I have been compensated and provided with product by Stubb’s Legendary Bar-B-Q sauces for this article. My opinions are my own.
BBQ brisket pizza is a beef lover’s treat. With Sticky Sweet BBQ sauce for the base, just add cheese, onion, jalapeno, ranch dressing and cilantro. You crowd will be howling for more. This bbq sauce pizza will win everyone’s hearts.
Lets celebrate our independence with fireworks, flags, family, friends and FOOD – that’s what the 4th of July is all about.
What a better way to feed your holiday crowd than with a Texas-sized spread including brisket and BBQ sides. The humble brisket will feed an army and with hands off slow cook time, you’ll have plenty of free time to prepare your sides for carefree entertaining.
Brisket is awesome on it’s own, but with some beans, slaw or corn on the cob it’s a full Texas-style meal. And don’t forget that unforgettable Stubb’s Legendary BBQ Sauce to garnish those sandwiches.
Authentic, delicious brisket recipes straight from Stubb’s Legendary Bar-B-Q will make for a memorable cookout this 4th of July. And that’s where I found this BBQ Brisket Recipe So easy, the brisket is simply coated with a couple of bottles of Stubb’s Beef Rub then slow cooked to tender, mouthwatering perfection.
Not owning a smoker, I’ve always prepared my brisket in the oven. Using brisket cooking tips from Stubb’s I followed this method:
After coating with the Stubb’s Beef Rub, I seared it at about 400 degrees on our gas grill until well browned about 5 minutes per side. Then wrapped it very well with heavy duty foil and transferred it to a 200-220 degree oven for about 8 hours, or until the internal temperature read 185 degrees. This was for a 7.5 pound brisket
Then I use the probe test – when a probe slides in and meets little resistance (like room temperature butter) it’s done. For this Black Bark version, there is no mopping so a nice flavorful crust forms on the brisket.
So easy you’ll feel like a BBQ pit master.
A tip from Stubb’s: Slice along the ribbon of fat that runs horizontally through the meat. Then, slice the meaty halves of the brisket against or across the grain.
Even though a brisket will feed an army, you’re sure to have left overs. And what to do with those brisket leftovers? How about adding that tender beef to a bbq sauce pizza.
Using Stubb’s Sticky Sweet for the red sauce base, a layer of cheddar cheese, some chopped red onion, tomato, and jalapeno, sprinkle on some of that shredded brisket.
Finished with cilantro and ranch dressing, this is a delicious pizza pie. The combination of flavors here is outstanding.
Stubb’s Sticky Sweet Sauce is a thick rich sauce with brown sugar and molasses for an authentic Southern flavor. It’s perfect for dipping, infusing and of course for brisket. It was a great base for this BBQ brisket pizza and complimented the toppings perfectly.
I free-formed this pizza dough rustic style and placed it on a baking sheet that had been sprinkled with corn meal . Add the toppings and bake until the cheese is bubbly and the dough is starting to brown.
Don’t forget to finish it with a drizzle of Spicy Ranch Dressing.

Spicy BBQ Brisket Pizza
Ingredients
- 1 12" Pizza shell
- ½ Cup Stubbs Sticky Sweet Legendary BBQ sauce or your favorite bbq sauce
- 1 Cup cheddar cheese grated.
- ⅛ Cup Red onion Chopped
- ½ Cup Tomato Rough chopped
- 1 – 2 Jalapeno Pepper chopped.
- 8 ounces Leftover smoked or BBQ Brisket chopped or shredded
- Fresh cilantro fine chopped and Ranch Dressing for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 or 425 degrees. Depending on which pizza dough you use and instructions per that product. Sprinkle pizza stone or baking sheet with corn meal. Add the pizza stone to the oven to heat up while you build the brisket pizza.
- Use the back of a large spoon to evenly coat the dough with the BBQ sauce. Leave about ½ inch from the edge without sauce. Sprinkle on the grated cheddar cheese.
- Add chopped onion, chopped jalapeno pepper, chopped tomato, ending with the shredded or chopped bbq brisket.
Notes
- Don’t be tempted to pour on more bbq sauce. It’s a strong flavor that will dominate the other ingredients. If you add too much, it may make the crust soggy and it’s all you’ll tase. Less is more.
- If using a pizza stone, place the stone in the oven while it pre-heats. A hot stone will help the pizza cook more evenly.
- Use a large spoon to drizzle on the Ranch dressing.
- If using fresh pizza dough, once rolled out sprinkle the pizza stone with corn meal before adding the pizza dough. This will add a nice crunch to the cooked pizza.
- Removing veins and seeds before chopping Jalapeno Pepper will decrease the spicy heat level.

Wow Lea Ann! that pic of the brisket pizza is magazine worthy, looks fabulous! Happy 4th to you!
Looks delicious Lea Ann and great use of leftover brisket – I’ve done pulled pork on pizza but don’t know that I’ve ever done brisket. Based on your blog, I bought some Stubbs sauce the other day.
Nothing like great brisket and what a fun idea to try! Great photo!
BBQ brisket is terrific stuff. Unless you do it outside on the smoker a lot, I think most people get better results in the oven. Anyway, love combining this with pizza. Really inspired! Thanks.
What a genius combination! I would love to celebrate the Fourth with pizza!
