One bite of this sweet and savory strawberry goat cheese pizza and you will never forget it. There’s something extra special about adding strawberries in dishes and recipes that are mostly savory. Strawberries, because of their sweet and slightly tart flavor (and beautiful red color) are ideal for pizza – especially when combined with a salty goat or feta cheese. One of the best parts of this pizza is the balsamic drizzle. All these flavors dance around like a party in your mouth!

Spread pizzas with softened goat cheese, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Toss strawberries with white balsamic vinaigrette; arrange strawberries evenly on goat cheese. Bake 10 minutes more. Remove from oven; scatter crumbled goat cheese on top. Drizzle with aged balsamic reduction; sprinkle with black pepper. Garnish pizzas with a few leaves of arugula and frisée.
