Pear and Gorgonzola Pizza
Pear is sweet and fresh where gorgonzola is tangy, rich and savory, a contrast that keeps every bite interesting. The affinity runs both ways, which is why this combination keeps showing up on serious pizza menus.
Thinly sliced pear adds a delicate, perfumed sweetness and elegant, crisp texture. Italy's signature blue cheese adds a bold, tangy bite with rich, creamy veining. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
