Yummy! My three year old enjoyed the flavors and the proscuitto. My husband ate over half the pizza. *whispering* It was so good I burned my mouth on a fig from just out of the oven. Being greedy, yet satisfied. I added proscuitto and dried cranberries as mentioned by others in reviews. I will be making this again. Thanks for the recipe!

Delicious and simple. I had figs from our produce delivery and I'm normally not a huge fan, but this was so good. I used a boboli thin crust, and I did have the cranberry goat cheese. I thought it might be too sweet but the rosemary and the onions balanced it. So yummy!

Delicious! Made with dried figs, and added spinach for a little health kick. We will definitely make it again - my toddler also loved it!
