Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large skillet, cook bacon lardons over medium heat until crispy and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

03

Step

Spread basil pesto evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the pesto base. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Arrange bacon lardons and pear slices artfully atop the mozzarella. Dot with crumbled goat cheese, then top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown, about 9-10 minutes. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving. (2 minutes)

For an extra touch of elegance, drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze over the finished pizza.
If you prefer a smokier flavor, use applewood smoked bacon.
Freshly made pesto will provide the best flavor, but store-bought pesto can be used in a pinch.
Try using a pizza stone for a crispier crust.
Adjust the amount of bacon, pear, and goat cheese to your personal taste preferences.
