About

This is the first dessert pizza I ever toyed around with. I wanted something on the menu that customers couldn’t resist. It had to have chocolate, hazelnuts, bananas, honey, ice cream or gelato, and confectioners’ sugar. I think this is one of the best pizzas I’ve ever created, and it’s fantastically easy to make yourself. Buy the best quality ice cream or gelato you can to top this special dessert.
