If you’ve never tried pizza with gorgonzola before, it’s time for you to meet one of the best pizza toppings ever! The crispy pizza crust, the indulgently creamy gorgonzola, and the toasty walnuts are crazy delicious!

The recipe uses my easy that you can make in 1 bowl, but you can use your fav dough if you wish. Just make it!:)

Pizza has been my fav comfort food as long as I can remember. I make pizza with any vegetables and cheese, from this with feta to this or . Honestly, I love (ehm… obsessed) with all my pizza recipes!

But when I make this pizza with gorgonzola, it blows me away. It’s AMAZING! The crispy crust, the rich blue cheese, and the golden walnuts are a marriage made in heaven. And I’m not exaggerating, am I?!

First of all, have you ever tasted gorgonzola? The most famous Italian blue cheese made from cow’s milk is soft and slightly crumbly. It’s packed with an intense aroma without being as sharp or peppery as many blue cheeses can be.

Gorgonzola is just right: it has a complex rounded flavor and a thick creamy consistency that feels so decadent.

If you look at your local store, you might find the more intense gorgonzola piccante (90 days aged), and the gorgonzola dolce (60 days aged) which has a milder sweet flavor and it’s an excellent value for money. They both are great for this recipe.

Friends, go and buy all the ingredients to make this real treat. Once you try this recipe, you won’t order takeaway pizza again!

Recipe notes & tips

Gorgonzola pizza ingredients

Homemade pizza dough: as usual I used my , a real life changer! It’s a great recipe easy to make in one bowl and makes a delicious crispy crust. Have a look at the video tutorial, it’s a no brainer!

Cheese: the combination of gorgonzola cheese and mozzarella cheese works beautifully: gorgonzola brings its unique flavor, while the melted mozzarella makes the topping rich and creamier. Yes, you want to use both. And if you have leftover gorgonzola, check out this terrific !

Walnuts: they get golden brown and toasted in the oven and their nutty flavor and crispiness go wonderfully with gorgonzola. Have I already mentioned that this match has been made in heaven? Sadly in this recipe – just in case you’re wondering – almonds can’t replace that awesomeness.

Salt & pepper: sprinkle some salt on the top and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.

Tips for the best gorgonzola pizza!

You want your pizza delicious and perfectly crispy, right? Me too. All you have to do is follow a few simple rules:

• NO rolling pin! It pushes out gas and bubbles. Use your fingers to stretch the pizza dough and try to keep all those nice gas bubbles that make your pizza crust light and airy. Rolling pin is for pastries, not for pizzas!;)
• Place the rack in the lowest position close to the heating element. This is the sweet spot in my oven and makes the bottom golden and crispy. However, feel free to use the position that works best for your oven.
• Preheat the oven and make sure it’s hot. It’s crucial to give a burst of initial heat!
• Bake your pizza on a hot  or . Alternatively, you can use a  (see my tips in the recipe card!). When you preheat your oven, make sure the pizza stone is inside so it’s already hot and ready for your pizza. This avoid soggy bottom and makes the crust crispier.
• Use and a or the back of a baking sheet to transfer your pizza to the hot stone. This helps, especially if you use a sticky high-hydration dough like my easy no-knead dough.

Fancy some add-ins?

Although this pizza with gorgonzola is delicious as it is, you might love adding some extras, but what goes well with gorgonzola cheese?

Classic combinations: I love adding finely sliced red onion before baking, the contrast is amazing if you love big flavors.

Other popular combos are gorgonzola paired with caramelised onions cooked with a touch of balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. But if you feel more adventurous, try to add some sliced pear before baking; it might sound unusual, but it the contrast between sweet and savory is delicious!

Greens: you prefer leafy vegetables instead, wilted spinach or some fresh arugula added at the end work very well.

Cheese: a generous handful of grated parmesan cheese along with mozzarella is great. And if you add some diced Italian Fontina to the mix, you make a proper Italian 4 Formaggi (4 Cheese pizza). Yes, cheese makes everything better!
