Overall, I thought this pizza was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pizza turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

I'm not a big fan of gorgonzola, so I used blue cheese instead. It was still really good.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pears. I always have a few pears lying around, so this is a great way to use them up.

I had some trouble finding ciabatta bread, but I ended up using a French baguette instead. It worked out just fine.

This pizza was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less pears next time.

I'm not a big fan of pears on pizza, but this was actually really good. The gorgonzola and walnut pesto balanced out the sweetness of the pears perfectly.

I love the sweet and savory combination of the pears and the gorgonzola. The walnut pesto added a nice nutty flavor.
