Imagine a pizza that’s both a sweet treat and a savory sensation, perfect for brunch, a light lunch, or an elegant appetizer. This vibrant flatbread combines the creamy richness of fresh ricotta cheese with the burst of juicy blackberries, all atop a crispy crust. A drizzle of honey and a scattering of fresh basil elevate this simple dish into an unforgettable culinary experience, proving that pizza doesn’t always have to be traditional to be utterly delicious. It’s surprisingly easy to make and visually stunning, promising a delightful flavor adventure in every bite.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (10-12 oz) pre-made pizza dough ball or flatbread crust
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 2 tablespoons honey (plus more for drizzling)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest (from 1/2 lemon)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced or torn

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat. Otherwise, lightly flour a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Gently stretch or roll out your pizza dough on the prepared baking surface to your desired thickness (typically a 10-12 inch circle or rectangle). Brush the edges lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 tablespoon of honey, sea salt, black pepper, and fresh lemon zest. Mix until just combined and creamy.
  4. Carefully spread the seasoned ricotta mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust. Arrange the fresh blackberries artfully over the ricotta.
  5. Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the ricotta is slightly set and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-browning.
  6. Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. Drizzle generously with additional honey and scatter the fresh basil leaves over the top. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving immediately.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, a sprinkle of toasted slivered almonds or chopped pistachios would add a delightful crunch. This pizza is fantastic served warm, but also holds up well at room temperature, making it a perfect potluck dish or elegant appetizer. Feel free to experiment with other seasonal berries like raspberries or sliced figs when blackberries are not in season. Ensure your ricotta is well-drained for the best texture.
