Drizzle 3 tablespoons of blue cheese dressing and 1-2 tablespoons of buffalo sauce over the toppings.

Bake for 13 minutes, then remove the pizza from the oven.

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 2-3 more minutes, or until the crust begins to brown.

Garnish the pizza with green onions, red pepper flakes, and parsley. Slice and serve.
