Instructions

Set the pizza dough out for 30 minutes to come to room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 425°F and dust two baking sheets with flour.
Dust a work surface with flour. Divide the pizza dough into two smaller dough balls. Stretch or roll each dough ball into a 9-inch circle and transfer to the prepared baking sheets. Spread each dough circle with ¼ cup barbecue sauce, leaving a ½-inch rim around the edge. Top each with the chopped chicken, then the mozzarella cheese, and Gouda cheese. Scatter the sliced red onion across the top of each.
Bake the pizzas until they are browned and crispy around the edges and the cheese is bubbling in the center, about 15-20 minutes.
Remove the pizzas from the oven and sprinkle each chopped cilantro.
Slice each pizza into 6 pieces and serve.

Notes

My Top Tip: Rotate your baking sheets for the most even cooking! Most ovens don’t heat evenly, so, for an even bake on my pizzas, I like to rotate my baking sheets between the top and bottom racks and turn them 180° after they’ve been baking for 10 minutes.

Storage: Store your leftover pizzas in an airtight container or ziplock bag and place them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven at 350°F until the cheese is melted and bubbly. You could also reheat your pizza in the microwave, but be aware that the crust will not be as crispy.
