If you don't have a pizza stone, you can bake the pizza on a greased baking sheet.
To make the chicken ahead of time, cook it and shred it up to 3 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
If you don't have any black beans, you can substitute another type of bean, such as kidney beans or pinto beans.
To make the pizza more flavorful, add a teaspoon of chili powder or cumin to the chicken mixture.
If you like your pizza extra cheesy, add a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese to the top before baking.
