Once, thick, remove from the heat and set aside.

3. Roll out the thawed pizza dough and place it in a lightly greased pan. In a separate small bowl, combine the butter and garlic together, stirring until you have a thick spread. Brush the garlic butter mixture over top of the dough, including the edges.

4. Reserve a 2-3 tbsp of the honey BBQ sauce mixture and brush the rest onto the dough as a base layer. Then layer the mozzarella cheese on top.
