Imagine a pizza crust that tastes like those fluffy, cheesy garlic biscuits, topped with smooth alfredo, juicy chicken, and crunchy bacon bits. This isn't your regular pizza—it's what happens when two comfort foods collide in the best way possible. I tried so many versions before getting this combo just right, and now everyone always grabs for the final piece.
The first time this came out of my oven, the amazing smell drifted next door and my neighbor knocked to find out what I was cooking. Now we can't have friends over without them asking for it.
Essential Ingredients
- Red Lobster Biscuit Mix - This is crucial! I've tested homemade versions but they just don't match up
- Block Mozzarella - Forget the bagged stuff. Shredding it yourself makes all the difference for melting
- Good Alfredo Sauce - Homemade is awesome, but a premium store-bought works great when you're in a hurry
- Bacon - Get it super crunchy. Those little crispy chunks add amazing flavor bursts
- Chicken - You can use dark or white meat, just be careful not to dry it out

Foolproof Pizza Creation Steps
- 1.
- Let's start with that wonderful crust. Combine your biscuit mix with ice-cold water and cheese until it forms a rough mixture. The cold water matters—I once tried hot water and ended up with something too tough
- 2.
- Here's my biggest trick—coat your hands well with oil before touching the dough. I figured this out after struggling with stickiness too many times. Keep some extra oil nearby to dip into
- 3.
- When spreading the dough out, don't worry if it looks too thin. My first try, I actually bought extra mix thinking I needed more. Big mistake—it grows quite a bit during baking
- 4.
- For the chicken, go heavy on seasonings. The alfredo will tone down the flavors, so really go for it with that blackened spice mix
- 5.
- You absolutely must do the pre-bake step. I skipped it once and got a soggy center—won't do that again! Ten minutes gives you that solid foundation that stays firm under all the toppings
Clever Cooking Insights
That spice packet in the biscuit mix? Don't just sprinkle it on dry—mix it with melted butter first to make an amazing garlic-butter coating that soaks right into the crust. I found this out by accident when I knocked some butter into my seasoning, and now it's the best part!

Tasty Serving Ideas
After many pizza parties and family meals, I've come up with these serving ideas that make this dish even better:
* Add a tiny bit of spicy honey on top—the sweet heat really works magic
* Save some warm alfredo sauce on the side for dipping the edges
* Serve with a simple peppery arugula salad with lemon to balance the richness
Solutions For Common Problems
* If the crust edges get too brown too fast, wrap them with foil
* Got a wet middle? Your sauce was probably too runny. I pour off any extra liquid before adding it
* To really prevent sogginess, put a thin cheese layer down before adding any sauce
Fun Recipe Twists
I tried a buffalo chicken version last month that was amazing:
* Use buffalo sauce instead of alfredo
* Throw on some crumbled blue cheese
* Add a ranch drizzle right after it comes out hot
Keeping Leftovers Fresh
About reheating—forget the microwave! After lots of testing, this works best:
* Keep extra slices in a sealed container up to 3 days
* Heat slices in a covered pan on medium
* Put a few water drops under the lid to create steam that melts the cheese perfectly
This pizza has become more than food in my home—it's our end-of-week custom. There's something special about the mix of that buttery biscuit base, smooth sauce, and savory toppings that brings the whole family to the table.
Each time I make it, I remember that first experiment and how the recipe has grown. It shows that sometimes the tastiest foods come from asking "what if?" and trying something new.
