Pear and Gorgonzola Pizza!



I have always loved the Pear and Gorganzola pizza at California Pizza Kitchen. I am usually such a picky eater and this seemed a little off from my norm but I decided since I love it so much I would make it at home. It turned out AMAZINGLY good! Even though I couldn't get the husband to eat it. He made his own "Man Pizza" with red sauce and meats.

Recipe
* 1 (16 ounce) package refrigerated pizza crust dough
* 4 ounces sliced provolone cheese
* 1 Bosc pear, thinly sliced
* 2 ounces chopped walnuts
* 2 1/2 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2. Place pizza crust dough on a medium baking sheet. Layer with Provolone cheese. Top cheese with Bosc pear slices. Sprinkle with walnuts and Gorgonzola cheese.
3. Bake in the preheated oven 8 to 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and crust is lightly browned. Remove from heat. Top with chives and slice to serve.
