I've made this pizza as written, which is wonderful, but I also like to sprinkle some bleu cheese on it, which is great with the pears & caramelized onion. Sometimes I sub sage for the thyme, depending on what looks best from my herb garden, and the last time I made it, I added some sliced mini-pearl tomatoes, which was a beautiful and tasty addition. Great recipe, Molly!
