Buffalo Chicken Pizza
This pizza was a big crowd pleaser!! If you like hot and spicy buffalo chicken wings, then you are sure to enjoy this homemade pizza recipe. If you want to adjust the amount of spicy heat you get, just adjust the amount of hot sauce you use. And don't worry about putting celery on a pizza. This is supposed to be like a buffalo wing!
