We came, we saw, we pizza’d! Our #pearpizza takeover contest recently came to a close, and based on the sheer amount of entries we received, it seems fair to say that the people have spoken and pear pizza is taking over as the ultimate fruit topping (sorry pineapple). Much of the excitement also came from restaurants all over North America that have embraced the magic of pear pizza. Whether pears are a staple on their menu or pop up as an occasional special, all of these businesses have spread the joy and deliciousness of pear pizza. Check out these creative combos and make sure to stop in to these places the next time you are in their town!
