Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (optional, for extra creaminess)
- Olive oil, for brushing
- Fresh arugula or basil, for garnish
- Honey, for drizzling
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Directions
Prepare the Pizza Dough
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, then transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Brush the dough lightly with olive oil to promote a golden, crispy crust.
Add the Toppings
- Arrange the pear slices evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the blue cheese crumbles and shredded mozzarella (if using) on top.
- Season with a touch of freshly cracked black pepper.
Bake the Pizza
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish and Serve
- Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle with honey for a touch of sweetness. Garnish with fresh arugula or basil for added color and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!
