It is almost unbelievable that I have never posted this recipe for my Pear and Gorgonzola Pizza on the blog before. This dish is one of my favorites; a classic Iaciofano recipe. It is sweet, powerful, innovative. When you’re craving that sweet-meets-savory flavor combination, this is precisely the pie for you. You’ll dig the candy-like transformation of your oven-crusted pears, particularly when they’re contrasted with some tangy, oozing Gorgonzola. Serve and impress – yourself.

Stretch out your dough on a cornmeal-dusted peel to about 10-12” in diameter. Distribute the sliced pears evenly on the top of the dough
Scatter the gorgonzola cheese on top of the pears.
Drizzle with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and fresh rosemary.
Slide your pizza onto the stone in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes.
