Description

Buffalo Tuna Pizza is a bold and flavorful dish combining spicy buffalo sauce, smoky turkey bacon, tender tuna, and creamy plant-based cheese (plant-based) on a crispy pre-made pizza dough crust. This easy, quick recipe balances heat, texture, and fresh ingredients for a delicious and satisfying dinner ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Pizza Base

  • Pre-made pizza dough: 1 ball (about 12 inches)
  • Olive oil: 1 tbsp, for brushing

Buffalo Tuna Mixture

  • Canned tuna in water: 1 can (5 oz), drained and flaked
  • Buffalo sauce (natural): 3 tbsp
  • Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural): 1 tsp
  • Natural gelling agent: 1/4 tsp (optional, for thicker sauce)

Toppings

  • Smoked turkey bacon: 4 slices, cooked crispy and chopped
  • Plant-based cheese (plant-based): 1 cup shredded
  • Chopped green onions: 2 tbsp

Garnish and Side

  • Celery sticks: 4 sticks, served on the side or chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Roll out the pre-made pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Lightly brush the surface of the dough with olive oil to ensure a golden, crisp crust during baking.
  2. Mix the Buffalo Tuna Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the drained and flaked tuna with buffalo sauce (natural) and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Stir well until the tuna is evenly coated. Add a pinch of natural gelling agent if you prefer a thicker, saucier texture that adheres better to the pizza.
  3. Layer the Pizza: Spread the buffalo tuna mixture evenly over the prepared crust. Sprinkle the crispy smoked turkey bacon pieces on top, then add a generous layer of plant-based cheese (plant-based). Be sure to cover the edges lightly to keep the cheese from melting off the base.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the plant-based cheese (plant-based) is melted and bubbling and the crust is golden brown. Monitor closely to avoid burning while achieving the ideal texture.
  5. Final Touches and Serving: Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle freshly chopped green onions on top for a burst of color and fresh taste. Serve immediately with celery sticks on the side for a crunchy, cooling balance to the spicy toppings.

Notes

  • Drain tuna thoroughly to avoid soggy crust.
  • Adjust buffalo sauce amount gradually to control spice level.
  • Cook smoked turkey bacon until crispy before adding to pizza.
  • Use a pizza stone if available for extra crispy crust.
  • Do not overload plant-based cheese (plant-based) to prevent greasiness.
