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.

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 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.

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.
