Double-Ranch Pizza with Chicken and Bacon

Best Cheese Pizza - Pizza

This pizza is fast to make when using rotisserie chicken, and prepared pizza dough. For an even quicker preparation use already cooked bacon crumbles. I cook my pizza in a cast iron skillet for a slight crunch to my dough. Serve with a small salad if desired.
