I wanted to try a new pizza and this one didn’t disappoint. The salty savory bacon complimented the sour plums perfectly and the spicy arugula topping made it a refreshing choice for a summer pizza.
Mmmmmmm, plums.
Inspiration for this pie came from the peach and gorgonzola chicken pizza we usually make. I tried the balsamic glaze but it really didn’t need it. Plums have a much bolder taste than the peaches so they do fine without any kind of dressing help. I hope you enjoy!

This looks fantastic! Love the flavour combination. I’m going to switch the plums to peaches, wonder if it will still tastes good.
Yes, peaches are delicious on pizza!
