Pear, Feta and Walnut Pizza

This Pear, Feta and Walnut Pizza is not your ordinary pizza.  The combination of sweet pears, tangy feta and toasty walnuts is out of this world delicious!

This Pear, Feta and Walnut Pizza is my all-time favorite!

There are a few recipes that I make that I’ve been making forever. This Pear, Feta and Walnut Pizza is one such recipe. I first made this pizza shortly after Brad and I got married, and we’ve been married for over 11 years now. As a side note, I just spent about three minutes figuring out how long we’ve been married. Not enough sleep + mom brain are challenging my memory and math skills! It’s a very good thing summer is near, indeed.

When I make favorite recipes like this one, it helps me to remember times past and what day to day life was like back then. Life sure was a lot simpler before we had a house and 3 kids, but a whole lot more boring too! Now when I make this pizza I either have little helpers in the kitchen or I’m trying to multitask five things at once.  🙂

This Pear, Feta and Walnut Pizza is my all-time favorite!

For years I made this pizza with gorgonzola cheese, and the combination of the gorgonzola and pears is really good.  Lately, though, I’ve been using feta instead and loving it.  We keep feta on hand in our refrigerator much more often than gorgonzola, so it works out convenience-wise too.

I like to use my favorite pizza dough recipe for the crust. It’s easy to make and so delicious with your favorite toppings.

Out of all of the homemade pizzas that we’ve made over the years, this one is my favorite. We rotate between this recipe, Margherita pizza, BBQ chicken pizza, and a simple veggie and olive pizza.  I hope you like it as much as we do.  Enjoy!

  • 1 pear, cored and thinly sliced (Bosc or any type you prefer)
  • 2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives

Instructions
 

  • Place a pizza stone in a 500 degree oven to preheat for at least 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, roll out pizza dough into a 12 to 14-inch round and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly brush dough with a little bit of olive oil. Sprinkle on the mozzarella cheese.
  • Arrange the pear slices on top of the cheese; top with feta and walnuts.

Notes

Gorgonzola or goat cheese are also delicious in place of the feta cheese.
