It is spring, right?
Because looking out my window now you’d never guess it.
Tuesday was bright, sunny and amazing. Yesterday and today? Not amazing. Just cold and snowy. Eight inches expected by the end of the morning then a little break this afternoon and more tonight and tomorrow. Ahh, the joys of living in a place where it snows till June. And I know I say this pretty much every year come this time, but someone please send me the sun, or better yet a plane ticket to Florida (or anywhere sunny and warm). The worst part is that it’s not gonna stop. Those spring flowers that you people who live below nine thousand feet get? Yeah, we barely get those even in the summer, let alone spring. Which is a total bummer because I love flowers.
Since spring weather is nowhere to be found, I made pizza. Extra (extra) cheesy pizza.
It’s the only way to cope with snow in spring if you ask me. Ok, there are a few ways, but for today we’re just gonna focus on the pizza.
I had some help with this pizza concept from a friend of my moms. This time, not Mrs. Mooney, but Mrs. Kevesdy. Turns out my mom has friends who love to cook, which is interesting since she is really not much of a cook herself…
Also, is it weird that I text with my mom’s friends? Kind of thinking it is, but I spent a decent amount of time with them when we lived in Ohio. Plus, they make GOOD food and I always need ideas. Like always.
This white pizza is heavily inspired by one that Mrs. Kevesdy told me about. Only hers is probably a little less cheese loaded than mine and I added the asparagus because lately, I am putting it with, on, and in, pretty much everything. It is just so good right now.
It’s kind of like the saying, “if you’ve got it, flaunt it”, but instead we’re talking about asparagus, and right now its got it going on, so I am cookin it.
Ok, that was weird, but you know what I mean.
But back to the cheese, because pizza is all about the cheese (which is why I could not do a vegan diet). This little round piece of bread has four cheeses going on. Yup, four! You just can’t do a white + veggie loaded pizza without a lot of cheese. It wouldn’t be right.
I threw on some parmesan (classic), mozzarella (so melty), burrata (the best) and feta (addicting). FYI, it’s the perfect combo.
So what’s the spring part to this pizza?
Um, hello? I put a salad on a pizza and it’s so good.
Honestly, I have wanted to try fresh greens on a pizza for forever, so it just seemed like a good time.
All I did was toss some fresh arugula with some sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, feta cheese and a little drizzle of oil + balsamic. It’s the perfect topper to a cheesy pizza and if you are doubting me on that? Don’t.
No really, don’t
Also, there’s balsamic drizzle and if that + all these greens doesn’t scream spring than I do not know what does.
Of course you could always add some ice cream or meringue for dessert. Then it would definitely be a complete spring meal.

I have been wanting to try burrata but didn’t really know what to do with it — this is amazing. What gorgeous pictures! And all the flavors! I have never really liked sun-dried tomatoes, but I know they are good on this. Can you taste a picture? If you can, I know you have a hit here. I can’t wait to try this.
Oh you have to Burrata!!Thanks Terry!
THIS post is why I found you (pinterest). I just love your blog, your writing style, and the pictures you take. You can see the labor of love that is going into this all. I am looking through all of your posts now and I am trying to decide if you’re suddenly my favorite food blogger. I have a few select I follow closely and you are now in that rotation. I can’t believe I haven’t found you before but now that I have I know I am going to have one happy and well fed hubby.
Aww!! This is awesome! Thank you so much! I hope you love everything you try!! 🙂
STOP IT. You read my mind with this pizza .perfect spring weather (when is spring coming officially?!?!) food. friday night is pizza night at my house, sooooo, i already know what we are making 🙂
Thanks Katie!! Hope you love these!
OMG this is mouthwateringly good looking just from the photos. So getting pinned onto my pizza board for later!
Thanks so much, Katie!!
Teighan!!!I am eating this right now and it is soooo good!! I wasn’t sure how to make the balsamic drizzle so I made it kind of like balsamic reduction so it is a bit sweet and it is the perfect touch! I made half with mozzarella cheese and the other half with just goat cheese and they are both delicious! Thanks for the recipe!
So sorry about the drizzle, I just fixed the recipe.
I am so excited you love this and the goat cheese sounds awesome!
Asparagus is one of my favorite things to put on pizza! Besides all the cheese, that is. This looks so yum!
Mine too! It’s so good!
To make balsamic drizzle do you just mix with brown sugar or do you have to heat and make a reduction?
Oops, sorry! I just fixed the recipe to actually tell you how to make it!
Hope you love this!
Thanks, I’m sure I will… You haven’t let me down yet!
That is one beeeeeautiful pizza. Ohmygod. I’m going to day dream about this all day.
Thanks Sarah!
This is pizza perfection, Tieghan! Love the burrata and balsamic!

This is freaking genius!! I love the drizzle…and the arugula…and the SPRING-NESS! So awesome.
Thanks so much!
Wow this literally made me drool. I have to try this!
Thank you!
This looks phenomenal! Burratta might be one of my favorite things on the planet…nope, that was not an exaggeration; I love it that much. What a great combination of flavors!
Thanks so much, Rachael!!
Goodness gracious. First off, this pizza is gorgeous. That balsamic drizzle is so pretty! Secondly, the cheese – YES. I could never be true to a vegan diet because of cheese either!
Thanks Amanda!
That is one fancy and delicious-looking pizza! It really puts to shame the pizza I just had for lunch…
Thank you!
Ummm yes please- I need more buratta in my life!
You do!! 🙂
Thanks Sophia!
