The signature pie is baked in a cast iron skillet and can be made with either handmade or store-bought dough. The pizza's other ingredients include olive oil, traditional marinara sauce, and a hint of hot sauce for an extra kick. Additionally, unsalted butter, heavy cream, whole plain yogurt, lemon juice, celery salt, garlic powder and mild blue cheese are required. The recipe also calls for its cooked chicken topping to be shredded into small, bite-sized pieces and combined with shredded celery stalks, shredded mozzarella and freshly ground black pepper. The result is a pizza version of a classic, pub-inspired dish and is ideal for [game day parties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winginspired-menu) or other casual gatherings.
