Lately I’ve been very into pizza and mixing things up with different sauces and toppings. I’m basically head over heels in love with the sauce on this Thai pizza. Sweet and spicy chili sauce – it’s absolutely mouth wateringly delish. I could eat it with a spoon. Oh wait…. I did eat it with a spoon.
If you’ve got a couple cups of shredded pork leftover from another midweek recipe just sitting in your fridge dying to be reinvented, use it for this pizza. But if you don’t happen to have some already made, just use my really simple shredded pork recipe I’ve listed below for you. Just a couple of ingredients and it’s no-fuss since you just throw it all in the slow cooker. Perfectly juicy and tender pork, ready for just about anything – especially this thai pork pizza.
Forget all about your typical pizza sauces for a second and go out on a limb. You need to have a slice of this pizza with the best-ever Thai sweet chili sauce. Just a warning, you may never go back to regular red sauce again. This stuff is so good you’ll want to eat it straight up, with or without pizza! But really, put it on pizza. With shredded pork. And lots of cilantro. You’re gonna thank me later.

Tiffany, thank you for this recipe. It’s so different than the usual peanut or peanut – hoisin Thai pizza sauce. A short story; years ago we lived near downtown in a much bigger city. It had a burgeoning arts – dining district we went to 2 or 3 days a week usually. Our picky eater son loved pizza, so we frequently went to the pizza place there. My wife would always get their Thai pizza. Tonight she said ‘make this again’ repeatedly, and this was the closest to her model Thai pizzas she would get so often. Thank you for making her so happy!
