Why Pulled Pork Might Be the Best Pizza Topping Yet

This pulled pork bbq pizza is the best new meal to come out of my kitchen this summer. That’s a bold statement. Because with the pulled pork enchiladas, creamy chicken and gnocchi and ravioli al pomodoro, there was a solid amount of good food.

What makes pork such a perfect pizza topping? There’s just something about a sweet and spicy (“swicy”?!) combination that wins my heart every time. Whether it is our chili recipe, sweet potato fries or our pulled pork rub, the flavor combo just hits. We even made a chlii pizza years ago that is perfect for using up our sweet & spicy chili sauce.

Leftover pulled pork recipes like our pulled pork sliders, pulled pork mac and cheese and pulled pork baked potatoes are always family favorites, but Matt loves it when I pull out the bbq pulled pork pizza! The pork gets just a little crispy. Irresistible!

Serve with our potato wedges or cucumber tomato salad on your next pizza night.

Enjoy! -Julie

Key Ingredients

Pizza crust. Because this is meant to be a quick leftovers recipe, a pizza crust from the grocery store works just fine. When I have extra time I use our homemade pizza dough, par-bake it and store it in the freezer. Then I can pull out homemade pizza crust for this recipe and its still quick.
Barbecue sauce. Use a homemade bbq sauce or a store-bought sauce that you love the flavor of because this flavor will shine through on this pulled pork pizza.
Pulled pork. Pork leftovers work best! Make instant pot pulled pork, slow cooker pulled pork, oven roasted pork butt or even Dr Pepper pulled pork for a fun flavor.

The rest of the ingredients for pulled pork pizza are toppings that are completely customizable!

1/4 cup crushed pinapple drained
1/2 cup thin sliced jalapeño peppers
1/2 cup thin sliced red onion

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. I recommend pre-baked crusts and placing the pizza directly on the oven rack. You may use a pizza stone if using uncooked pizza dough or if you don't want to put the pizza right on the oven rack. 2 10-inch pizza crusts*
Divide the toppings between the two pizza crusts. Top with bbq sauce, then sprinkle with pulled pork pieces. 2/3 cup bbq sauce, 2 cups pulled pork

Place the pizzas directly on the middle oven rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 7-9 minutes or until cheese is melted and the pizza is as golden brown as you'd like.
Garnish with freshly snipped cilantro and drizzle with hot honey before serving. fresh cilantro, hot honey

Notes

If using fresh pizza dough, stretch the dough thin into two 8-10″ round circles. Top and bake on a pizza stone at 500ºF for about 14 minutes. Try our favorite pizza crust.
