This strawberry pizza recipe with sugar cookie crust is the perfect easy summer dessert!
With summer just around the corner, you know our love of all things fresh is kicking into high gear. For us, nothing screams summer more than fresh berries. I would argue that homemade pizza, whether it’s made in your very own wood fired oven in the backyard or even over the grill, has become a North American summer staple as well.
We thought it was high time to combine them to give you the best summer dessert you could ask for – a very berry strawberry pizza recipe!
This delicious strawberry pizza with sugar cookie crust (we made it with other berries as well, but it’s easy to make with purely strawberries), is just the ticket for enjoying with friends and family while congregating on the patio or heading out on a picnic.
The best part about this berry pizza recipe? We actually grow strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and yes, even blackberries, in our own backyard so we often have all these in abundance. The good news for you is that as the weather warms up, they’re easier than ever to find in the supermarkets or the farmer’s market for a good price.
