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.

Don’t forget to pin this post to save it for later! Let’s get started on this fabulous dessert pizza recipe.

Peach Dessert Pizza Ingredients

Pizza dough – Make your own, or purchase it premade like we do! We buy the Trader Joe’s pizza dough, or grab some from your local Spin! Pizza or favorite pizza shop.
All-purpose flour
Vegetable oil
Brown sugar
Cinnamon – Ground cinnamon adds so much flavor
Butter – Salted butter is best here, melted.
Peaches – Fresh, sliced
Milk – (for the frosting) Use whatever you have on hand. We tend to have whole or 2% milk around here.
Vanilla Extract – Learn how to make your own vanilla extract here.
Powdered sugar – Learn how to make powdered sugar here in case you don’t have any on hand!

Variations

Use blueberries, sliced strawberries, raspberries or blackberries – any of your favorite summer fruits
Add chunks of cream cheese along with the peaches as it’s baking for an even more deliciously decadent treat!

How to Make this Dessert Pizza

On the Grill

Roll out the dough and preheat the grill to medium. Brush the dough with vegetable oil and place the oiled side down.
Allow it to cook for 3 minutes, while brushing the top of the crust with oil.
Flip the crust and brush with butter.
Top with cinnamon sugar mixture and peaches. Close lid and allow to cook for 2 minutes or until brown sugar has “melted” and dough is cooked.
Remove and serve immediately with icing.

In the Oven

You can also make it in the oven!{eliminate oil}
Preheat to 425 degrees.
Roll out dough with flour and brush with butter.
Top with brown sugar, cinnamon, and sliced peaches.
Bake 12 minutes or until slightly golden.

Tips

Treat this dessert pizza much as you would a fruit cobbler! Try it with your favorite berries to mix things up.
Store bought pizza dough makes this so easy, but you can take an extra shortcut, too – and buy a pre-baked pizza crust!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you use pizza dough instead of puff pastry?

Pizza dough tends to be more bread-like, and significantly heavier. Puff pastry is light and crispy. However, they are similar in both texture and ingredients – so yes, you can replace one with the other in a pinch!

What desserts can be made with pizza dough?

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.

Serving Suggestions

How to Store

Room Temperature – this dessert pizza can sit out at room temperature for up to two hours.
Refrigerator – Store this dessert pizza in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days. (It won’t be as good as it will right out of the oven, very similar to your restaurant pizza!)
Freezer – Yes, you can freeze your dessert pizza! Flash freeze it while it’s on a baking sheet, and then wrap in an airtight container or with plastic wrap. Freeze for up to three months.
