Ingredients

• Pizza Dough: 1 pre-made pizza crust or homemade dough (about 12 inches)
• Sauce: 1/2 cup pizza sauce or barbecue sauce (for a smoky twist)
• Cheese: 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• Chicken: 1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced or shredded
• Bacon: 4-5 strips, cooked until crispy and crumbled
• Pineapple: 1/2 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
• Optional Toppings: Red onion slices, bell peppers, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes
• Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon (for brushing the crust, optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
2. Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface or place the pre-made crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
3. Add Sauce: Spread an even layer of pizza sauce or barbecue sauce over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
4. Layer Toppings: Sprinkle half the mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Add the cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, and pineapple chunks. Top with the remaining cheese and any optional toppings.
5. Brush Crust: Lightly brush the edges of the dough with olive oil for a golden finish (optional).
6. Bake: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve: Let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and enjoy!
