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.

Yum yum and more yum! The flavors were intense but wonderful together. Even my 2 year old gobbled it up! So simple but was very impressive. Made this easily after work with such little effort. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! SO happy the pizza was a hit with everyone! 🙂
I enjoy seeing all of your exciting pizza combinations. My wife and I enjoy making pizza and espresso for our friends. Lately I have been sticking to no knead overnight dough. Do you usually make the dough yourself? Thanks.
Hey Rick! Thank you! I do typically make the dough myself. I use a very simple recipe. You can find it here : https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/apple-and-caramelized-onion-pizza-with-pumpkin-seed-pangrattato/ thanks!
I can’t wait to make this! Grilled peaches are the best alone or on anything. A local pizza place makes a Pear, Gorgonzola, honey pizza (dessert) which is heavenly so fruit on a pizza is a nice treat. I just came back from Italy and I can’t wait to return next year–the people, art, architecture, food and ambience is amazing (as well as the limoncello and melloncello).
WOW! First of all, so jealous you were in Italy! Looks amazing!
That pizza sounds so good!!
Thanks Diane!!
