Butternut Squash Pizza with Italian Gorgonzola Cheese

Fall? Pizza with Butternut Squash, Gorgonzola and Marjoram is a true celebration of the new season just around the corner.

Butternut pizza is the best way to enjoy this lovely (by me !!) vegetable

Made from scratch, this pizza with butternut and gorgonzola is a great choice for the weekend!

 

Pizza topped with butternut and accompanied by diced gorgonzola cheese.

So simple and easy and, absolutely delicious.

The key to this homemade pizza is gorgonzola. It bake on top of the squash pizza and it gets so creamy, and it gives the pizza that great flavor. Marjoram adds that sparkle of flavors.

I can absolutely say that it is the pizza of my Autumn dreams.

Preparing the pizza dough from scratch is quite easy, you need a little patience and time.
