Buffalo chicken wings—this recipe delivers spice, crunch, and cheesy indulgence in every bite.

Unlike a traditional pizza with marinara sauce, Buffalo Chicken Pizza swaps in tangy, spicy Buffalo sauce as the base. Topped with shredded chicken, gooey mozzarella, a drizzle of ranch (or blue cheese dressing), and a sprinkle of green onions, it’s a crowd-pleaser that balances heat with creamy coolness.

Whether you’re planning a game-day feast, a weekend family dinner, or simply craving bold flavors, this pizza is your ticket to comfort food heaven.
