Memphis BBQ Pulled Pork Pizza

Step 1

Set the oven to 475°F and wait until the indicator light or beep tells you it has finished heating, about 10 minutes.

Step 2

In a small bowl, stir together the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, and a pinch of salt until the slaw is coated and sitting in a creamy dressing.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, stir together the pulled pork and 0.5 cup of the BBQ sauce until the meat is evenly coated.

Step 4

Dust a 14-inch pizza pan or large baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of cornmeal or flour so the dough will not stick.

Step 5

Place the pizza dough on the dusted pan and stretch it gently from the center outward with your fingers until it covers most of the pan, about 12 inches wide.

Step 6

Brush the top surface of the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to help it brown.

Step 7

Spread the remaining 0.25 cup of BBQ sauce evenly across the dough, leaving a 0.5-inch border around the edges.

Step 8

Scatter the BBQ-coated pulled pork in an even layer across the sauce.

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the pork to cover the top.

Step 10

Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12–14 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest on the pan for 2 minutes before topping.

Step 12

Scatter the creamy coleslaw slaw in a thin, even layer across the entire pizza top.

Step 13

Cut the pizza into 4–6 slices with a sharp knife or pizza cutter, pressing straight down through the crust and toppings.
