Is your mouth watering yet? If not, it surely will be once you dive into this sensational pulled pork pizza recipe.

What makes this pizza truly remarkable is its simplicity and bold flavors. And the best part? You can whip it up in no time, thanks to a handy store-bought pizza dough. So, let’s roll up our sleeves and create a pizza that will delight your taste buds and leave you craving for more.

Ingredients:

1 store-bought pizza dough (because who has time to make dough from scratch?)
1 cup pulled pork (leftover or freshly made, the choice is yours)
1 cup tomato-based pizza sauce (homemade or store-bought)
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1/3 cup black olives
1 medium-sized white onion, thinly sliced
1 medium-sized tomato, thinly sliced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Olive oil (for brushing)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that your pizza cooks evenly and develops that perfect golden crust.
Prepare the toppings: In a skillet, sauté the sliced mushrooms until they are golden brown and fragrant. Set them aside. While you’re at it, lightly caramelize the thinly sliced white onions in the same skillet for added flavor.
Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the store-bought pizza dough into your desired shape and thickness. Don’t worry about achieving a perfect circle – rustic is charming!
Assemble the masterpiece: Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread a generous layer of tomato-based pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Next, evenly distribute the pulled pork over the sauce, followed by the sautéed mushrooms, sliced tomatoes, and caramelized onions. Finally, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top, ensuring every inch of the pizza is covered in gooey goodness.
Bake to perfection: Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the assembled pizza to help the toppings brown beautifully. Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and irresistible.
Slice and savor: Once out of the oven, let the pizza cool for a minute or two to avoid burning your mouth (trust us, it’s worth the wait). Then, grab a pizza cutter, slice into generous portions, and indulge in the symphony of flavors that awaits you.

Optional Toppings: Pick and choose your own combinations

BBQ Drizzle: After baking, drizzle a swirl of your favorite barbecue sauce over the finished pizza for an extra punch of smoky flavor.
Pickled Jalapeños: Add a kick of heat and tanginess with some pickled jalapeño slices. They complement the richness of the pulled pork beautifully.
Pineapple Chunks: For a sweet and savory twist, scatter some pineapple chunks over the pizza. The combination of juicy pineapple and savory pork is a match made in pizza heaven.
Crispy Bacon: Everything’s better with bacon! Crumble some crispy bacon over the pizza for added texture and a salty kick.
Fresh Herbs: Sprinkle some fresh chopped cilantro or basil over the pizza just before serving for a burst of freshness and aroma.
Sliced Bell Peppers: Add a pop of color and crunch with thinly sliced bell peppers. Red, yellow, or green peppers all work well and provide a vibrant contrast to the other toppings.
Ranch Drizzle: For those who love creamy dressings, a drizzle of ranch dressing over the finished pizza adds a cool and tangy flavor that pairs wonderfully with the savory pulled pork.

This pizza is perfect to have with friends or a cosy night in so basically anytime really. Whichever it is this pulled pork pizza is sure to satisfy. So, grab your ingredients, fire up that oven, and get ready to savor every bite of this simple yet irresistible creation. After all, good food is meant to be enjoyed, and this pizza is no exception. Cheers to delicious adventures in the kitchen!
