Ingredients
- 1 pound store-bought pizza dough (thawed if frozen)
- 1.5 cups pulled pork, shredded
- ¾ cup BBQ sauce (Memphis-style or vinegar-based)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons cornmeal or flour
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- 1
Set the oven to 475°F and wait until the indicator light or beep tells you it has finished heating, about 10 minutes.
- 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.
- 3
In a medium bowl, stir together the pulled pork and 0.5 cup of the BBQ sauce until the meat is evenly coated.
- 4
Dust a 14-inch pizza pan or large baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of cornmeal or flour so the dough will not stick.
- 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.
- 6
Brush the top surface of the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to help it brown.
- 7
Spread the remaining 0.25 cup of BBQ sauce evenly across the dough, leaving a 0.5-inch border around the edges.
- 8
Scatter the BBQ-coated pulled pork in an even layer across the sauce.
- 9
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the pork to cover the top.
- 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.
- 11
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest on the pan for 2 minutes before topping.
- 12
Scatter the creamy coleslaw slaw in a thin, even layer across the entire pizza top.
- 13
Cut the pizza into 4–6 slices with a sharp knife or pizza cutter, pressing straight down through the crust and toppings.
