Pear and Gorgonzola Pizza Recipe

Italian-American · Main course · 30 min total

A delightful combination of sweet pears and tangy Gorgonzola cheese on a crispy pizza crust, finished with a drizzle of honey and walnuts.

Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
• 2 ripe but firm pears (e.g., Bosc or Bartlett), thinly sliced
• 4 oz Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
• Fresh thyme leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside for at least 30 minutes.
2. Divide pizza dough into 2 equal portions. On a floured surface, stretch each into a 12-inch round.
3. Brush each dough round with olive oil. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over both, leaving a 1-inch border.
4. Arrange pear slices over the cheese. Top with crumbled Gorgonzola.
5. Carefully transfer pizzas to the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
6. Remove from oven. Drizzle with honey, sprinkle with walnuts and fresh thyme. Slice and serve immediately.

Tips

• For a crispier crust, par-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
• Substitute walnuts with pecans or pine nuts if desired.
• If Gorgonzola is too strong, use a milder blue cheese like Danish blue.
