Deliciously Unique! I made this on Garlic Naan instead of pizza dough, added some Basil/Tomato Feta, and (accidentally) omitted the Swiss Cheese, and it still turned out great!

My family and friends love this pizza! I've made it several times, both as written and with adjustments, and it's always yummy and impressive-looking. If you want to save time, use the chopped roasted garlic in a jar, a Boboli-type crust and don't prebake the pears. Prebaking does have the advantage of drying the pears a bit, which can keep the crust from getting soggy. I've used goat's milk mozzarella before, which adds a little more tanginess. You can also make mini-sized pizzas and slice them thinly for an appetizer plate. Thanks for upping the creativity of my supper repetoire, Bostoncook!

I will definitely make this again. My only suggestion is to cut the pears in thin slices, probably skipping the pre-baking of them. Those chunks were definitely too big.

I made this for an office party, and I was very nervous about pear on a pizza. I am new to cooking, and pears with prosciutto seemed beyond strange to me, but I figured I would try it to impress my new coworkers. I made one pizza as a tester, and it didn't last 20 minutes, between me, my boyfriend and his friend. It was excellent! I made two more pizzas to take to work, and everyone could not get enough! I even had to print out this recipe to give to a couple of women who were begging for it.

Very excellent base recipe! Rated 4 stars instead of 5 for unnecessary prep time. I made a couple preparation changes which simplified and cut the time . 1. Whizzed olive oil and raw garlic with stick blender, spread on pizza crust and skipped the pre-baking garlic step . 2. Sliced pears thinly and skipped pre-baking them as well. They were nice and tender nonetheless. Substituted feta cheese for the mozzarella, which gave a great tangy-ness against the sweetness of the pears. My 14 y/o daughter said "this taste's awesome!" and hubby said, "you could open a restaurant with this pizza". Will definitely make again with the above changes. Thanks for the great idea, Bostoncook!

This pizza is soooo good! When first reading the ingredients, I didn't see how Swiss would be the right cheese for this pizza....but it was perfect. Making it again tonight!

Interesting tastes and would make a nice appetizer - I didn't use mozzarella, though, and used Gorgonzola instead as I like a stronger flavor with the pears. I also didn't cook the pears ahead of time as mine were very ripe - I think if I cooked them ahead, they would have been too mushy. I'll definitely make this again.

This pizza was AWESOME. I was invited to a fig, pear, and beet party so this was perfect. The best part was the goat cheese mozz I used instead of cow's milk mozz!!

Delicious. The pear flavor is subtle but adds just enough sweetness to complement the other ingredients nicely. The roasted garlic in the crust is a nice touch. I used a Pillsbury refrigerated crust and did not preheat the baking sheet. Otherwise I followed the recipe as written.

This was really good, I liked the combination of salty and sweet. I thin sliced the pears, and I also raosted the garlic and cooked the pears at the same time in the oven. Will make again.
