I was craving buffalo chicken pizza after eating it at Ledo's not too long ago with friends. Ledo Pizza is one of my favorite local pizza places in the DC metro area. They first opened in 1955 in Adelphi, Maryland which is near University of Maryland, College Park - my alma mater! I ate at the original Ledo back when I was in college but there is one near me in DC that delivers, how cool is that? I thought I would try making my own Buffalo Chicken Pizza and it turned out great. I made sure my crust was thin and crispy, plus the provolone cheese is what makes the pizza extra special. My sister-in-law once worked at a Ledo Pizza restaurant in the area and told me they used provolone cheese on their pizzas! I drizzled some ranch dressing on top of my pizza too - be sure to try that because it makes it more awesome. Enjoy!
