Fresh Roasted Pumpkin Pizza is my recipe of the day with Pumpkin Week  (from September 21 -25 ).  I  will  be  posting several  times this week (M-W-F) although you can find pumpkin recipes  each day using  the  hashtag #PumpkinWeek on social  media.

Monday  I posted a recipe for Hot Pumpkin Apple Cider and Friday I will serve up an Iced Pumpkin Pie drink. I’ve been crazy for  autumn drinks this year. Perhaps you’ve noticed already as I posted mulled white wine  yesterday.

I must be in the mood  to sip or something. Are you?

Pumpkin season is here, and we are celebrating our love of pumpkin with #PumpkinWeek hosted by Terri from Love and Confections and Christie from A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures. All week-long 26 bloggers will be sharing over 80 pumpkin-filled recipes for all your Autumn celebrations, including breakfasts, baked goods, savory pumpkin recipes, desserts, and drinks.

Fresh Roasted Pumpkin Pizza

I adore several things about this pizza. First, the pumpkin  itself is not something sweet, although it is lightly sweet from the caramelization.

It pairs perfectly with the smokiness of the crisp  bacon,  the  sweetness of the garlic and the crisp sage leaves.

I used a combination of cheeses: first the Parmesan in the sauce, then the Fontina for the base along with mozzarella for the topper. I think you will like the combination as it works well  with everything else.
