After having such success with my very first homemade pizza Friday night, I decided to branch out a little with the second one! The recipe for pizza dough from Linda at Savoring Every Bite makes two pizzas. For the second one, a few nights later, I couldn’t help but remember the orange salad I made the other day. The sweet, flavorful oranges mixed with thinly sliced red onion and salty green olives was so tasty I thought it should be made into a pizza! Who knows, perhaps it will become a classic!
After preparing the dough according to Linda’s recipe, add some shredded mozzarella and pecorino romano cheeses. Peel two large oranges with a sharp knife, leaving no pith. Slice and add to the pizza. Add a generous handful of roughly chopped large green olives and some thinly sliced red onion. I added just a bit more of the pecorino. Bake at 425 degrees for about 18 to 20 minutes. A very different taste for a pizza, but one I think you will enjoy! Ritchey loved it – and so did my sister!

Now this looks really tasty! I may have to try this while oranges are still in season!
Oh do try it and let me know what you think!
I’ve never seen oranges on a pizza, that is so neat! I love trying weird pizzas (that’s a compliment) and will definitely try this!
Weird is a perfectly acceptable word! Let me know what you think when you try it!
You love your fruit. I agree with Joanne, weird but yummy looking.
Yes, I do – and I’m not finished with fruit yet!
It certainly is a different pizza, but one I wouldn’t turn down. 😉
It’s hard to turn down any pizza, isn’t it? We never know if we’ll like something until we try it!
Phyliis, this is awesome! You won’t believe it when you see my upcoming pizza post!! It confirms that we do think alike on foods we make!!
Linda, i can’t wait to see your recipe! But we’ve known this for a long time haven’t we! 😉
So different, at first I thought it was a sweet fruit pizza, but, you’re correct, fruit can be in a savory salad, so why not? I’m glad it turned out! I’m sometimes too nervous to try something new. Way to go!
Thank you, Smidge! I love trying something new – and since Ritchey eats anything we are good to go!
Well, if this doesn’t take the cake … er … pie! I thought the salad was a good idea, so, why wouldn’t a pizza work? I’ll have a piece. No, make it two!
Two slices coming your way special delivery! It was a fun pizza since my sister was here to help! She was amazed at the number of photos I took!
