3 Cheese Prosciutto Peach Pizza: Fresh pizza dough topped with garlic, fresh thyme, chili flakes, and plenty of melty cheese – mozzarella, creamy gouda, and sweet fontina! Add a layer of thinly sliced peaches and torn prosciutto just before cooking. This pizza has just the right amount of sweet peaches, salty prosciutto, spice, basil, and cheese! Every last bite of this pizza is delicious, and the honey on top adds a special touch. There never seem to be enough slices to go around!
I’ve wanted to share my peach pizza for so many summers, but for some reason or another, I am just now doing so. This is the recipe I come back to every summer. There’s nothing fancy or overly different here, but it’s so delicious. The combination of sweet peaches, savory cheese, and salty prosciutto will always be a summertime favorite.
I can’t remember how this pizza originally came to be. The way I’ve made it over the years changes depending on what I have on hand. Sometimes, I’ll use pepperoni instead of prosciutto, and sometimes, I’ll mix up the cheese. But the peaches and basil are the obvious constants. I love them so much.
This is the perfect summer pizza. I know some of you might find it odd topping pizza with peaches, but the sweet/savory combination shouldn’t be knocked. It really is so good.
These are the details
Step 1: the pizza dough
I do make my own dough, but feel free to pick up your favorite store-bought dough. I love the options from Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods.
If you want to make your own dough, try making it a day or two ahead of time. I’ve been loving doing this. The dough comes out like a pizza shop every single time I bake it. The resting time allows it to develop more flavor while also creating a chewier crust. It’s perfect!
Just make sure your dough is at room temperature. This will certainly make shaping your pizzas much easier. If the dough is too cold, it will not stretch easily.
Step 2: the oven
Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or try using a baking stone. If you use a baking stone, heat your oven to the highest setting possible; for me, that’s 500. Be sure to preheat the stone for at least an hour prior to baking.
Step 3: the toppings
Now that the dough is rolled out, you can add your toppings. This is a no-fuss pizza; simply layer everything on and then bake.
I apply olive oil to the crust, then fresh thyme, garlic, and chili flakes. I add honey and fig preserves, and then I layer on the cheese.
For the cheese, I love a good melty cheese. Mozzarella, gouda, and fontina are perfect with these flavors!
Next, toss the peaches with balsamic vinegar and add a pinch of sea salt.
Then add the peaches and prosciutto to the pizza. Bake the pizza until the prosciutto is crisp. Add handfuls of fresh basil leaves as soon as you pull the pizza out of the oven. It’s going to smell so yummy!
Slice and enjoy each slice warm! It’s perfect for any summer night!

This pizza is unimaginably delicious! I did not have all the right cheeses or the fig preserves, but I just used what I had and it was outrageously good! There were no leftovers in sight! Baked it in a pizza oven, yum!

Made it exactly like the recipe. Epic summer treat and possibly the best pizza of my life! Absolutely delicious study in contrasts: sweet, hot, herbal, umami, juicy, crisp. Don’t skip any part of this masterpiece.

I don’t even have words for how much I loved this flavour combo. Salty, spicy, sweet, cheesy, herby . . . maybe my favourite homemade pizza of all time (and I make a lot of pizza). The only omission was fresh thyme but I didn’t miss it, the basil was enough. Thanks for a superior recipe!

Delicious pizza. We have a wood burning pizza oven and have been experimenting with different combinations. This is one of the best combinations I’ve tried. So good!!!! Going sailing this weekend and will use this combo with “pre-purchased” flatbread.
Hey Annika,
Happy Friday! Thrilled to hear that you enjoyed this recipe, thanks for your comment and making it! Xx
I forgot the peach when I was grocery shopping, so I just drizzled the balsamic vinegar on top. The pizza was AMAZING! We had left overs and popped them in the air fryer the next day and it was great again!

Best pizza!!! You have to try this recipe! I did not use the Gouda, the jam, or the honey (the peaches I have are so sweet already). But otherwise made it as written. This is such a good pizza. I think it is one of Tieghan’s best recipes so far! Really, really, really loved this pizza!!!
