This pizza was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a big fan of gorgonzola, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The gorgonzola wasn't overpowering and it paired really well with the pears and walnuts. The pesto was also very flavorful. I'll definitely be maki

Overall, I thought this pizza was pretty good. The crust was crispy and the toppings were flavorful. However, I would have liked a bit more cheese and sauce. Next time, I'll add a bit more of both.

This pizza was a disaster! The crust was burnt, the cheese was overcooked, and the toppings were all mushy. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I'm definitely not making this recipe again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pizza didn't turn out as good as the picture. The crust was too dry and the toppings were too sparse. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This pizza was just okay. The crust was a bit too thick for my taste, and the toppings were a bit bland. I think I'll stick to my regular pizza recipe next time.

I made this pizza for a party and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved the unique flavor combination. I especially liked the contrast between the sweet pears and the salty gorgonzola. Will definitely be making this again.

I'm always looking for new pizza recipes, and this one definitely didn't disappoint. The ciabatta bread held up well under the toppings, and the gorgonzola and pears were a great combination. I added a bit of arugula on top, and it was perfect!
