BBQ Chicken Pizza

I made this pizza last month & after searching for a good pizza dough recipe for nearly 2 years I am happy to say that this is the BEST one yet!! The pizza is pretty darn good too. I made half the pizza BBQ Chicken and the other half just sauce & cheese for the kids. The dough recipe is enough for 2 large pizzas so you can save the other half for the next day.
