21 Day Fix Buffalo Chicken Pizza is a healthy version of the pizzeria favorite! Use precooked chicken to serve this up in no time! This post may contain affiliate links for products I’m obsessed with.
Confession #109 – I’ve been on a pizza kick.
It started a couple of weeks ago when my husband and I went to this Pizza Cafe in the Philadelphia neighborhood where we met and then lived for the first ten years of our life together.
So many memories from those years.
Our first date. Getting engaged. Buying our house. Having our daughter.
And Pizza.
Lots and lots of Pizza.
Our favorite Friday night take out was from The Couch Tomato Cafe , which opened right about the same time as my husband and I started dating. And I’m pretty sure it was there that I had my first slice of Buffalo Chicken Pizza.
Oh my heavens.
One bite and this New York pizza snob was smitten…and while my relationship with my husband was just beginning, so was my love affair with The Couch Tomato.
Anyway, since our recent stop there a few weeks ago, where we felt very old next to all the adorable twenty-somethings, I have made my own Fix approved Buffalo Chicken Pizza several times.
Is it the same?
Nope.
But it is pretty freaking delicious in it’s own right. So I thought it was about time I shared it here…in case you are all on a pizza kick, too.
I use whatever whole grain wraps, tortillas, or flatbread that I might have in the house for my 21 Day Fix Approved Pizzas and I just toast them in the oven a bit before adding the toppings. For this, I started with some blue cheese infused ricotta as the base.
Then I added some buttery chicken and hot sauce, more blue cheese, mozzarella, and some diced up red onions.
Bake until bubbly and then voila! Spicy, creamy, and oh-so-delicious pizza all for you. This smelled so amazing, I started munching even before I finished taking pictures.
Anyway, I plan to share more pizza recipes while I am currently obsessed, but check out my Taco Pizza and my Spinach and Artichoke Pizza in the meantime! Enjoy!

21 Day Fix Buffalo Chicken Pizza is a healthy version of the pizzeria favorite! Use precooked chicken to serve this in no time!
Ingredients
- olive oil spray – I used my Evo
- 1 whole grain wrap, tortilla, or flatbread
- 1 tsp butter or ghee
- 1/2 cup of diced, cooked chicken
- 1/4–1/3 cup of hot sauce (more sauce, more spice!)
- 2 T ricotta cheese
- 2 1/2 T blue cheese
- 3 T shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 T diced red onion
- garlic powder
- parsley
Instructions
- Spray wrap or flat bread with olive oil spray, then toast in a 375 degree oven until it begins to crisp. I usually place mine right on the oven rack. Remove from oven and turn oven up to 400 degrees.
- Mix 2 T of ricotta cheese with 1 T of blue cheese. Sprinkle with garlic powder and spread mixture onto pizza crust.
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium-low heat and add diced chicken and hot sauce. Cook for a few minutes to let the flavors combine, then spoon chicken and hot sauce onto the ricotta/blue cheese layer.
- Top with remaining blue cheese, mozzarella, diced red onion, and parsley. Bake pizza on a baking sheet or pizza stone for 4-5 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and brown.
- Enjoy!

I love all of your recipes but I do not follow the 21 day fix, is there a way for me to know the caloric totals?
Nancylynn says
Hi Kim!! That’s awesome – so happy the recipes are helping!! I have debated adding calorie info on my site, but worry because the plug-ins aren’t always reliable. But you can put this link into my fitness pal and they will calculate it for you…and I find them really reliable! Hope this helps!
Courtney says
Is the container count for the entire pizza??
Nancylynn says
Yes – one pizza!
Debbie says
Sounds yummy!! Can’t wait to try!!! What size wrap do you use???
Nancylynn says
As large as I can find 🙂 There are so many good options now that are low in carbs and calories!
Nicole says
The Couch Tomato Cafe was one of my favorite spots when I lived in Manayunk. I must try this!
Nancylynn says
Omg – the best, right? I miss Philly food!
Stefanie says
Made this tonight and be loved it! Every time I think I find a favorite, I find another one of your recipes that amazes the whole family! Thank you and I love the couch tomato too!
Nancylynn says
Are you near Philly, Stefanie?? And thank you for your sweet note – you have no idea how much that means to me!!
Amber says
What kind of hot sauce do you usually use?
Nancylynn says
Franks!
Jamie says
Hi!! So excited to try this tonight!! Have you ever tried this with pre-cooked/pre-diced chicken from the store, like one of those little Tyson bags? Or do you always cook your own chicken that you had on hand? Also, your recipes are AMAZING!!!! Everything I have tried has been incredible. Your zuppa toscana soup has saved me so many calories and so much money for lunch this week 🙂
Nancylynn says
Awesome, Jamie – this makes me SO happy! And yes – that could totally work for this perfectly!!
Madeline says
Hi Nancy,
Is that supposed to be teaspoons of cheese? Because the capital T confuses it with Tablespoon.
Nancylynn says
It’s T for Tablespoon 🙂
marie s says
is there an alternative for the blue cheese. my hubs and i have a hard time eating it
Nancylynn says
extra mozzarella, feta, or goat would work!!
Lauren says
Just made tonight with gorgonzola instead of blue cheese. Superb, it satisfied my pizza and wing cravings at the same time!
PS – we have a couch tomato in West Chester and I have yet to visit – is the pizza that good – always looking for a good pizza that hit this NY Girls standards!
