Ingredients
- 1 ball of pizza dough
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary chopped
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 cup crumbled bleu cheese
- salt & pepper to taste

- ¼ cup toasted walnut pieces
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Roll out the dough like you always do (Hey, I don’t judge.). Use a pizza pan or don’t.
- Pop it into the hot oven for a few minutes to lightly firm & crisp it up.
- Meanwhile, combine the garlic, Dijon mustard, rosemary, and vinegar in a food processor or blender.
- While it is blending, drizzle in the olive oil slowly until the dressing has thickened.
- Quickly pulse in 1/4 cup of the bleu cheese; season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Spread the vinaigrette over the pizza crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of blue cheese evenly over the crust, followed by the mozzarella cheese.
- Arrange the sliced pears over the cheese, and sprinkle with the toasted walnuts.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted and is bubbly, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Let cool slightly before cutting into slices.
- EAT IT!

Brian Gerard (Lewandowski) writes books critics call "aggressively adequate"—better than "aggressively terrible" but somehow more concerning. He once traded a MetroCard for a pitchfork on a subway platform and now uses it exclusively for dramatic pointing. He lives on a farm outside Charlottesville, Virginia with three disappointed potted plants, a judgmental pig named Trouble McFussbucket, and a wife who smiles politely at his life choices.

His first manuscript was composed entirely of punctuation marks and confused sketches. He's since published "Not Bukowski" (poems that don't rhyme) and "Slop and Swell from a Festering Mind" (essays so concerning that bookstores check on his well-being). He once spent three hours photographing a rare bird that turned out to be a plastic bag, and he's the only person banned from church bake sales for "weaponized brownies." Inheriting absurdism from Vonnegut and Adams, sprawling narratives from Irving, and weaponized failure from Moore, he writes about conflicted everymen struggling through supernatural chaos.
He has two new, offbeat novels waiting for an agent or a publisher: "Truth Tastes Like Pennies" and "Elliot Nessie."
He remains unconvinced that birds aren't surveillance drones.
