Do you guys have any idea how fast the sun sets in the winter?  It’s not fair to food bloggers.  So you’ll have to excuse the appearance of these pictures.  I tried my hardest – twice!

That’s my favorite from the first try.  Silly me was so excited about the pizza that I didn’t notice the BIG RED SPLOTCHES OF BUFFALO SAUCE ALL OVER THE PLATE (insert eyeroll emoji here).

Food blog n00b duh #1.

And here’s the best one from the second try.  By the time the pizza came out of the oven, the sun was gone for the day, and there was no daylight left.  So these pictures are really orange and yucky looking.  Sigh.

You can’t say I didn’t try.

But I am lucky.  Because:

Buffalo chicken pizza is one of the greatest things known to man.  And I got to eat it TWICE to write this blog post.  🙂

There’s a pizza place by my mom’s house in the ‘burbs called Giuseppe’s that makes the most amazing pizza.  Forget pizza in the city – all the places I’ve tried down here have got nothing on Giuseppe’s.  I first had buffalo chicken pizza at Giuseppe’s, and it was one of those things that was painful to eat – so spicy ah! – but I couldn’t stop eating it.  We were living at my mom’s for a little while to save up money to buy our house, and a few times a month I would swing by Giuseppe’s on the way home from the train station on a Friday night, pick up a pizza and some fried appetizers, and we would hole up in our room in the basement and watch movies all night.  Ah, the good old days.

Then when we moved to the house we live in now, we discovered that almost all of the buffalo chicken pizzas around here had – GASP – red sauce on them.  What the huh?!  Buffalo chicken pizza doesn’t need red sauce.  What is this blasphemy?  Then we finally found a pizza place that made buffalo chicken pizza without the red sauce!  Their pizza is very very good.  One time while I was pregnant and experiencing a particularly strong aversion to chicken, I made Aaron call them and order me a buffalo chicken pizza without the chicken.  Yes, just the buffalo sauce and cheese.  Ha!  They actually obliged.

So one night Aaron had this idea to try making our own buffalo chicken pizza.  And it turned out SO GOOD.  And when you serve it with blue cheese dressing – zomg – so slutty.  I love the addition of scallions on top because I like the pop of green, but I also love the flavor.  And the melted pools of gorgonzola dolce – ahhhhh.  So luscious.  Serve it with my blue cheese dressing to amp up the sluttiness.  Make it a takeout night at home by baking up some of Alexia’s onion rings or some Chickie’s and Pete’s Cheese Fries and you are all set!!
