This is a recipe to wow your guests with. The first bite is pure heaven, and you won't want to stop! Loaded with flavor and lots of creamy cheese, best recipe EVER!

Very tasty! We went a little light on the blue cheese as we didn't want that to over power the pizza. Very worth buying all the ingredients! Will be making this again.

I just made this pizza for dinner and it was great! I made it a little differently than the original recipe. I grilled chicken breast with garlic salt instead of using the blackening seasoning. I also used mozzarella cheese instead of blue cheese. I am not a fan of sun dried tomatoes which saved me almost $10.00 at the grocery store. Even with these substitutions, the pizza came out great! I brushed the crust with some butter before baking which made it crunchy and added a good flavor. One reviewer said that the meal was a little expensive. If you make these small editions, the pizza will still come out great and save you some money in the end.

I loved this pizza! It was a bit pricey but quality ingredients. The blackened chicken is what triggered my interest for this recipe. I've never tasted blue cheese so i decided to take a chance. I will defientely try this pizza again!

I loved this recipe..completely surprised my boyfriend because it turned out so well. He can't eat tomatoes so using Alfredo sauce was his favorite part of this pizza...would definitely make this recipe again :)

This recipe was great. The sun dried tomatoes really made it pop.

This was time-consuming, but wonderful. I froze one to enjoy later. Couldn't find the blackened seasoning, so googled it and made my own. Wonderful flavors.
