That has always been a pretty classic combo on cheeseboards. Probably that is why they came up with the idea to put it on pizza. My favorite pizzeria has it on the regular menu too. They make thin slices of halved pears for it, so the pear is not raw after baking.
Had a pizza in Spain yesterday - pear, walnut and gorgonzola
Was absolutely stunning
I used to work at a pizzeria that had fig, pistachio, and arugula dressed with truffle honey. It was very popular.
Okay now THAT is weird. How did they prepare the pear? Big slices or little?

That’s…actually a good point. Maybe not as weird as I thought.
Not that weird, just relatively uncommon. I can recommend it, try one if you can :)
Jazz up a quesadilla by adding a little thin sliced apple or pear. Good ol super market cheddar is an excellent cheese choice.
I love that sweet and salty. Sea salt caramel. Prosciutto fig pizza. Chocolate pretzels.
My favorite kind of pizza is a bacon lettuce tomato, with a mess of mayo to top it off. Chefs kiss*
I’ve had a similar one too! Very good. Non citrus fruit + funky cheese, + nuts is always a great combo.
