FIRST: I've made this numerous times, and people always ask for the recipe. SECOND: This is a gourmet treat. If you make this expecting "pizza," you will be disappointed. Do not add sauce to this. If you want pizza with sauce and mozzarella, this is not your recipe. WHY I LOVE THIS RECIPE: It is unlike anything you will be served at any one else's home. I normally make it as an appetizer. The ingredients are incredible together -- provolone, pears, gorgonzola. I have found that it tastes better and better the longer it has been sitting out. Fresh from the oven, it's good. Once it cools down and the flavors meld, it's AWESOME. MY TIP: I definitely dice the pears so the flavor is spread across the entire pizza crust, and so it can be more easily eaten with fingers. NOTE: This is very sweet. A little bit goes a long way. I make it, cut into bite-sized pieces and people munch on it through the night at parties. TRY IT!!!

This was great! I've never had pears on a pizza before. I doubled the gorgonzola because I love it and left out the provolone because I didn't have any. Some other reviews suggested it needed some kind of sauce...I brushed olive oil on the crust (a Boboli-style) and put a thin layer of plain yogurt. I thought it was perfect! Thanks for the recipe!

Interesting flavor combination. It would be a great appetizer, but eating as part of a meal...not so much.

This was a huge hit at my dinner party as an appitizer. The guests I had were very picky but they raved about this and ate it all. I will be making this very often I am sure. I pre-baked the crust beforehand as reccomended.

This is one of my favorite appetizers to make. We have this great restaurant where I live that serves this and this recipe is almost identical. I really like to make my own pizza crust with this. I think it really adds to the flavor.

I make this recipe all of the time, and it is always a huge hit. It is the easiest recipe there is...it literally takes 10 minutes. I use Pillsbury crust and always add Emerald Original walnuts. Yummy!

It was good. I used cream cheese instead of provolone, so it was a bit dry. Maybe next time I will add some kind of preserves to the cream cheese.

This was great. Don't use a pillsbury crust. Chopped the pears instead of slices per other reviews. Added chicken that had been seasoned and very lightly coated in olive oil and balsamic to 2/3 of the pizza and tried part as written in the recipe. One chicken breast is enough for 1 pizza. We liked it much better with the chicken. Forgot completely about the walnuts until just now when I went to rate the recipe. Obviously didn't miss them but probably wouldhave been a nice addition to the section without the chicken for some protein and some toasty flavor. Would like to make again. If worried about the toppings falling off put the cheese on top. Yum two of us at teh whole thing :)

This is like my favorite pizza froma restaurant. Love it, but definately bake the crust for a few minutes first, I add carmelized onions and use hazelnuts instead of walnuts. A lot of reviewers talked about adding a sauce of some kind, instead of a sauce, try topping the pizza with mixed field greens tossed with a blue cheese or ranch dressing.

This is really good! I think pecans or almonds are a bit better than walnuts. Right before I served the pizza a piled an herb salad mix on top and drizzled it with a litte olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

My husband (who was very unsure of this unusual pizza) and I loved it! Great sweet/savory combination. I used cornmeal under the crust (for crunch and to keep it from sticking to the pan) and pre-baked it for 6 minutes. I also rubbed a garlic clove on the crust and brushed it with olive oil before adding the toppings. Great pizza! :)

I feel sort of "left out" after reading the reviews. Maybe it's just because it's not my sort of thing, but I didn't really like this. Neither did my boyfriend.

This was a very special/fancy appetizer. It got great reviews from those I served it to at our party. Very unique and not a dish seen at every party.

I did everything by the recipe, except I used carmelized onions and prebaked the crust a few minutes, as everyone suggested. I really liked it, but my guests weren't that impressed. I was surprised it didn't go over very well. I have to give it two stars. I wouldn't make it again.

Sounded great and couldn't wait to try it. I even bought double the amount so I could try it out before my holiday party. Glad I did. This recipe needs some serious "tweaking". I found it bland, bland, bland. Defintely needs a sauce or something. Threw most of it away. Bummer.
