Some people love a thin crust, while others prefer it thick and fluffy. However, in this recipe, the base is not the classic dough but sweet potato.

Pizza definitely has many names. It looks different in the United States, and even the Italians themselves have tons of ideas and recipes for it. If you want to impress your loved ones with a unique treat, go for this one with a sweet potato crust. Instead of classic toppings like mozzarella or salami, it features BBQ sauce, pulled chicken, and bell pepper. It's a delicious departure from the classics, perfect for a family dinner, party snack, or warm supper.
