Ah, Pizza:

There was a shift in plans for my birthday night -- the babysitter was a no-show. Anyway, we did end up seeing "Bright Star" (a beautiful but profoundly sad movie, take lots o' tissues!) and instead of my favorite restaurant, we ate at a nearby "wine bar." Really good wine. My sea scallops were just so-so, but my bestest friend Betsy ordered a Pear and Gorgonzola Stone-Fired Pizza which was oh-so delicious!

I've been looking for a similar recipe, and I think I've found it:

Pear and Gorgonzola Pizza

16 ozs. pizza dough crust

3 comice or bosc pears (sliced and caramelized*)

2 Tablespoons butter

2 1/2 Tablespoon brown sugar

2 large sweet, Vidalia onions (thinly sliced and caramelized**)

2 Tablespoons olive oil

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella

8 oz. tub of Gorgonzola cheese

1/2 cup toasted walnuts, chopped

honey

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

To caramelize pears > melt butter in medium skillet on medium heat. Add pears. Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar. Cook 4-5 minutes until sugar has melted and pears are evenly covered with sugar mixture. Stir frequently. Remove from heat and set aside.

To caramelize onions > heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and generous seasoning of salt and pepper. Toss to coat well, then cover pan. Cook until caramelized, about 30 minutes. Stir frequently. Remove from heat and set aside.

Press pizza dough into greased pizza pan. Prick dough with a fork and brush lightly with olive oil. Mix all three cheeses together in a bowl, leaving some Gorgonzola to sprinkle on top at the end. Sprinkle the cheese on the dough. Next layer the onions, then the pears, and sprinkle the remaining Gorgonzola cheese. Bake for 17-20 minutes. Remove from oven, grind some fresh pepper, scatter with the toasted walnuts and drizzle with honey. Slice into squares or wedges and serve... Ah!
