Tracing the Roots of Unique Combination
The evolution of pizza is so diverse that it had been served with many different ingredients and bread. It came into existence in the 18th or early 19th century in Italy and later turned out to be the star of the show with many modifications and experiments.
Talking about chicken pizza, this unique combination was created back in 1985 in California. Later, it resulted as the first BBQ chicken pizza on the menu of California Pizza’s Kitchen. This unique fusion of adding chicken to a pizza was invented by the pizza chef- Ed LaDou.
Ed-LaDou was an ace in the genre of pizza making. His creations were simply amazing and some of them include pizza toppings with duck sausage, smoked salmon, red pepper, and ricotta cheese. Later in 1985, Larry Flax, co-founder of California Pizza Kitchen approached La Dou to create something out of this world. This resulted in many splendid pizza creations such as –
- The Original BBQ Chicken Pizza
- Thai Chicken
- Jamaican Jerk Chicken

You can try out your style of pizza by adding additional toppings, cheese, sauces, bacon, and whatnot. It’s highly recommended to pre-cook the chicken before adding it to the pizza.
