My favorite pizza place in San Diego is Leucadia Pizzeria. My favorite pizzas at Leucadia are Thai Chicken, Hawaiian and, today’s featured recipe, Barbecue Chicken. Since they won’t deliver to the Bay Area, I’ve had to try to recreate these yummy pizzas at home.
Barbecue Chicken Pizza
The BBQ chicken pizza is quite simple. Barbecue sauce, chicken, gouda cheese & cilantro. That’s it, you’re done. I do a mix of gouda and mozzarella cheese so that it’s cheesier (one block of gouda isn’t QUITE enough cheese). Also, the Kansas City BBQ Sauce from Trader Joe’s is mighty fine. PS – The cilantro is KEY. Make sure you put a whole bunch on there (I chop it up before). It gives it the best flavor.

I love BBQ chicken pizza. The gouda is a GREAT idea that I’ve never thought of trying. We add bacon to ours as well

Is it just me or does cilantro taste just like attic dust?

Ohhh . . . yum! We love BBQ Chicken Pizza. I’m going to try it with TJ’s BBQ sauce though. Have you come up with a recipe for the Thai Chicken pizza? Would love to have you share that one if you have!

You’re right cilantro is the key!! Without it, it ‘s just not the same. This is one of my faves!!! I’ve never tried it with gouda. May have to try it!

This recipe has fooled all my friends in Logan that I have a knack for cooking!
Don’t forget the “no rise” pizza crust you have in your archive

That looks great and reminds me of the barbecue chicken pizza at… what’s that great pizza place in downtown Palo Alto? I’m sure you’ve heard of it. Well anyway, it was my favorite pie there. And now I can make it here in Brooklyn, where the pizzerias DO NOT make the barbeque chicken pizza. Thanks!
