When I started paleo, I was pretty devastated that pizza was out of the question. And I’d have to make crappy cauliflower pizza any time I had a Friday night craving…which was never the same. But that was 7 years ago and luckily pizza has come a looooong way since then. And thanks to Whole Foods, I’m constantly finding new brands and new companies that are making paleo easier and more delicious than ever! Brands like Simple Mills, Primal Kitchen, Kite Hill, Bonafide Provisions, Siete Foods, Epic Provisions and so many others are making the paleo lifestyle incredibly easy. Even Nom Nom Paleo recently teamed up with Whole Foods to bring her amazing recipes to their hot bar! You can literally walk into a Whole Foods now and quickly get paleo to go! It’s so freaking awesome!
So today I’m teaming up with Whole Foods to share some of my favorite paleo and gluten-free brands that I used to whip up this gluten-free, grain-free and dairy-free pizza that doesn’t make you feel like you’re limiting yourself or changing your diet. When I started paleo, it was before it became so popular and mainstream and I constantly felt like I couldn’t stick with it because I craved pizza and cookies and all kinds of other things I ate before paleo. But nowadays, it’s easier than ever to make the step into paleo and begin to make better and better choices when it comes to your diet. And Whole Foods is stepping into the future and making it so easy for you, too!
Whole Foods is where I shop the most. It’s where I get my fish and seafood, my favorite paleo products, and now it will be the place I go for lunch to get Nom Nom Paleo meals at the hot bar. No more worrying out canola oil or wheat or dairy in my hot bar meals. Instead I’ll be eating paleo recipes that I’m proud to put in my body! We are living in such a cool time that companies are changing and evolving as we have more knowledge about food and how it effects our body, and Whole Foods is at the forefront of that evolution! So excited to see what the future holds when it comes to clean foods and better choices!

Ingredients
- 1 package Simple Mills Pizza Dough

- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons hot sauce (I used Frank’s Hot Sauce)

I make *all* of your buffalo chicken recipes but I’ve buffalo-chickened-out my husband in the past year so I made this pizza for me. I went into the fridge to get leftovers and there weren’t any. Dang husband ate all of my leftovers! Nevermind that I loved it but the fact that it is husband approved, I’ll definitely be making it again. Thanks 🙂
yayyyyy!! that’s awesome!! so glad you both loved it!
Hi Juli!
This looks amazing! I’m wanting to make it tonight and noticed in the recipe you instruct to put the assembled pizza into the oven for 15 minutes. However, I’m not seeing what temperature the oven should be at. Is it the same temp you cook the simple mills crust at?
Thank you!!
same temperature. i believe it says that on the box in the instructions
Juli, this recipe was absolutely wonderful and we have already made it twice! I substituted Cauli Power brand crust that I had in the freezer because we were on a time crunch and this buffalo chicken pizza has been the ONLY way that I am able to get my husband to eat cauli. Thank you for always sharing such wonderful recipes, keeping me inspired, and being flat out honest and funny and real on your Insta. You’re the best!!
thank you so much for leaving a comment! i’ve never tried that pizza crust! adding it to my list! thank you for the kind words and thanks for trying out my recipes!

This was delicious! I will definitely make it again. And my husband, who is a reluctant participant in the paleo world, loved it too. Thanks for continuing to post creative and yummy recipes!
