Trim chicken thighs and marinate in olive oil and Buffalo seasoning for a couple of hours.

Preheat the flat top grill to medium-high heat.

Cook the marinated chicken thighs on the flat top for 2-3 minutes on each side until they reach 165°F to 170°F, then chop them up.

Press and shape the proofed pizza dough into a 15-inch round.

Oil the flat top grill and place the dough on it to par-bake until it starts to brown.

Flip the dough to cook the other side briefly.

Move the dough to the cooler side of the grill to build the pizza.

Spread Buffalo wing sauce over the dough as the pizza sauce.

Add chopped cooked chicken on top of the sauce, followed by mozzarella cheese and red onion.

Top with crumbled blue cheese and close the lid to melt the cheese and brown the pizza.
