Pizza Dough and 'sauce'
When you are ready to start putting together your entire pizza, preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Using olive oil spread a thin layer and cover the entire bottom and sides of a sheet pan. Once your dough has doubled in size (or use your store-bought dough), place it on an oiled sheet pan and using your hands spread the dough to fit the entire pan.
Place slices of mozzarella cheese (as the 'sauce') of the pizza on top of the dough.
Add Mac N Cheese
Spoon the Mac n Cheese on top of the slices of mozzarella cheese. Spread evenly over the entire pizza.
Add Chicken
Add the cooked, 'sauced' up chicken on top of the Mac n Cheese.
Sprinkled Blue Cheese Crumbles over the entire pizza.
Bake at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
Top With Celery and ENJOY!
After removing pizza from the oven, top with diced celery.
