I loved this pizza, as did everyone at my party. It has interesting and tasty flavor. I would recommend baking the crust a little before adding the toppings because it was a little soggy in the middle.

Wonderful recipe. I took it to wine club. Everyone brings a bottle of wine and an appetizer. This recipe was the hit of the party.

I loved this recipe but made a few changes using what I had at hand.I sliced whole wheat pita bread in half and toasted it, then sprayed with olive oil spray and spread dijon mustard on the toasted bread. I than used sliced gouda cheese and topped with sliced pears, added carmelized onions on top as well as gorgonzola cheese and chopped walnuts.Than put in toaster oven at 350 until cheese melted. Yummy! Thanks Brian

FABULOUS! Made it on a rectangular piece of stoneware - cut it into squares, served it at a cocktail party - it was a hit - everyone wanted the recipe. I added carmelized onions and used pecans instead of walnuts.

I served this pizza at a wine and cheese party I had. It was gone in a matter of minutes, and people even called the next day to tell me how much they loved it! I might suggest cooking the dough a bit before adding the toppings because mine was undercooked at first.

Very yummy! I would add more pears (or make sure they are ripe) and not as many nuts. Overall very good, especially with a light white wine!

I doubled the recipe and served this at a wine tasting party- instant hit! I couldn't find gorgonzola in my area, so I replaced it with a Bresse blue cheese, and it still worked quite well. Our guests LOVED this and went through it in no time!

Loved this - quick easy and tasted gourmet - I left off the chives, not big on them, and it was just great.

I used two personal sized pre-made pizza crusts and it worked well. I was sure to make the slices of pear very thin and I think that contributed to the success of the pizzas.

I served this recipe at my house party and it only took 15 minutes from start to finish! I peeled the pears (I made two pizzas), and in the future, I will cut up the pears into little cubes b/c the larger slices kept falling off the pizza when I cut it into appetizer sizes. Everyone LOVED it and they all complimented me on being such a great gourmet chef (by the way, I don't normally cook)!! GREAT, EASY recipe!

This was fabulous. I used to serve pears, gorganzola and walnuts, but it was very messy. This is great because it stays together. It's also delicious with the melted cheese. I made two pies and they were eaten immediately.

I found this to be a little disappointing, but I cannot put my finger on why. I made this for a party and no one raved about it and I had more than half left over. I thought it was just okay...not great. Probably would not make again.

This pizza is a quick and delicious meal!!! I added garlic and brushed the pizza dough with olive oil. I think it would also be great with carmelized onions too!

How different! The flavors were fresh and unexpected, nice combination. I used presliced sandwich cheese (easier), peeled the pears before slicing, and used green onions in place of chives. And I'm not a fan or nuts, so just left those off. This was fast, easy, and SO good! Thanks Brian!

Brought this to a Christmas party and everyone loved it! I omitted the walnuts and used blue cheese and mozarella cheese because I didn't have any provolone. Still turned out great!

This is an AMAZING recipie! It is so easy and very delicious! Here are a few alterations I suggest making however. Stretch the pizza dough to fit a large cookie sheet. Double the amount of provolone cheese because you will need extra to cover the stretched pizza dough. You will also need to double the amount of pears, walnuts and gorgonzola. Stretching the dough makes the crust not as thick and really improves the presentation of the pizza (as well as the taste). Enjoy!
