It’s a summer pizza kind of Thursday! YES.
Do you guys ever have weeks where all you really want to make is pizza? I feel like I’ve been making at least a pizza a week since June, and I cannot lie, it’s been amazing. I have done so many yummy combos, but today’s Peach Burrata Pizza with Honey Balsamic has got to be one of my favorites of the summer.
I mean, peaches + burrata + honey balsamic?!? Yes, please!
So you guys! Serious talk.
I think that I need to go to Italy, and while there, I need to eat all the pizza, pasta and burrata I can get my hands on because I’ve been obsessed with them lately! Like I cannot get enough, it’s all I want to cook, eat and photograph. Have you noticed? Plus, this time next week I will hopefully be winding down from a big week of video shoots. I should also be off cookbook duty, at least for a little while (turning first draft of manuscript in on Sunday!). This means I can maybe, just maybe, have a day to like chill the heck out.
What do you think? On my chill day should I plan a trip to Italy? Yeah, I’m thinking that’s a little ambitious for me right now. I should probably just get a head start on planning Asher’s Birthday trip to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, but Italy soonish! Maybe I can get my Nonnie to go with me next summer or something. Who knows, but until then I’ll just keep making pizzas with all the burrata I can find.
OH, but I gotta know, any of you guys that have traveled to Italy, where should I go? What should I EAT? Please tell me, I am so curious!!
OK, but let’s chat about this here pizza.
It’s kind of perfection in my eyes, seeing as it literally has all of my very favorites. I’m talking, basil, peaches, blue cheese, burrata cheese, salami and balsamic. Yum and YUM!
Here’s what you need to know about this pizza.
…it is super easy and fast to make. Pizza dinner in under thirty minutes. Score!
…while I love blue cheese, and think it pairs so incredibly well with peaches, I do fully understand that not everyone is into it. If this is the case for you, you can use goat cheese, or just add a little extra burrata to your pizza.
…I used fresh, ripe peaches, but any stone fruit would be amazing… nectarines, cherries, plums or maybe even a combo! 🙂
…for my meat, I went with salami. I adore it paired with the peaches and burrata. You could also use prosciutto or simply omit the meat to make the pizza vegetarian.
As you can see, it’s a very easy pizza to adapt…but I gotta say, I love this pizza just the way I am telling you to make it. Be a little adventurous, give blue cheese another try, load on the yummy salami, and then even more burrata, and let’s all eat pizza!!
I mean, OK if you insist.

Pizza Thursday for the win! ?
I flipping love this pizza! However I keep forgetting to get Salami because it’s not listed in the ingredients. Is there any chance you can update the ingredients so I don’t have to rely on my subpar memory?
Hi Ian,
Happy Sunday!!🍋☀️ I appreciate you trying this recipe out and your comment, so glad to hear it was a winner! Sorry about that! Yes, I can add it:) xT
I made this using a mint pesto and mint in place of the basil-as that’s what I had on hand-
Hey Shelley,
Fantastic! Thanks so much for making this recipe, I am so glad it was enjoyed! Have a great weekend☀️ xTieghan
This pizza is amazing!! However I do not have access to peaches…can I substitute strawberry’s??
Hey Cindy,
I am delighted that this recipe was enjoyed, thanks so much for giving it a go! Sure, strawberries might be fun here. xxTieghan
This is one of our FAVORITES – so so good!!
Love to hear that! Thank you Haleigh! xTieghan
Hi Tieghan

Thanks
Jennifer
Hey Jennifer,
Honestly any other cheese that you love will work. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Salami is not listed in the ingredients???
Hey Rebecca,
Sorry for the confusion, if you like you can add a few pieces of salami to the pizza. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Hi Tieghan! This looks amazing for my fresh Palisade peaches! Maybe a dumb question but can I ask what to use for Italian micro greens? Thanks for your help and delicious recipes!
Hey Lauren,
You could use other greens that you enjoy like arugula. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Hi there, I love your recipes. I noticed an omission in this one, in the ingredients, as I’m making it right now. Salami is mentioned in the instructions but not in the ingredients list. I’m going to add prosciutto now but you might want to add whatever meat you recommend to the ingredients. Thanks!
Thank you so much Paula!! I am really glad this recipe turned out so amazing for you!! xTieghan
OMG this looks amazing!!!! Cant wait to try!!
Thank you so much! xTieghan
I did that one last weekend and it was amazing. Peaches on a pizza? I really don’t know why I’ve never thought about it before. Now i’ve tried it, it’s definitely a combination to remember! The mix between peaches, pesto, burrata and some Prosciutto (all time favorite for me) is a blast. Everything you like about summer is here: fresh products like microgreens and burrata, great Italian cold cut, sweatness from peaches and Balsamic vinegar well balanced acidity. Topped with a glass of white wine, this pizza is now on top of my favorites list. Thanks again for that one
I am so glad you loved this Manuel! Thank you so much!
Hey lady! I made this recipe last year for the first time and it’s one of my summer favorites now. I’ve been looking forward to peach season just to make this. One of my favorite things about your recipes is how you always use fresh, seasonal ingredients. Walking to the farmer’s market on Saturday mornings with my cat in her stroller is one of my favorite decompression and self care activities. I make my grocery list for the week based on your recipes and get as much as I can from the farmer’s market. I tagged you on insta. Which I already know you saw, because you liked my post 🙂 I know it probably gets tedious going through everyone’s posts and tags. But I really appreciate that you take the time to actually look and like or comment. Now, for a question. My pictures NEVER EVER resemble yours. Haha. Especially!!!!! the pizza recipes. What’s the secret to having it not look like a gooey mess of indistinguishable ingredients? Thank you Tieghan!
I am so glad you are enjoying the in season produce.. going to farmers markets is one of my favorite things to do! I am sure yours look amazing, I just take the photos under natural sunlight! I cant wait to go check out your photo on instagram!
I found out this morning that my little town in the BC interior just had an Italian chef move in and open a cheese shop. I may have cried a few tears this morning when I found out that he is making burrata and I FINALLY HAVE A SOURCE FOR IT, right on my drive home from work, and can now make ALL of your burrata recipes. Excuse me while I take a moment to compose myself, haha!
Ah I am so excited for you!! I hope you love all of these recipes Kate! Please let me know how they turn out!
A great and new dish from the familiar ingredients. Most importantly, you teach very detailed and easy to understand. Thanks a lot. I will cook for my family.
Thank you!!
Very useful info, thanks
Thank you!
