Want to make a dessert pizza that puts your local pizza delivery service to shame? You won’t believe how incredible this peach dessert pizza is!
It’s sweet, light, and so incredibly tasty. We make it on the grill, but you can throw it in the oven too!
Make your dessert pizza with peaches, or try any of your favorite seasonal fruits. It’s a fabulous dessert that is unexpected, and yet full of summertime joy!
It’s peach week in our home, so I updated one of our summer must-have’s with new photos and step-by-step photos and details to prepare your own peach dessert pizza on the grill.
It’s a great grill-to-table dessert and, in our house, we’re lucky when it makes it to the table, even if it’s made just feet away.
Last week I shared my pizza on the grill recipe, but no dinner is complete without dessert, right? That’s where this delish recipe comes in. On the grill or in the oven, peach dessert pizza is sweet and easy.

- Brown sugar

- Remove and serve immediately with icing.
In the Oven

Tips

If you have excess pizza dough, consider making this peach dessert pizza, of course! You can also try biscuit donuts, monkey bread, and even cinnamon rolls.
