This Pizzadilla was inspired by the California Pizza Kitchen’s BBQ Chicken Pizza. I love to eat at the California Pizza Kitchen. Their pizza is delicious, and I love the spinach and artichoke dip (LOVE IT). The only thing I don’t like about CPK is that they only serve Pepsi products. I am a Coca-Cola girl; I only drink Diet Coke. SO, I am forced to drink water at CPK.
Back to the pizzadilla. It has all the flavors of the BBQ Chicken pizza, and it only takes a few minutes to make. I sauteed the onions so they weren’t so overwhelming, but if you like raw onions you can skip that step. I used some Boars Head Chipotle Gouda cheese that I found at Publix. It wasn’t spicy, it just gave the pizzadilla a little extra flavor (regular gouda or mozzarella will work too). These pizzadillas are wonderful! We both devoured them. This will definitely be going in the regular rotation (along with a Diet Coke).

Sounds great.
My fave pizza at CPK is their BBQ Chicken pizza, but I'm in the minority and love that they serve Pepsi products!
Boars Head products are top notch. I like this pizzadilla, great spin on the pizza.
This recipe looks delicious. I can't wait to make them at home for my husband since we love BBQ pizza.
That's my favorite pizza, too. Never thought about making it into a quesadilla. Sounds delicious!
This looks SO good! I feel your pain with Pepsi products! Coke products or nothing!
Not drinking any kind of soda is so good for you, even if it's a diet drink. I mostly drink water now everywhere I go, except when I am having coffee, glass of wine or beer.
I have tea at home, no sugar.
I am so glad to hear that there is someone else out there who gets a pain in their heart when places on serve Pepsi products!!! Diet Pepsi is definately the devil! 😉
