Happy first day of October!!
I think it is safe to say that I am pretty into fall. Lucky for us, for every season there are multiple pizzas to accompany it. Pizza is just that kind of food, an all the time, every season, kind of meal. It’s adaptable, and can be topped in more ways than I can count.
Plus, pizza cures all. Like when your mother tells you that she thinks it would be best if she worked as the General Contractor on your new home. Meaning – my mom is now overseeing everything that is going on down at the barn…
Oh yeah, did I forget to tell you guys this?
It’s probably because it freaks the heck out of me and I just do not want to admit it yet. To you, to me, to anyone.
Well, it is true, my amazing, and apparently super multi talented, mother became the general contractor a few weeks ago. At first I pretty much freaked because I mean, she knows not a thing about how to do a remodel like this or how to build a thing. But now I am ok with it. She works way harder than anyone (especially our previous contractor), so I have to trust that she’ll get it done on time. Although, I did just hear that something got pushed back a week.
Oh no. I need more pizza. This barn is going to drive me insane. Who would have thought that remodeling a small barn to be a home would be such a process. Not me. The whole Thanksgiving deadline that is pretty important that we meet? Yeah, well that has now become the first week of December and to be totally honest that will SO be pushing it. Send help. No literally, if you know good workers please send them because they seem to be a little hard to come by up in my mountain town. I think everybody is just too excited about the snow or something.
Anyway, my point is that pizza makes all the stress better. Especially when it’s a fall pizza. I think fall pizzas may just be my favorite. Actually, butternut squash is my favorite and I think that you will quickly realize this over the coming weeks. So many squash recipes flying through my head.
This pizza is all things fall, but not in an overpowering way, where you are like, “eew, this just tastes like a fall candle… and not a good one”. I have actually had that response once, not fun.
Over the years, I have made a lot of fall inspired pizzas and they all seem to have a sweet and spicy theme to them. I’m pretty sure it is because my family loves spicy… and I love the combos of sweet and spicy… plus heavy on the cheesy!
That is this Butternut Squash Pizza. It’s got a spicy oil based sauce, savory cider caramelized onions, super thin slices of apple for sweetness, tons of sharp cheddar, blue cheese, roasted butternut and bacon (of course feel free to lose the bacon and keep this a vegetarian pizza if needed) to tie it all together. What could you not like about these flavors? So flippin delicious.
Really though, look at all that gooey, melty cheese.
Maybe it is the cheese that cures all actually? Not sure, but whatever, it’s good stuff. And on a Wednesday when you just need a way to get over that hump!

Thank you!
wow i have never done this
I hope you make it!
comforting is the perfect word to describe how I’m feeling about this pizza. It looks incredible! Also, I am super jealous of how gorgeous your pizza crust is! Seriously! What is your secret?!
Thank you so much! I am so glad you like this pizza!
This pizza was fabulous! I left out the chipotle for the kids and the blue cheese because I’m the only one in the family who appreciates it, but it was still wonderful. A little time consuming with all the different components, so I probably will not make it often. My husband has requested it for his birthday dinner because he liked it so much.
That is amazing! Thank you Amanda!
This started with 10.7.4 and it’s driving me mad. I loathe those red squiggles while I’m typing, and they’re rarely correct, anyway. Before, it was just a matter of setting the preference once with each application. Now, it I’m not allowed for it to be my “preference” at all.
Do you think this could be prepped and then frozen?
Sure! Just thaw overnight in the fridge. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Happy Thanksgiving! 🙂
I like pizza, your pizza is great. Thank for sharing, I have you bookmarked to see new information on your blog.
Thank you! I am so happy you love the pizza!
Usually I don’t read post on blogs, but I wish to say that this write-up very forced me to take a look at and do it!
Your writing taste has been amazed me. Thank you, very nice article.
Thank you so much!
This looks fantastic. It is on my “must try” list. Thanks!
Thanks hope you love it!
While the prep time on this recipe says 15 minutes, unless you’ve got all of the ingredients out, chopped, and ready to go, it takes quite a bit longer than that. I made the pizza dough and then worked on the butternut squash, the bacon and onions, and the sauce. In total, I think I spent slightly over 3 hours in the kitchen working on this! It was a little labor intensive but I’m glad I doubled the recipe because it was so yummy and I look forward to eating leftovers tomorrow! Also, I wanted to note that the instructions do not state when to put the bacon. I forgot about it so I put it on top of my pizza before it went into the oven but I think that and the apples should probably go underneath the cheese so they won’t burn! I’d totally make this again though–it was scrumptious 🙂
I just had to follow up. I made the comment about this recipe. Then, new to your blog, saw at the top The Barn. WOW, I got a cup of tea and started from the beginning and am in aw of your hard work! Your amazing parents/family. Your barn home is beyond beautiful and I’m so happy for you.
Awe, wow! Thank you so much!
Hope you had a Great Christmas!
This was fantastic! I knew it would be. The only thing missing was the fried sage leaves! My store didn’t have them, so I sprinkled some powdered over the squash. Just a little. I cooked mine on a pizza stone. I’m telling you, that pizza crust is the best I have ever found! Can’t say enough about this recipe! Thank you! Love your blog, can’t wait to try other recipes.
This is amazing. Great recipe. As a pizza and bacon lover, I so want to try this for myself. Thank you tons for sharing this.
Thanks so much! 🙂
Love your creativity in taking familiar fall flavors and combining them in new and different ways. We have homemade pizza night every Friday and can’t wait to try this one!
THANK YOU! I hope you love the pizza and happy Friday!
Does anyone have any ideas on substituting almond or coconut flour? Im fairly new to cooking, so I don’t know if this has already been discussed. Your recipe looks delicious and I always try to convert other recipes to be Paleo friendly.
HI! I have never tried that, but if you have had success before I would give it a try. Let me know how it goes, hope you love the pizza! 🙂
