This week’s Weird Wild Pizza
Butter Chicken Pizza
The thing that makes this Butter Chicken Pizza recipe so special, well it’s not just one thing, there is some 
magic happening here with the comforting butter chicken sauce, thick pan-seared and oven-roasted slices of chicken coated in more sauce. And you can’t forget the layers of red pepper and onions for some crunch and freshness, but those are oven-roasted too, ’cause why not.
I’ve had a lot of Butter Chicken Pizza’s but this recipe is by far the boldest one yet. Most of the time you will find tiny cubes of “I think it’s chicken”, but not here! Not at Weird Wild Pizza! Here we deliver giant pieces of delicious chicken you will never forget.
OUR MAGICAL WILD PIZZA DOUGH
All Weird & Wild Pizza’s are made with naturally occurring wild yeast to produce a healthier gluten option, and if you don’t care about that, it’s all good because it still delivers amazing taste.

Butter Chicken, an Indian dish made of chicken in a mildly spicy tomato sauce, so naturally it works great on this pizza, a classic with a kick!
In India, a bell pepper is referred to as a capsicum, while all other chili peppers are called chili’s.
Red Onions, a staple in India, are great at enhancing any dish and adding extra layers of flavor.
