I have never given much thought to barbecue sauce. I usually just buy whatever is on sale or I have a coupon for. But that has all changed now thanks to pizza night.
I was making pizzas and decided to try two barbecue type pizzas. For one pizza I used a barbecue sauce I had leftover in the fridge and for this pizza I used Sweet Baby Rays, which happened to be on sale. I could not believe the difference! Sweet Baby Rays sauce was a million times better. It was thicker, more flavorful and just all around way better.
From now on I will only buy Sweet Baby Rays barbecue sauce and I am not getting paid and receiving any kind of compensation for saying these things. It is truly my own opinion.
If you are in need of a good homemade pizza crust check out my Whole Wheat Pizza Crust or Honey Whole Wheat Pizza Crust. Depending on the dough recipe you use you will either need to cut it in half so you only have one pizza, or double this recipe and make two Barbecue Chicken Pizza or make this pizza and another one of your choice.
