Gorgonzola and Pear Pizza
Gorgonzola is tangy, rich and savory where pear is sweet and fresh, a contrast that keeps every bite interesting. The affinity runs both ways, which is why this combination keeps showing up on serious pizza menus.
Italy's signature blue cheese adds a bold, tangy bite with rich, creamy veining. 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.
