The inspiration for this pizza came by way of my roommate eating at Otto’s pizzeria in Portland, Maine. She noticed a squash pizza on the menu and thought it would be interesting. However, she didn’t sample it that evening, as there were other items on the menu that caught her eye.
What did end up happening was an at-home gourmet pizza night. Using whole wheat crust from Portland Pie, we assembled our version of a butternut squash pizza. It was amazing.

Butternut Squash Pizza
- 1 pizza dough
- 1 cup butternut squash
- 1/2 cup ricotta
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- fresh rosemary
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup grated mozzarella
Assemble pizza to your liking. Cook at 450F for 10ish minutes.
