Savory Blackberry Goat Cheese Pizza. Stay with me here. Trust me.

 I love pizza. It isn’t so much my comfort food but my soulmate in the culinary sense. Delicious dough that’s layered with sauce, kissed with cheese, then finished with whatever toppings you’re in the mood for.

I love playing around with different flavors and textures when it comes to food. Pizza offers that “choose your own adventure” route atop a crust. While I can’t recall having a sweet/savory pizza combo, I knew I wanted to use blackberries. I figured they would pair well with the log of goat cheese I had in my fridge.

The remaining ingredients are quite simple; you have olive oil, mozzarella balls, fragrant basil leaves, savory fig balsamic vinegar and salt & pep. Balsamic is key flavor boost, it is the sauce of joy that enhances the sweet and sharp of the berries and cheese, respectfully.

I do love a good crunch, so I added some prosciutto – which I highly recommend as well. Not only does it crisp up ever so slightly in the oven, but it offers a salty bite. This pizza is a unique fruity and savory slice of happiness. Perhaps it is my favorite pizza that I have made so far.

Recipe was adapted from Cappello’s own Blackberry pizza from their website, and I used their gluten free pizza crusts in this recipe. If you’re adventure drizzle some hot honey (or regular honey) after baking for another flavor bomb.
