Blue Cheese and Pear Pizza
Blue Cheese is tangy, rich and savory where pear is sweet and fresh, a contrast that keeps every bite interesting.
Bold, pungent blue cheese crumbles add an unmistakable tangy depth and creamy richness to pizza. Thinly sliced pear adds a delicate, perfumed sweetness and elegant, crisp texture. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
