Description
This savory, tangy, and crispy pizza is a total flavor bomb. Creamy goat cheese, smoky bacon, melty mozzarella, and sweet, slow-cooked leeks make every bite unforgettable. Add a fresh pop of lemon and herbs to finish—it’s fall pizza perfection.
Ingredients
For the Pizza:
2 pounds pizza dough
2 small logs goat cheese
2 large balls fresh mozzarella, torn into pieces
8–12 slices bacon, cooked until crisp
1 lemon, zested
Red pepper flakes, to taste
Garnish: sliced scallions, red pepper flakes, fresh basil leaves
For the Leek Confit:
6–8 leeks, trimmed, cleaned, and thinly sliced
8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
½ cup olive oil
4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
Make the Leek Confit: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over low. Add leeks, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook slowly for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.
Roll out pizza dough into two 10–12 inch rounds.
Top each crust with mozzarella, spoonfuls of goat cheese, bacon, and a generous layer of leek confit.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
Finish with lemon zest, scallions, red pepper flakes, and fresh basil.
