What toppings are good on pulled pork?

Popular pulled pork toppings include BBQ sauce, coleslaw, fried onion rings, pickled red onions, and bacon.

Can you use pork tenderloin for pulled pork?

Technically, yes, you can use pork tenderloin for pulled pork. However, pork tenderloin is not the ideal choice because it is much lower in fat compared to pork shoulder and pork butt. Pork tenderloin will become fork-tender, but it won't be as savory and melt-in-your-mouth as higher-fat cuts of pork are.

Is pork good on pizza?

The rich and savory flavors in pulled pork lend well to pizzas. When topped with melty, cheddar cheese, the pulled pork becomes even more irresistible!

What cheese goes best with pulled pork?

Sharp, aged cheeses like cheddar, gouda, and provolone are best. Mozzarella isn't as sharp, but will still provide rich and creamy flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

1 1/4 cups leftover pulled pork
1 - 12" thin-crust, cooked pizza shell

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450°F.
Warm the leftover pulled pork in a medium-sized skillet over low heat for 2-3 minutes to cook off some of the fat that has solidified onto the pork. Remove from the heat and set it aside.
Layer the pulled pork pizza toppings onto the pizza shell. Start with a layer of BBQ sauce. Spread the BBQ sauce almost to the edges, leaving a small amount of room for the crust.
Top the BBQ sauce with the reheated pulled pork, followed by the sliced red onions, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Transfer the pizza to the oven. Place it directly on the oven racks. Cook the pizza for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is hot and bubbly.
Carefully slide the pizza out of the oven, onto a cutting board or baking sheet, then top it with fresh arugula.
Let the pizza rest for 2-3 minutes before cutting it into six equally-sized slices. Enjoy!

Notes

Keep a close eye on the pizza while it bakes. Cooking times may vary depending on what pizza crust you're using. Look for golden brown crust and bubbling cheese.
BBQ sauce can be made from scratch or store-bought. I love a few store-bought brands and prefer to save time and buy the sauce! I recommend Rib Rack BBQ Sauce and Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce.
