- This pizza can be made with rotisserie chicken or any leftover cooked chicken.
- If you want an extra layer of flavor you can top your pizza crust with a little bit of pizza sauce, bbq sauce or Alfredo sauce.
- Although fresh crisp bruschetta is what sets this pizza apart, if you prefer your bruschetta a little cooked you can place on top of the pizza and bake for 5 more minutes.
