Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If you're using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
Step 2
Place the pre-made pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza pan. If desired, lightly brush the crust with olive oil to enhance its crispiness.

Spread barbecue sauce evenly over the pizza crust, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges for the crust.
Step 4
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the barbecue sauce as the first cheese layer.
Step 5
Arrange the cooked chicken and red onion slices evenly over the mozzarella cheese.
Step 6
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and all of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 7
Season the pizza lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Step 8
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
Step 9
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a minute or two. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the pizza as a fresh garnish.
Step 10
Slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve warm. Enjoy your Ez Cheezy Barbecue Pizza!
