Pizza night doesn’t have to be just cheese and pepperoni! Shake things up with this pimento cheese BBQ pizza at your next pizza night or even for your next party!Â
Make your own pizza night just got a little more exciting with the introduction of pimento cheese and BBQ pork to the party. Give this unforgettable pizza recipe a try on your next pizza night and watch everyone fall in love with the flavors.
This pizza was inspired by a flatbread we had during our trip to Charleston. We did a walking food tour (always a great way to experience a city) and one of the restaurants had a similar dish. Even my husband loved it and he normally isn’t a big pimento cheese fan.
Pimento Cheese BBQ Pizza Ingredients
- Pork Tenderloin
- Spices and Seasonings – Salt, Pepper, Chili Powder, Cumin, and Garlic Powder.
- Pizza Crust – I use a pre-made crust but, if you have a favorite homemade dough, go ahead and use that. Just partially bake it first.
- Pimento Cheese – I use store bought pimento cheese a lot of times but this is a great homemade recipe option.
- BBQ Sauce – You can use your favorite store bought or homemade version.
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese
This pizza uses only a few ingredients which makes it perfect for a busy weeknight. Plus, it is packed with flavor. You could also substitute chicken for the pork and make a yummy pimento cheese BBQ chicken pizza instead.
In a pinch, I have also used the pre-cooked shredded pork at my local store. I definitely prefer the homemade version in this recipe but it is an option if you are pressed for time.Â
