Pulled Pork Pizza with BBQ Sauce
Leftover pulled pork on a charcoal-grilled pizza with BBQ sauce, red onion, and mozzarella. The best use of yesterday's smoke.
Every long pork cook should produce leftovers, and this is exactly what they’re for. When you’ve slow-smoked a shoulder to tender perfection, the smoky pulled pork that remains is a versatile ingredient, and here it finds a new life atop a charcoal-blistered pizza base. The contrast between the rich, slow-cooked meat and the crisp, slightly charred dough creates a harmony that’s more than the sum of its parts.
This recipe uses simple, seasonal ingredients that complement the pork without overwhelming it. Red onion adds a touch of sharpness and texture, while smoked paprika deepens the smoky notes already present in the meat. Fresh coriander brings a bright, herbal lift to balance the richness. Cooking the pizza directly on a heated stone or steel inside a kettle BBQ gives you that authentic fire-cooked finish—crispy base, bubbling cheese, and just enough char.
It’s a straightforward way to bring everyday BBQ into the kitchen without fuss or ceremony. The BBQ here is a tool for crafting flavours and textures, not an occasion in itself. Whether you’re making this after a long cook or just want to experiment with fire-cooking at home, it’s a satisfying, grounded recipe that makes the most of what’s at hand.
