A quick and easy dessert pizza combining fresh strawberries, cream cheese, and a crisp pizza crust with a hint of basil and balsamic glaze for a sweet and savory flavor balance.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made pizza dough or 1 batch of homemade pizza dough (about 12 oz / 340 g)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • Fresh basil leaves, torn or finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • Optional: a sprinkle of flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place your pizza stone or baking sheet inside to get hot while you prepare the dough (about 20 minutes).
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pizza dough into a roughly 12-inch circle. Brush the top lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle the sugar evenly over it.
  3. Carefully transfer the dough onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 8–10 minutes until golden and crisp around the edges.
  4. While the crust bakes, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and fluffy.
  5. Once the crust is cooled slightly (about 5 minutes), spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the surface. Arrange the sliced strawberries on top, scatter fresh basil leaves, drizzle balsamic glaze, and sprinkle flaky sea salt if desired.

Notes

Let the crust cool slightly before spreading the cream cheese to prevent melting. Pat strawberries dry if very juicy to avoid soggy crust. Use fresh basil for best flavor. Preheat pizza stone or baking sheet for a crisp crust. Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 2 days and reheated briefly to restore crispness.
