Pizza nights are made for flavour, speed and no fuss.

Why our smoked chicken?

• 🏆 Award-winning flavour — Gold Medal at the 2025 Melbourne Royal Australian Food Awards.
• 🔥 Smoked and ready to eat — no brining, no fuss, just slice and go.
• 🐔 100% free-range Australian chicken — premium quality, locally made.
• ⚖️ Perfect portion — around 280–300 g each, ideal for topping pizzas or tossing into salads.

Ingredients

• 1 large pizza base
• 3 tbsp tomato passata (or pizza sauce)
• 100 g Lucky Pig Gold Medal Smoked Chicken, sliced or torn
• ½ red capsicum, thinly sliced
• ½ red onion, thinly sliced
• ¼ cup black olives, pitted
• 150 g fresh mozzarella, torn into chunks
• Chilli oil, for drizzling
• Fresh herbs (basil, parsley or oregano), to garnish
• Salt & black pepper

Method

1. Preheat oven to 220°C (fan-forced) and place a baking tray or pizza stone inside to heat up.
2. Spread the passata evenly over the pizza base and season lightly with salt and pepper.
3. Top with smoked chicken, capsicum, onion, and olives. Dot mozzarella evenly over the top.
4. Transfer to the hot tray or stone and bake for 12–15 minutes, until the base is crisp and the cheese is golden.
5. Remove from the oven, drizzle lightly with chilli oil, scatter with herbs, and slice to serve.

Tips & Variations

• Try a different base — wholemeal, sourdough or gluten-free work well.
• Boost the veggies — add mushrooms, spinach or zucchini.
• Add extra heat — sliced jalapeños or extra chilli oil for spice lovers.
• Don’t skip the hot tray — it makes the base crisp and restaurant-quality.

Serving suggestion

Serve with a simple green salad or a few wedges of lemon for freshness. It’s a quick, flavour-packed meal that makes the most of our signature smoked chicken — perfect for weeknights or weekend gatherings.
