This pizza is one of my favorite topping combinations. I absolutely love ricotta on a thin-crust pizza. It’s one of my favorite things to get. This pizza is sauced with nothing more than olive oil and a blackberry smash, topped with mozzarella and parmesan, and dotted with fresh blackberries and fresh basil. It’s a refreshing, gourmet twist on pizza that’s easy to love.
For more interesting pizza flavor combinations, try our cilantro-lime chicken pizza or our jalapeno scalloped potato pizza. Both are as fantastic as this one!
Why You’ll Love This Pizza
- Totally unique and different for a pizza flavor combination that will have you reimagining the endless possibilities of pizza!
- This pizza is easy to put together. We’re all for gourmet, but who said gourmet needs to be complicated?
When you are in my line of work people are always asking you what your favorite thing to eat is, or your favorite thing to make, or what your signature dish is. That’s such a hard question to answer because I’m constantly making and perfecting new dishes. But if you were going to force an answer from me, well, I love pizza. It sounds lame and even a bit childish, but if I was stuck only eating one thing for the rest of my life I would want it to be pizza. There are so many possibilities of topping combinations that I could eat pizza every day for every meal and not eat the same combination again for months. That’s only because my imagination is limited and would eventually reach an end.
Crust Options
This recipe makes one 14 to 16-inch pizza and calls for an unbaked crust. You can purchase premade pizza crusts and premade dough at the store which will work great in this recipe. If you prefer homemade, we recommend our Easy Homemade Pizza Dough, or our Italian Style Pizza Dough.
Make it Spicy
Turn up the heat and add top with some crushed red pepper flakes, or the trendy elevated option of drizzling your pizza with hot honey. We can’t get enough of that hot honey!
Storage and Reheating Instructions
Store any leftover slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to dive back in (because let’s face it, you will be), preheat your oven to 375 degrees and bake for about 10 minutes. The goal is to revive that crispy crust while ensuring the toppings are heated through. Microwaving is quick but might leave you with a slightly softer crust.

Excellent and easy recipe. Enjoyed by all.
So good! I made this for brunch today, but used blueberries since that is what I had. I also used Naan bread because I had that, too. Drizzled some balsamic glaze on top. Definitely will make this again!
We made this last night for dinner and it came out amazing. We didn’t alter the recipe since it peeked our interest and taste buds and boy it did not disappoint. This will be on our menu for the summer. We think we will try it on cauliflower crust next time to give it a different spin
There were some confused faces when this hit the table, but it was delicious! My son was not crazy about the ricotta, but next time I can easily leave a section of the pie free of ricotta. I am anxious to try this again with some of the variations you suggested, and I think this would be great for a brunch, or cut into smaller squares as an appetizer.
Just tried this tonight. It turned out great and was delicious. I paired with a blueberry Kale basil salad topped with toasted almonds and blueberry basil dressing and a blackberry sweet wine which paired great with thus. Only took like 15 min to prep the pizzas and 10 min to cook. I used a preheated pizza stone for one pizza and a non-preheated pizza pan for the other and both turned out good, just the pan was a little less crispy.
I don’t have a pizza stone. Can I do this on a baking sheet?
Of course! You won’t get as crispy of a crust, but it’ll work!
I used cast iron skillets. They worked wonderfully. We also drizzled honey on top.
Yummmmmmm. Next time I will add caramelized onions.
Looks beautiful and delicious….what could be better after dinner pizza than dessert pizza! Yummy and healthy!
Just made this it was amazing! My husband and I loved it, definitely a keeper! 😋
