BBQ Chicken Pizza

Do you have get the idea for a meal in your head and all you can think about is how good it sounds?  For about a week or so, I had a craving for BBQ Chicken Pizza, which is strange because I don't usually like "specialty" pizzas (besides Ian's, now Dimo's Pizza, of course).  Yet, I couldn't get the thought out of my head.  My sister-in-law mentioning making it a few weeks back and said it turned out good so, I thought what the heck.

Well, it ours didn't turn out good, it was AMAZING!
