Step 1

Prepare the Pizza Dough: In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 2

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 3

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 4

Prepare the Garlic Butter: On the stove, carefully melt your butter and mix in minced garlic. Remove from heat and mix in chopped parsley. Set aside.

Step 5

Prepare the Teriyaki Chicken Thighs: Marinate the chicken thighs in the Japanese BBQ sauce for at least 30 minutes.

Step 6

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken thighs and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked.

Step 7

Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 8

Prepare the Yum Yum Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, and paprika. Add water to thin the sauce to desired consistency. Set aside.

Step 9

Assemble the Pizza: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

Step 10

Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll or stretch the dough into your desired pizza shape and thickness.

Step 11

Carefully transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper.

Step 12

Brush all over the pizza with the prepared garlic butter.

Step 13

Arrange the sliced mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza.

Step 14

Spread the sliced teriyaki chicken thighs and thinly sliced onions over the cheese.

Step 15

Transfer the pizza (with parchment paper, if using) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 16

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 17

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.

Step 18

Drizzle the homemade yum yum sauce over the pizza.

Step 19

Sprinkle the chopped green onions on top.
