Bacon Avocado Pizza
I love the chicken club pizza from California Pizza Kitchen. They use all the wonderful items in a chicken club sandwich as toppings for a pizza. It’s genius. It also really helps that I love chicken club sandwiches.
I don’t know what it is, but bacon and avocado just go so well together. They make can take a regular chicken sandwich and make it an AMAZING chicken sandwich! Why not take those two delicious ingredients and turn a regular cheese pizza into something even better?
Enter the bacon avocado pizza. I didn’t use any sauce because I didn’t want to take away from the amazing flavors that are already present. I also don’t like pizza sauce very much. I don’t hate all pizza sauces, but I feel like only a small amount, or none at all is needed.

Place pizza on baking sheet
- Bake the pizza for 6 minutes. Remove pizza from oven. Top with slices of avocado and bake for another 2 minutes, or until the crust is golden.
