Think outside the pizza box and beyond the usual tomato sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. These fruit-on-pizza recipes change up the traditional slice, subbing your favorite berries and fruit slices in place of traditional toppings and swapping cream cheese for pizza sauce (though we've got equally delicious savory fruit pizzas in the mix, too). Mix and match these recipe toppings just a bit, and you could eat fruit pizza every meal of the day.

Watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon may not be your usual fruit pizza toppers, but a quick roast on the grill makes them ideal for grilled flatbreads. Spread on a mix of ricotta cheese and honey, and add a few strips of prosciutto for a sweet and savory fruit pizza perfect for fresh summer dinners.

Salty bacon and sweet, crisp apples combine for the ultimate sheet pan fruit pizza. Rather than traditional mozzarella, we opt for crumbles of blue cheese to add a sophisticated tang to every bite. Walnuts and green onion add crunch and freshness to your fruit pizza toppings.
