Instructions
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12 inch circle. Transfer the pizza dough to a parchment paper lined pizza stone or baking sheet. Evenly spread the barbecue sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Add the BBQ chicken evenly on top of the cheese. Bake for 12 15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. In a small bowl, combine cooked corn kernels, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Set aside. Remove pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2 3 minutes. Top the pizza with the smoky corn relish mixture. Slice and serve immediately.
