Today’s sweet peach pizza is a fun take on a dessert pizza. With fresh peaches in season, I’ve been making peach pound cake and ice cream. But all these peach desserts reminded me of this easy peach pizza, which you can actually make all year, thanks to canned peaches. I topped ready-made pizza dough with buttery cinnamon streusel, gooey Lucky Leaf peach pie filling, and walnuts. Can I just say, the house smelled like a peach pie was baking! Afterward, I drizzled the whole thing with an easy vanilla glaze.
All About This Peach Dessert Pizza Recipe
- Time-saving shortcuts. Using a pre-made pizza dough means you don’t have to wait for the dough to rise, and opening a can of pie filling makes assembly quick and easy.
- Easy to serve. Dessert pizzas are great for serving a crowd, just like slicing into an actual pizza. This is a fun and unique dessert for parties, BBQs, and game day gatherings.
- MIYO (make it your own) with toppings. I topped my pizza with walnuts and a crunchy brown sugar and cinnamon streusel. After it came out of the oven, I made a simple vanilla glaze to drizzle on top. You can customize this recipe with any toppings you’d like, i.e., easily swap the glaze for chocolate sauce or white chocolate ganache for something even more indulgent.
Important Notes!
- Par-bake the pizza crust. I recommend pre-baking the pizza crust. Do this after brushing the rolled-out pizza dough with butter and adding the streusel, but before adding the peaches. This makes the crust crispier and sturdier, similar to how you’d blind bake a pie crust before adding the pie filling.
- Avoid a soggy dessert pizza. When it comes to adding the peach pie filling, be sure not to pour the syrup on top of the pizza dough. Instead, use a spoon to get just the peaches out of the can and place them on top of the pizza.
- You can substitute the peach pie filling with canned peaches. If you do, I suggest draining the peaches before adding them to the pizza, similar to how you’d separate them from the syrup in the pie filling. You can also use fresh peaches if you cook them beforehand, see below.
- Let it cool down before you add the glaze. I allow the baked dessert pizza to rest for 15 minutes outside of the oven before I add the glaze. It can be warm, but not hot. If you glaze it too soon, it melts right into the fruit.
Can I Make This With Fresh Peaches?
Yes. However, if you’re using fresh peaches, you’ll need to pre-cook them first to avoid a soggy crust. I recommend sautéeing the peaches on the stove with cinnamon and brown sugar, like you would when making apple pie filling, for more flavor. If you wanted, you could follow that recipe and simply replace the apples with peaches instead.
What Else Can I Add to a Sweet Peach Pizza?
Just like a traditional pizza, you can really make this dessert your own with any toppings you’d like. Certain toppings are better suited for after baking. Here are some ideas:
Before Baking
- White chocolate chips
- Maple syrup
- Swap walnuts for pecans or macadamia nuts (for peach macadamia nut muffins vibes)
- Mini marshmallows
After Baking
- Fresh berries
- A drizzle of caramel sauce or melted chocolate
- Lemon curd
- Frosting (Only add frosting if the pizza is at room temperature. I think this brown butter frosting or cinnamon maple whipped cream would be delicious here!)
- Crème fraîche
Serving Suggestion
I serve slices of sweet peach pizza like I would a slice of homemade peach pie. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for fruit pizza à la mode, or top slices with homemade whipped cream (tangy mascarpone whipped cream would also go well with the peaches).
Storing Leftovers
- Keep it airtight. Store leftover peach pizza airtight at room temperature for up to 1 day. You can keep this pizza in the fridge to extend the shelf life, but I recommend serving it at room temperature as the dough tends to become dough in the cold.
- Freeze. Freeze leftovers for up to 2 months. Thaw the pizza at room temperature before serving.

seriously best dessert pizza ever
Now, this is my kind of pizza. I think I just fell in love!
Oh, I am a peach girl! This looks fantastic! Love Lucky Leaf.
I love peach desserts, especially when streusel is involved!
Oh yummy, this dessert pizza looks AWESOME!
I feel you on the microwave thing… I didn’t have one for most of my life and now I couldn’t imagine what I’d do if it would break!
Dessert pizzas are all kinds of awesome! I’m loving this peach crumble one that you created!!!
Love this peach streusel pizza! It looks divine! This is a must bake summer dessert!
Peach pizza? Wow this is fantastic!!!
One of my friends once told me that she didn’t own a microwave, and I kind of freaked out. I could not imagine living without it!
Now this dessert pizza should help a little with that anxiety. I have yet to make a dessert pizza, but it is definitely on my to-do list.
Microwaves are totally necessary in life. How else do you melt chocolate? How?!
This dessert pizza is truly the best I’ve seen in quite a long time. I will pretty much put streusel on anything, so pizza is included in that!
This dessert is right up my alley! LOVE IT!
Oh, baby! Slice me off some of that!!
Thankfully, our microwave has held up, but we’ve had our power go our several times and you wouldn’t believe how often I find myself trying to use the microwave anyway. I would love to try making your peach streusel pizza on the grill! Thanks for the shout out!
WOW, is this something I wish I could dig into right now! I know exactly what to do with all of my sweet Georgia peaches! : )
When I was a kid our microwave would break every few years and no matter what time it was we’d immediately go buy a new one, even at 8:00 at night. It’s the only way we cooked! I’m the same way and I totally get it. 🙂 Love this pizza so much!
Ooh this is my kind of pizza! I love dessert pizzas but this has be the most unique flavour combo I have ever seen!
I couldn’t survive without my microwave! In fact, I find all appliances to be completely necessary – dishwasher (which I totally could never take for granted) included! Glad you got a new one 🙂 This peach pizza looks divine! Love the streusel topping of course.
Seriously. You speak my language.
Oh man, I am always impressed by those who don’t have a microwave — I could not survive without mine, no exaggeration. I probably can’t survive without this peachy pizza, either, actually. It looks SOOO good.
I know right Stephanie?! I went to visit my friend in Alaska one time, and she didn’t have one. I didn’t know and I had a microwave freezer meal that I had to cook in the oven for over an hour instead of 4 minutes in the microwave. We still laugh about it to this day!
What a super delicious pizza this is, I just love peaches and with streusel WOW it must be over the top tasty!
Thank so much Diane! Does it count as dinner too? I mean it IS pizza right?
I’m having a very chill long weekend. Mostly because I am still Canadian, and didn’t actually know it was a holiday.
BUT also because the hubs is working, which means I don’t need to share this pizza AT ALL.. The peaches, the streusel! I NEED. Pinned!
HAHAHAH! I am totally on your wave length right now.
