Prep
- Pizza dough - Cover in flour and let rest for at least 30 minutes outside of fridge before rolling out. (Resting dough gives gluten time to chill out, which makes the dough much more pliable.)

- Romaine / Cucumbers - Prep as directed and combine. (Can be done 1 day ahead)

We used pre-made pizza dough to save time, so that could have been an issue. However, the tomato sauce mixed with the other flavors just didn't work. Next time, we'll try using barbecue sauce instead to complement the flavors that are already in the pulled pork.
0 HelpfulWe've made this pizza before but it is so good. We had a guest over this time on the night that we made it and he also loved it. Winner!
0 HelpfulUsed pre-made thin crust, added red onion and made sure to de-seed the jalapeno and dice it small to cut the spice. I'd consider using a white sauce next time so we can top it with BBQ sauce. Yum!
0 HelpfulWe spiced up the sauce a bit with BBQ sauce and made homemade crust. Pineapple and jalapeño were great.
