Number Of Ingredients 17

Three 1-pound balls refrigerated pizza dough, at room temperature (see Cook's Note)
Olive oil, for greasing the pans
3/4 cup favorite barbecue sauce, plus more for garnish (I like smoky Kansas City sauce)
2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped, plus more for garnish
2 cups shredded Colby-Cheddar cheese blend
2/3 cup pizza sauce
Half a 4-ounce package sliced turkey pepperoni
2 cups shredded Italian blend cheese
1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves
2/3 cup pizza sauce
Half an 8-ounce package sliced mushrooms
1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
1/2 yellow bell pepper, sliced
2 cups fresh baby spinach
2 cups shredded Italian blend cheese

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease 3 large rimmed baking sheets. Place one dough ball in each baking sheet, and stretch and press the dough to fit into the pan.
For the BBQ Chicken Pizza: Toss 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce with the chicken. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup barbecue sauce over one pizza dough. Top with the chicken, red onion, cilantro and cheese.
For the Pepperoni Pizza: Spread the pizza sauce over another pizza dough. Top with pepperoni and cheese.
For the Veggie Pizza: Spread the pizza sauce over the third pizza dough. Top with mushrooms, both bell peppers, spinach and cheese.
Bake all of the pizzas until the crusts are browned and crispy and the cheese is melted, rotating the pans as needed to cook the pizzas evenly, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the pizzas stand 5 minutes before cutting. Drizzle the BBQ Chicken Pizza with additional barbecue sauce and sprinkle with cilantro, if desired. Sprinkle the Pepperoni Pizza with fresh basil.
