2 tbs Pepperoncini or Banana Peppers, thinly sliced

2 tbs BBQ Sauce
1 tsp Sunflower Oil Any High Temp Neutral Oil, canola, vegetable, safflower, etc.

Heat up 1 cup of water to boiling in a small bowl, by either bringing water to a boil over the stove or microwave the bowl of water for 2-3 minutes
Add the 1 tbs Nutritional Yeast Flakes, 1 tsp Mushroom Seasoning, 1 tsp Garlic Powder, 1 tsp Onion Powder, 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika, and the 1/2 tsp Sea Salt

Add the 1/2 cup of Dried Soy Curls
Set aside, let hydrate and marinate for at least 15 minutes while you continue with the next steps

If using refrigerated store-bought dough, let it get to room temperature for 30 minutes.
Otherwise make your favorite pizza dough recipe here.
Stretch out your dough over a baking sheet with parchment paper, or onto preheated pizza stone
Preheat oven to 450F or according to your packaged pizza dough directions

Strain the soy curls from the broth.
Add 2 tbs of bbq sauce to coat them
Bring a frying pan up to medium high heat, add a 1tbs of neutral oil. Add the soy curls and sliced red onion to the pan and fry for 7-12 minutes to caramelize

Spread out the bbq sauce over the dough, sprinkle on the 1/2 Cup of mozzarella over the bbq sauce
Fold/roll in the crusts of the dough so the exterior is raised and all the pizza filling stays inside
Lightly brush the crusts with a little bit of olive oil and BBQ sauce to make it more flavorful and crispier
Add the bbq chick'n, finely chopped pineapple, pickled red onion, pepperoncini, then sprinkle the cheddar over everything
Bake in oven for 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted

Instead of making a vegan chicken broth you use a vegan chicken broth bouillon cube or premade vegan chicken broth.

Roughly 3 tbs of red onion. About a 2-inch chunk out of a red onion
