Helllllllllooooooo, summer!
(tackle hugs summer)
I am a big hugger. If you’ve met in real life you know this. I try not to make it awkward, but I like to invade your space for 2.2 seconds because hugs are the best.
You guys, I can’t tell you how flipping excited I am that summer is officially here! Of course, I say that and when it’s 18,000 degrees in the middle of August, I might change my mind. But until those super sweaty days are in full swing, I am going to embrace these longer and warmer days.
Besides the weather and ability to wear flip-flops 24/7, I am really excited about the bountiful produce that is going to be filling up my counter space and fridge. I recently received a mega crate of pears from Taylor’s Gold pears. Aren’t they gorgeous?
Taylor’s Gold pears are grown in New Zealand and are in season between April and July. Taylor’s Gold pears are related to the Comice pear and have a juicy sweet flesh, and golden brown exterior. So, what’a girl to do with all these pears? Make pizza, of course!
Dudes or Dudettes, if you had to eat only one kind of pizza for the rest of your life, this is your pizza. Caramelizing the pears, melting Gorgonzola and Mozzarella on top of buttery Naan. GET. OUT.OF. TOWN. It’s an 11/10 situation.
BUT! The epic goodness doesn’t stop there. Oh, no. Eight other food bloggers and I are hosting a fun giveaway, too!
Here are the details:

White Chicken Naan Pizza with Sauteed Pears & Gorgonzola
Ingredients:
4 pieces Whole Wheat Naan
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb ground chicken sausage
2 large Taylor Gold Pears, sliced thinly
1 cup Gorgonzola
1 cup Mozzarella
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole milk
pinch of nutmeg
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Spray two baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray. Place two pieces of Naan on each baking sheet. Preheat a medium skillet to medium-high heat, add the olive oil and chicken sausage. Saute chicken sausage until cooked through. Using a slotted spoon, remove chicken sausage and place in a bowl. Set aside. In the same skillet preheated to medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the pears and saute until golden brown. Turn off heat and set skillet aside.
In a medium saucepan preheated to medium heat, melt three tablespoons of butter. Add the flour and whisk until the flour is cooked out and you have roux. Gradually add the milk and a pinch of nutmeg. Whisk until the sauce has thickened about five minutes. Stir in a little s&p too.
To make the pizzas, spread about 1/4 cup of the white sauce onto each piece of Naan. Then top with chicken sausage, sauteed pears, 1/4 cup Gorgonzola, 1/4 cup mozzarella. Repeat process for remaining three pieces. Bake pizzas for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately!
Conclude your dining experience with the exquisite blend of White Chicken Naan Pizza, featuring sautéed pears & Gorgonzola. Elevate your pizza indulgence with this harmonious and delectable fusion.

The flavours in this pizza sound totally epic. Love that combo of punchy cheese and pear.
Ohmigerd, that pizza looks crazy good!
I sure hope you’ll be attending IFBC this year, because I’m a proud invader of personal space, too, and you deserve a huge hug for this act of pizza genius! 🙂

Pears + gorgonzola are the best! Love what’s going on in this pizza. Also, I have got to get myself on the naan pizza wagon, stat!
Love love love that it is finally summer. Bring on the pool and drinks with umbrellas.
This pizza is absolutely stunning and such a great combo.
I have been looking forward to seeing your recipe ever since I saw that you planned on making this pizza. Sausage-pears-cheese. This is the holy trinity of pizza toppings, as far as I’m concerned. Even when it’s 18,000 degrees!

Also, I can’t wait to hug you some day. I realize that sounds *a little* creepy, but it’s true.
Ya for summer and the flavor of this pizza!! So my kind of pizza!
This looks so insanely delicious!!!! Ironically, pears are Jacob’s favorite fruit at the moment!! Maybe we can give him a little slice. 😉
Yes to summer here too! These pears are new to me. I’m going to have to find some since that’s Cole’s favorite fruit.
This sounds incredible! I love pears with Gorgonzola and on pizza-yes, please! These pears- I have to get my hands on some.
Love the savory + sweet action you have going on here, plus, pizza on naan??? So good!!! Fabulous photos!
I love making pork chops with a pear cream sauce – it’s one of the most decadent things I’ve ever eaten!
I would also like to try Pear Caramelized Onion and Brie Bites – that sounds really good too! And so does the pizza….pears are just awesome 🙂

Oh wow! Lauren, this pizza sounds aaammmmaaaazzzziiiinnnnggg! I’ve never thought of pear on pizza before but with the gorg, of course! So good. Beautiful pictures too, as always. You rock, my friend :).
I would love to try all of these recipes, but Grilled Pears Filled with Caramel and Chocolate by Cook the Story sounds amazing!! Chocolate, caramel, and pears?! Is there anything better?!
I would totally use pears on a pizza. I’m not a huge fan of sweets (even fruit some of the time), so this looks like a great savory option!
Those pears. That gorgonzola. That pizza. My face. !!
I’m pretty psyched for summer too and I bet after all the snow you got over the winter, you Coloradoians (Coloradians?) are soaking up the warmth. Love this pizza like a love song, lady!
I’ve been craving pizza like none other!!! This would totally satisfy my cravings plus with a little sweetness action to it!! Beautiful, girl!
I’m a huge fan of pizza so I can’t wait to try pizza + pears!
I freaking love this pizza!! So many delicious ingredients all piled on top of a pizza, which is one of my all time favorite foods! I live in the desert, so I’m not going to give summer quite as big of a hug as you did, but I am happy to be wearing tank tops and getting my tan on again 🙂
The Pear caramelized onion and brie bites! Those sounds amazing.
pears + gorgonzola = so much YES. love this sweet, savory, and cheesy combination :_

This pizza looks amazing! I will definitely have to try it out!
I just said this on Brandy’s post…but pears and Gorgonzola together just can’t be beat. I love that you put that combo on pizza!
Pear and gorgonzola is one of my favorite combinations! And that pizza looks divine.
Oh, this pizza. Those flavors. GIMMEDAT.
I’ve always wanted to meet you, but now that I know there’s a bear hug involved, I’m READY!!! 🙂

One of my favorite pizza places has a pear and gorgonzola salad that my family loves- I can’t wait to marry the two in this recipe.
Oh my gosh. This would totally make my night. Such a fun, flavor bursting pizza.
I love pear + gorgonzola! I might just have to make this for lunch today. If we ever get to meet, I’m totally expecting a big, awkward hug now, just so you know.
I would love to try pizza with pears on top. Sounds so good!
They are all exciting – I’d love to make the Spicy Grilled Pear Ketchup!
This naan pear recipe, I need to try it!
This is the kind of pizza we order when we go out! Delicious! Pinning this bad boy for later!
This pizza is da bomb.
The pizza looks fabulous, would love to try it.
I’m big on hugging also. It’s my favorite form of affection! So between the two of us, there would be personal space invasion for AT LEAST 5 seconds. But probably more.
I want to invade the space of this pizza! Big time.
I love naan pizzas! I cannot wait to try this recipe. Pears + Blue Cheese is a math equation I can get behind!
That question’s easy – I immediately want to try this pizza recipe!
I live for pineapples on a pizza but now pears are a must try!
I’m all about pizza so it would have to be your recipe!
