Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat. Lightly flour a work surface with the 2 tbs of flour. Stretch or roll the pizza dough into a 10–12 inch round, about 1/4" thick. Transfer to a piece of parchment or a lightly floured pizza peel.

House White Sauce

Make white sauce

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp butter. Whisk in 1 tbsp flour and cook 30–45 seconds until slightly golden. Slowly whisk in 3 tbsp whole milk and 1/4 cup half-and-half until smooth. Add 1 oz softened cream cheese and whisk until melted. Stir in 1 tsp minced garlic, 2 tbsp grated Parmesan, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Simmer gently 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Buffalo Chicken

Cook and sauce chicken

If using raw chicken breast: slice into 1/2" pieces. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with 1/4 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp pepper and 1/4 tsp garlic powder. Cook 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and lightly browned. Reduce heat to low, add 3 tbsp hot sauce and 1 tbsp butter; toss until chicken is evenly coated and sauce is warmed through. If using pre-cooked or rotisserie chicken, shred into bite-sized pieces and toss in the hot sauce + melted butter mixture in a warm skillet for 1–2 minutes.

Assemble Pizza

Spread sauce and cheese

Brush the dough edge lightly with 1 tsp olive oil. Spread the house white sauce over the dough, leaving a 1/2" rim for the crust. Evenly sprinkle the 3-cheese blend (3/4 cup mozzarella + 1/4 cup provolone + 1/4 cup sharp cheddar) over the sauce.

Top with chicken & onion

Distribute the buffalo chicken evenly over the cheese. Scatter the thinly sliced red onion over the top.

Bake

Slide the pizza (on parchment or peel) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake at 500°F (260°C) for 8–12 minutes, or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. Check at 8 minutes and continue until desired doneness.

Ranch Drizzle & Finish

Prepare drizzle and finish pizza

If the ranch is very thick, thin it with up to 1 tsp milk to a drizzling consistency. When pizza is out of the oven, let rest 1–2 minutes, then lightly drizzle the ranch over the hot pizza in a zigzag. Sprinkle chopped fresh chives or green onions and optional crushed red pepper flakes. Slice and serve immediately.
