Why You Will Love This Recipe

  • Flatbread pizzas are so quick and easy to make. For an easy weeknight dinner, you can make this pizza with store-bought flatbread, or if you have a little more time you can Make Your Own Flatbread.
  • This easy recipe has a bold and spicy flavor that's sure to excite your taste buds. The tangy buffalo sauce combined with the creamy ranch dressing and gooey cheese creates a flavor explosion that's hard to resist.
  • You can customize the heat level based on the buffalo sauce you choose.
  • Buffalo Chicken Flatbread Pizza is a great dish to share with friends and family. Its flatbread shape makes it easy to cut into slices and pass around, making it a perfect choice for game day gatherings, parties, or movie nights.

Easy Flatbread Pizza Recipes are one of my favorite quick and easy dinners. In the last year, I have added five flatbread recipes to this blog; Greek Chicken Flatbread Pizza, Pesto Shrimp Pizza, Shrimp Scampi Pizza, Chicken Artichoke Flatbread, and Crab Rangoon Flatbread Pizza.

Recipe Ingredients

You will need the following ingredients to make these tangy Buffalo Chicken Flatbreads.

Flatbread: You can make this pizza with store-bought flatbread, pita bread, or naan bread. If you have a sourdough starter you can also use my Recipe for Sourdough Flatbread.

Buffalo Sauce: Use your favorite buffalo sauce it is the easiest way to control how spicy this pizza is.

Chicken: You can use leftover rotisserie chicken or poach or grill a couple of chicken breasts.

Rotisserie chicken is a great dinner hack. Use it to quickly make these Chicken Pesto Stuffed Shells or this Pesto Chicken Quinoa Bowl.

Mozzarella: Buy already shredded mozzarella cheese to save time.

Ranch or Blue Cheese Dressing: I am not a fan of blue cheese. So I always pair hot sauce dishes with ranch dressing. Blue cheese or ranch? The choice is up to you.

Celery: Buffalo wings are usually paired with crisp celery to help offset the spice. Celery makes a great pizza topping.

Tip: Be sure to add it after the pizzas have baked to preserve its crunch.

See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

Substitutions and Variations

Feel free to experiment with different toppings on your Buffalo Chicken Flatbread Pizza. Some popular options include red onion, green onions, bell peppers, jalapenos, mushrooms, chopped bacon, or even blue cheese crumbles.

Vegetarian Version: Substitute roasted cauliflower florets for the chicken.

Not a fan of buffalo sauce? Try using your favorite barbeque sauce instead. I really love this Apricot Barbeque Sauce.

Tip: If you really like spicy buffalo chicken try using a spicier buffalo sauce or adding a sprinkling of red pepper flakes.

Serving Suggestions

Pair this easy buffalo chicken flatbread with a crisp green salad, like this Kale and Apple Salad for an amazing dinner.

You can also serve a variety of other appetizers with this pizza like these Traeger Smoked Chicken Wings, Smoked Cream Cheese, Smoked Potato Skins, or these Chicken and Zucchini Fritters.

How to Store and Reheat Leftovers

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days.

To Reheat: There are a couple of ways to reheat flatbread pizza.

  • Microwave: You can reheat it in the microwave at 30-second intervals but the flatbread will not be as crunchy. 
  • Oven: Preheat the oven to 250°F (130°C) and bake the flatbread pizza on a sheet pan for 5-10 minutes. This is my favorite method.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use other crusts for this pizza?

Of course! You can substitute store-bought pizza crust or pick up some dough from the grocery store or many local pizza restaurants.

Is buffalo chicken pizza spicy?

The great part of making your own pizza is you control the spice level. For a milder pizza be sure to choose a mild buffalo sauce.

You can also control the amount of sauce you add to the flatbread.

Can I make these flatbread pizzas ahead of time?

Yep! Just assemble the pizzas and pop them in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake them.

Expert Tips

  • Try making your own flatbread. Flatbread is incredibly easy to make. If you happen to be a sourdough baker I put together a recipe to make Flatbread with Sourdough Discard. If you don't have a sourdough starter you can use this recipe for No Yeast Flatbread.
  • Don’t add too many toppings. Because flatbread is thinner than regular pizza crust it’s not going to hold up to mountains of toppings and cheese.
  • If you love blue cheese, try sprinkling some blue cheese crumbles on top of the pizza before baking.
  • Vegetarian Version: Substitute roasted cauliflower florets for the chicken.
  • Use a pizza stone or pizza steel. They will give you an amazingly crispy crust. You can even use it on your outside grill if you’d rather not heat up the kitchen. If you don't have a pizza stone you can also use this pizza pan which is perforated to help crisp the crust.
