Let’s face it – when that pizza craving hits, nothing beats a delicious chicken pizza from Domino’s. But with so many options on their menu, figuring out which chicken pizza deserves your hard-earned cash can be a real head-scratcher. As a self-proclaimed pizza enthusiast who’s tried pretty much every Domino’s pizza (sometimes way too late at night!), I’m here to break down which chicken pizzas at Domino’s are actually worth ordering.
The Chicken Pizza Lineup at Domino’s
Before we dive into the rankings, let’s get familiar with the main chicken pizza contenders on Domino’s menu as of 2025:
- Memphis BBQ Chicken – A smoky southern-inspired pizza with BBQ sauce
- Buffalo Chicken – Spicy buffalo sauce base with grilled chicken
- Cali Chicken Bacon Ranch – Ranch base with grilled chicken and bacon
- Philly Cheese Steak (while technically not a “chicken” pizza, it’s worth mentioning as a meat alternative)
There are also options to create your own chicken pizza by adding grilled chicken to any base. But for this article, we’ll focus on the specialty chicken pizzas that Domino’s has crafted for us.
#3: Cali Chicken Bacon Ranch – The Sandwich-Inspired Pizza
Coming in at the third position is the Cali Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza If you’ve ever thought, “I wish my chicken bacon ranch sandwich was a pizza,” then Domino’s heard you loud and clear
This pizza features:
- Ranch dressing base instead of tomato sauce
- Grilled chicken breast pieces
- Crispy bacon pieces
- Diced tomatoes
- A blend of mozzarella and provolone cheeses
- Provolone-enhanced crust for extra cheesiness
According to Mashed.com’s ranking, this pizza sits at a respectable position in their list, though it’s not at the top. The main drawback? Ranch as a pizza base can be divisive. Some people love it, while others find it better as a dipping sauce rather than the foundation of their pizza.
As one reviewer put it “Ranch dressing holds up better on thick sandwich bread than it does on thin pizza dough” But if you’re a ranch fanatic, this might just be your perfect pizza
The combination of chicken and bacon works really well and the tomatoes add a nice fresh element to balance the richness. It’s definitely not a traditional pizza, but sometimes breaking tradition leads to delicious results!
#2: Buffalo Chicken – For Those Who Like It Hot (But Not Too Hot)
Taking the silver medal in our chicken pizza rankings is the Buffalo Chicken pizza. This pizza replaces the traditional tomato sauce with tangy buffalo sauce and tops it with tender grilled chicken pieces.
Here’s what makes it special:
- Bold Buffalo sauce base bringing that signature acidity and mild heat
- Tender grilled chicken pieces throughout
- A perfect cheese blend that complements the spice
- Optional ranch or blue cheese dipping sauce on the side
According to the reviews, what makes this pizza shine is the balance. The Buffalo sauce isn’t overwhelmingly spicy (which might disappoint heat seekers) but provides enough zing to make things interesting. It essentially combines the comfort of Buffalo wings with the satisfaction of pizza.
One reviewer mentioned, “The bread and cheese add another factor, making the experience akin to ordering a side of mozzarella sticks along with your Buffalo wings and eating both as one.”
If you’re looking for something with a bit more personality than a standard chicken pizza but don’t want to venture too far from familiar flavors, the Buffalo Chicken pizza is a solid choice. It’s consistently ranked among the best Domino’s specialty pizzas for good reason!
#1: Memphis BBQ Chicken – The Crowned Champion
And now for the moment you’ve been waiting for… the best chicken pizza at Domino’s is undoubtedly the Memphis BBQ Chicken!
This pizza has consistently been ranked as one of the top Domino’s pizzas across multiple review sites. According to Cozymeal’s ranking, it’s consistently rated as one of the best Domino’s pizzas for its “rich, piquant taste” and is “a flavor-packed tribute to Southern-style barbecue.”
Here’s what makes it special:
- Sweet and smoky barbecue sauce base instead of tomato sauce
- Tender grilled chicken pieces
- Fresh onions for a slight bite and texture contrast
- A delicious blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses that creates the perfect melt
The barbecue sauce brings a bold, tangy kick while the grilled chicken adds a satisfying, juicy bite. The mix of mozzarella and cheddar brings just the right amount of creaminess to balance the smoky flavors.
One reviewer described it as “summer in a box” that can “beat back winter blues when you’re longing for the carefree living of warmer months.”
What sets this pizza apart from other chicken options is the balance of flavors. It’s sweet without being cloying, savory without being too heavy, and has just enough complexity to keep you coming back for another slice. The cheese blend works perfectly with the BBQ sauce, creating a harmonious flavor profile that just works.
Custom Chicken Pizza Options
If none of the specialty chicken pizzas at Domino’s tickle your fancy, remember that you can always create your own! Here are some winning combinations I’ve personally enjoyed:
-
DIY Chicken Pesto – Ask for a garlic parmesan white sauce base, add grilled chicken, spinach, tomatoes, and feta cheese for a Mediterranean-inspired treat.
-
Spicy Chicken Supreme – Regular tomato sauce base with grilled chicken, jalapeños, banana peppers, and onions for a kick that’ll wake up your taste buds.
-
Garden Chicken – Tomato sauce base with grilled chicken, mushrooms, green peppers, and black olives for a more vegetable-forward option.
Remember, with Domino’s claiming to offer around 34 million different ways to customize your pizza, your perfect chicken pizza might just be a few topping selections away!
Beyond Pizza: Domino’s Specialty Chicken
While not technically pizzas, I’d be remiss not to mention Domino’s Specialty Chicken options for those who want chicken and pizza flavors without the actual pizza format. These are basically boneless chicken pieces topped with various sauces and toppings.
The standouts include:
- Spicy Jalapeño Pineapple Specialty Chicken
- Crispy Bacon and Tomato Specialty Chicken
- Classic Hot Buffalo Specialty Chicken
These can be a great alternative if you’re craving chicken with pizza-adjacent flavors but want to skip the crust.
Final Thoughts: Which Chicken Pizza Reigns Supreme?
After tasting all the chicken pizzas Domino’s has to offer (multiple times, for research purposes obvs!), I gotta say the Memphis BBQ Chicken pizza takes the crown. It consistently delivers on flavor, has the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and somehow manages to taste even better as cold leftovers the next morning (we’ve all been there).
The Buffalo Chicken pizza comes in at a close second for those who enjoy a bit of heat, while the Cali Chicken Bacon Ranch rounds out the top three for ranch devotees.
But here’s the real secret – the best chicken pizza at Domino’s is ultimately the one that matches YOUR taste preferences. Pizza is personal, and what I love might not be your cup of tea (or slice of pizza?).
So whether you’re team BBQ, team Buffalo, or team Ranch, Domino’s has a chicken pizza that’ll satisfy your cravings. And if they don’t? Well, that’s what those 34 million customization options are for!
P.S. Pro tip: Always order a side of garlic dipping sauce no matter which pizza you choose. You can thank me later!
Sweet mango habanero
We were excited to see the sweet mango habanero wings on the menu at Dominos because we love a good spicy-sweet-acidic mix. But what we found when we actually ordered them was that the flavors were far from balanced. The syrupy sauce poured on top of the wings had a gloopy texture that made us hesitant to pick them up at first. Once we did and took a bite, we immediately realized that these were not what we had hoped for. They dont really taste like mango, per se — its more of a nondescript sweetness without much flavor intensity. They seemed to be missing acidity, which is what we were expecting from the mango flavor.
At least theres some heat to them, though, right? Not exactly. We were surprised at the total lack of heat in this sauce. Habanero peppers are exceptionally spicy, so we were expecting at least a hint of heat. Alas, it wasnt there, so if youre looking for something on the spicier side, youre likely to be disappointed by this selection.
Were not surprised that the honey BBQ sauce just wasnt it. The name of this flavor already made it sound unappealingly sweet, and thats exactly how it tasted when we took our first bite. The wing itself was good, but the globs of ridiculously sugary topping all over them made us feel like we were eating some weird-chicken-y dessert instead of whats supposed to be more of an appetizer. Granted, the BBQ sauce wasnt necessarily bad — its just designed for those who like a lot of sweetness in their BBQ. If youre not that kind of a person, you may want to avoid this option the next time you order from Dominos.
If you want to make this flavor a bit more interesting, dipping your wings in the provided ranch dressing is the way to go. It helps balance the palate and seems to reduce the BBQ sauces sweetness. But if you ask us, youre better off just ordering one of the other flavors in the first place. But, again, if you love sweet BBQ, this one will probably be your favorite of the bunch — the sugar profile is not for the faint of heart.
We were also holding out some serious hope for the garlic parmesan wings, and while we werent exactly disappointed, per se, we felt like they could have been better. First, it really pays to put them in a separate container and shake them up if the sauce just comes drizzled over the top of the wings as ours did. Otherwise, youll get big globs of the sauce instead of enjoying it in a way thats more integrated with the chicken itself.
Flavor-wise, the dressing isnt bad. However, the brand definitely goes heavy on the parmesan and super light on the garlic — so much so that the garlic is barely even perceptible. This might be a good move to accommodate those who dont like strong flavors, but its a bit of a letdown for the true garlic lovers out there.
That said, the sauce does offer something significantly different than most of the other options on the menu. The creaminess is really nice and isnt likely to give you severe heartburn in the wee hours of the morning. Would we order the garlic parmesan flavor again? Probably, but only if we planned on feeding guests with more sensitive stomachs.
Classic hot buffalo
Next up is one of Dominos other specialty chicken flavors. But this one is a bit better than the sweet BBQ bacon if you ask us. Its Dominos classic hot buffalo flavor, and we were surprised at how much we loved it. Its the same boneless wing chicken bites with buffalo sauce drizzled over the top. But then, Dominos took things a step further and added some ranch to the equation. Even if youre not a ranch person, dont worry — the amount of dressing youll find in this dish is negligible. It just adds a bit of a creamy texture to the rest of the meal, which helps balance out the strong flavors in the buffalo sauce.
If youre like us, you first experienced chicken wings smothered with buffalo sauce, and if youre a fan of that classic flavor, then youre definitely going to enjoy this offering. Though we were skeptical about how good the boneless bites would be, we found that they can actually compete with the bone-in wings when it comes to texture and juiciness — these werent dry in the slightest. Plus, since theyre easy to pick up and take small bites with, theyre perfect for sharing with family and friends. (We wont judge you if you want to keep them all to yourself, though.)
