Need help for BBQ pork pizza
 

I have some leftover BBQ ribs and a pizza crust hanging around the fridge, so the plan for tonight is to make sort of a BBQ pork pizza.

I've got cheese, some mushrooms and a red pepper for toppings, but I'm not sure what to do about the sauce.

Regular tomato based pizza sauce doesn't seem like it would be quite right. I think straight BBQ sauce would be too think and gloppy. Ideas for what to cut it with? I suppose I could just brush the crust with olive oil and go sauceless. I guess I could also make a sauce from the red pepper, which could be interesting.

Try mixing the regular pizza sauce with a little BBQ sauce. Maybe a 3 to 1 ratio. Chopped onions might be another nice addition before cooking and maybe shred some fresh basil over the top afterwards.

What about some teriyaki or sweet& sour sauce, if that's to your liking?

Either would go well with onions and/or mushrooms.

I would cut the BBQ sauce with tomato sauce or pizza sauce 1/2 and 1/2. I do this all the time for BBQ chicken pizza.

The pork should be quite highly flavoured -particularly once it's been baked again- so I'd vote for keeping completely away from the bbq saucevand stick with the standard tomato sauce

Good point! and thanks to all the respondents. I'll give a report tomorrow morning!

A pizza place I visit sometimes has BBQ slices. They just used the meat from a pulled pork and cheese with a bit of extra BBQ sauce on it. It's not covered in sauce, but it's really good.

Let us know what worked out for you.

The pizza has been delated until tomorrow. Report after that.

I do love a delated pizza.

LOL - I think that's when you put the crust through a special machine to put holes it in, sort of like Swiss Steak. Which reminds me, do they have Swiss Steak in Switzerland??

Think they have Swedish massage in Sweden :o
But man they do an awesome meatball !

Now, back on topic,
Was the pizzw delated or so good you can't bring your self to brag :D

The pizza was a success, although not entirely what I had hoped for.

I went ahead and mixed regular pizza sauce and BBQ sauce about half and half. Put on toppings - onion, green pepper and mushrooms along with the BBQ Pork.

It was a delicious pizza, but tasted more like a normal pie that happened to have Pork on it than like an actual BBQ pizza. I think next time I'll just use straight BBQ sauce.

regular pizza sauce has italian seasonings in it, not a good mix. I'd have at most thinned a sweet bbq sauce with PLAIN tomato sauce so it wasn't just cloyingly sweet.

It all sounded overpoweringly rich to me ..... but we all have different tastes.

I would have removed all meat from the rib and forked it and then mixed it in with some of the tomatos sauce to rehydrate it a bit. I'd then really play down the tomato sauce to a smear but perhaps just add a touch of sweet chilli sauce to the tomato sauce to lift it a bit but all the bbq sauce sounds a bit cloying to me.

Also ...... a touch of ouzo or other liquorice based liquor to the tomato sauce makes a great replacement for basil and really lifts the sauce.
