The BBQ Chicken pizza at Godfather’s uses BBQ sauce as the base instead of our Signature Sauce, layered with chicken, red onions, and mozzarella. It’s the cleanest, most straightforward build on our menu — and for people who want something outside the classic tomato-sauce world, it’s the answer.
What’s on the BBQ Chicken Pizza
The full build: BBQ sauce, chicken, red onions, mozzarella. That’s it. No extras, no fuss. At $13.99 for a mini up to $34.50 for a large, it’s priced the same as every other specialty pizza on our menu.
The BBQ sauce base is what defines this pizza. Unlike our Signature Sauce, which is tomato-forward and herby, BBQ sauce is smoky, slightly sweet, and tangy. It changes the entire flavor direction of the pizza. The chicken picks up that BBQ flavor during baking, and the red onions add a mild sharpness that cuts through the sweetness without overwhelming it. Mozzarella ties everything together with a clean, mild pull.
How It Compares to Chicken Bacon Ranch
We have two chicken-based specialty pizzas: BBQ Chicken and Chicken Bacon Ranch. They’re genuinely different experiences.
The Chicken Bacon Ranch uses ranch sauce as the base — creamy, cool, tangy — with chicken, bacon, and mozzarella. It’s richer than the BBQ Chicken and has more going on in the topping department (bacon adds smokiness and fat, ranch adds dairy depth).
The BBQ Chicken is the leaner of the two. Fewer toppings, cleaner profile. If you want something lighter or you prefer BBQ flavor over ranch flavor, this is your pick. If you want something richer with more toppings, go Chicken Bacon Ranch.
Crust Pairing
BBQ sauce is a strong flavor, and it benefits from a crust that can hold up to it without getting lost. Our Original vs. Golden Crust comparison applies here: the Golden Crust’s thicker, buttery character complements the BBQ base well, while the Original Crust gives you a more neutral backdrop that lets the sauce dominate. Thin Crust works if you want the toppings to really pop. Avoid Mozza-Loaded if you want the BBQ sauce to stay center stage — the extra cheese can compete.

When to Order BBQ Chicken
BBQ Chicken works best in a few situations:
- Mixed-preference groups — one pizza that satisfies people who don’t want red sauce and people who want something lighter than the All-Meat Combo
- Summer orders — BBQ flavor reads as summer food. When it’s 95 degrees in San Antonio in August and you want something that feels right for the weather, this pizza fits
- Half & Half pairing — order it as half of a large Half & Half specialty pie if you want to try it without committing to a full pizza. Pair it with the Humble Pie or Hawaiian for an interesting combo

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the BBQ Chicken pizza spicy?
No — the BBQ sauce is smoky and slightly sweet, not spicy. If you want heat, our Hot Stuff pizza is the go-to for jalapeños and spicy toppings.
How is the BBQ Chicken different from the Chicken Bacon Ranch?
BBQ Chicken uses BBQ sauce, chicken, red onions, and mozzarella — clean and smoky. Chicken Bacon Ranch uses ranch sauce with chicken, bacon, and mozzarella — richer and creamier. Both are specialty pizzas at the same price point.
Can I add toppings to the BBQ Chicken pizza?
You can customize any pizza by adding extra toppings. Jalapeños or green peppers add a nice contrast to the BBQ base. Order through the online system and add your customizations at checkout.
What size should I order for two people?
A medium ($24.75) feeds two people comfortably. Add a side like potato wedges or cheesesticks to round out the meal.
