Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough store-bought or homemade

Instructions
- Caramelize the Pears: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and vegan butter over medium heat.

- Assemble the Pizza: Arrange the caramelized pears evenly over the rolled-out dough.
- Sprinkle the crumbled vegan blue cheese over the pears.
- Top with the chopped walnuts.
- Bake the Pizza: Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle with maple syrup.
- Garnish with fresh arugula if desired.
- Slice the pizza and serve hot.
