Yum, yum, yum!
This is very similar to a pizza I make quite often, the only changes being that when I roast the Butternut Squash (we call it pumpkin here in Australia) is that I also add a little balsamic vinegar to the roasting pan. This helps the onions and squash caramelise beautifully. I have also in the past roasted different vegetables to go on the pizza... things like new asparagus, cherry tomatoes, zucchini or eggplant. Further to that after the vegetables are roasted I add Proscuitto to the pizza, as well as some goats cheese or feta (depending on what I have on hand)and a little parmesan or pecorino along with some mozzarella. Serve with a simple green salad of baby spinach leaves with a balsamic vinegarette
Read MoreI thought it was ok...and alittle bland and I don't mind blande. My 10 year old liked it and my husband made so many faces while eating it I got up and made him a sandwich. If I were to make it again I would add a lot to it...more cheese, mushcrooms, cherry tomatoes, garlic, a little more rosemary but I doubt I will be making it again.

Wow, I was so surprised by this recipe. It came out awesome, and I don't normally like Butternut Squash at ALL. This recipe can even be enjoyed cold. It's sweet, fragrant, and so good for you. I used only a small amount of cheese (Monteray Jack & Parmasean). I also carmelized the onions instead of putting them in the oven with the squash. It was someones GREAT suggestion that the butternut squash be boiled on the stove for 4 minutes in order to aid in peeling. Thanx!
This is a great recipe! Here is how my boyfriend and I spiced this up a bit. Add Olive Oil and chopped garlic to the crust (we used a already made pizza crust. Then top with the squash and onions. Before putting on the Parmesan, top with shredded mozzarella. Bake the same way as the recipe. Mmmm....it's so good!
In a word - Amazing. Loaded with flavor. I carmelized red onions with a little bit of balsamic and sugar instead of baking them, and put it on top of the roast squash. Instead of parm (which I will still try), I used a light (!! - too much would overpower the delicate squash flavor - !!) sprinkling of cheddar and blue cheese. WOW, it kicked it up a notch. I made this with Trader Joe's whole wheat pizza crust which made 2 9in pizzas, and in the last few minutes of baking, I slid them off the tray and baked it right on the oven rack to get it nice and crispy. I also added some julienned bresaola - a cured italian meat, like procuitto, except made from beef and not pork. It added a nice bit of salt to the savory, and went great with the blue cheese. Awesome.
This has turned into one of my top go-to recipes! I made a few changes for ease - I just make one big pizza and then cut it into squares. I microwave the grated squash for 5 minutes before adding it to a saute pan with carmelized red onions (instead of white) and the rosemary. Delicious!
What a find! I used an oat bran pita bread instead of the pizza dough and pre-cooked/mashed squash in place of the sliced squash. Once they came out of the oven, we topped with more diced veggies. Excellent springboard for creative lunches!!!
My husband and I loved it. I made it on whole wheat crust I made with my bread machine. This is a keeper!
wow - what a unique and tasty pizza! i used trader joe's cornmeal pizza dough and added a little garlic salt and a dash of cayenne to the squash prior to roasting. also, i topped the pizzas with the cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking. my husband dislikes squash and loved these! thanks! (the squash is a bit of a beast to cut before roasting...any suggestions?)
This is really good and a healthy alternative to traditional pizza. I used half the dough for the amount of toppings and increased the cheese, using a combination of asaigo and mozzerella. Yum, also good heated up for my lunch.
I've made this a few times now and have to say I've enjoyed it every time. I peel the squash then lop off the bottem and scoop out the seeds. Then slice it super thin and roast it as instructed. My personal preference is to use homemade pizza dough and to drizzle the onions w/ balsamice vinegar before roasting. I use asiago cheese and instead of sprinkling it over the top I cover the dough w/ a thin layer and arange the onions and squash on top. DO NOT make the mistake of expecting a gooy, cheesy take-out pizza! It is a beautiful pizza and very unique. Make this and present it as a classy new dish for your family and guest.
OH. MY. GAWD. Can you say good??? I've made this twice in 2 weeks now! I ground some fennel seed with dried rosemary and sprinkled that over the squash & onions. I made just one large pizza, and on the crust I spread a light coating of Aldi's Balsamic Glaze...you could make your own (its a thickened balsamic basically) or you could use a decent balsamic vinegar. Then I put the squash mixture, added moz, shredded parm, and some crumbled feta. SO good!
This pizza was delicious! A few things: -boil butternut squash for a few minutes to make chopping/peeling easier before putting it in the oven. -adding tons of olive oil and garlic to the pizza crust is a must -added feta cheese crumbles to kick it up a notch Next time, I'm going to make a creamy sauce out of cream, melted asiago, garlic and onion for the base to build some flavor.
I thought it was ok...and alittle bland and I don't mind blande. My 10 year old liked it and my husband made so many faces while eating it I got up and made him a sandwich. If I were to make it again I would add a lot to it...more cheese, mushcrooms, cherry tomatoes, garlic, a little more rosemary but I doubt I will be making it again.
Delicious. I followed other reviewers' recommendations and roasted the squash mixture with a little balsamic vinegar. I used Trader Joe's garlic and herb pizza dough. It was fabulous and healthy to boot. Even my steak-and-potato-eating husband raved about this pizza!
The best flavor combinations ever! I used roasted butternut squash, red onions, and eggplant - delicious! I loved the balsamic, oil, and rosemary combination. Also, for cheese I lightly sprinkled a combo of parmesan, feta (fat free), and mozarella (2%). I made the crust from a pizza dough recipe on this site. The second time I made this I doubled up the recipe and froze six 8-10" pizzas. After they cooled I wrapped them in foil and then ziploced them. When I wanted one, I simply got it out of the freezer, unbagged it, left it in the foil and covered but with the foil loosely opened. I would cook on 350 for about 20 minutes! Delicious every time!
Made this today and it was really great! Gave it 4 stars because I think it tasted better with some spicy marinara dip to give it some sauce, and added some feta.. also I would suggest cooking the dough until it was golden and then adding the toppings, perhaps putting it back in for a few minutes to warm and melt the cheese.. It still tasted good, but the dough wasn't cooked all the way and the onions and squash were going to get burnt if I didn't take it out. (It might just of been the dough I used, though)
Good recipe, but I prefer my own pizza dough. It's so easy to make! 3 cups unbleached a/p flour, 1tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp yeast, 13 fl. oz. warm water. Mix in food processor until well blended and dough forms a ball. Let rise in a bowl covered with plastic wrap for 30 minutes. Kneed on a floured surface for a minute, then return to the bowl for a second rise until doubled in volume. Roll out into rounds or refrigerate for up to 2 or 3 days for later use. I usually substitute about half a cup of whole wheat flour for the same amount of the unbleached white flour for some added flavor, but this is optional. I harvested about 200 pounds of butternut from the garden this year, so this recipe will get lots of use with many variations along the way.
This butternut squash and rosemary pizza wasn’t too fussy to prepare and was pretty decent. It has some interesting flavors but I probably would not recommend it if you are not a fan of butternut squash. The tang and saltiness of the asiago helped to contrast against the sweetness of the butternut squash. If you are a fan of sweet potato, I would definitely explore with this type of squash since they have similar flavors. I didn’t have the cornmeal to place in the pan, but greasing it works perfectly fine as well.
This was really delicious! I used the Trader Joe's ready to bake whole wheat Pizza Crust for it. I also made it into 4 pizzas instead of quartering the two. I will definitely be making again.
I feel this would be perfect as an appetizer----cut into small rectangles. I didn't love it as a dinner pizza. I did add bacon as some suggested---glad I did, not sure I would've liked it as much without. The flavors of the squash, rosemary, onions, bacon & cheese are all very distinct, in a great way.
Great pizza and easy to make. It was sweater than I realized it was going to be - probably from the butternut squash. We didn't measure out the Parmesan cheese and just sprinkled on as much as looked satisfying. Extremely tasty. I'll be making it again.
We did not like this at all, but it's probably just different tastes rather than a bad recipe. I'm sure there are people who like it.
This is surprisingly delicious. Based upon prior reviews, I added blue cheese, cheddar cheese, a small amount of chopped pancetta that i had in the fridge, as well as a piece of leftover chicken. I used a trader Joe's herb pizza crust
This was good, but the squash took a lot longer to cook than I had anticipated. Also, I should have done what other reviewers said they did and carmelized the onions on the stovetop. They didn't turn out as well in the oven.
This recipe was by far my favorite by allrecipes so far! I altered it a little by adding bacon slices to be roasted with the onions, roseary, etc. The juices from the bacon gave it a great taste! I also did not have cornmeal and it was still delicious! I added minced garlic under the cheese so it could cook well without getting burnt. I could eat this pizza every week! Thank you for this recipe!
This is a great recipe that can have additional toppings as desired and is a great switch from the traditional pizza. My husband looked at me crazy when I started making this but ended up putting some chicken on his pieces and dipping it in BBQ sauce, loving every mouthful! I added mozzarella like other reviewers suggested. Yummy! This is a keeper!
Was really skeptical about the whole squash pizza combination, was totally surprised by the yumminess of these pizzas!!!!!! Excellent comfort food. I used mozzerella, tasted great! Definetly try this recipe.
My family was skeptical when I started making this pizza but ended up loving it. I made my own crust using the Pizza Crust for the Bread Machine II recipe here on Allrecipes and divided the dough to make two small pizzas. I also added one clove of chopped garlic to the roasted squash, onions, and rosemary. I used goat cheese, mozzarella cheese, and parmesan cheese lightly on it. It was wonderful. I do think it would be good with a contrasting flavor like ham or chicken especially for those who like some meat on their pizza.
this dish was surprisingly delicious. i myself am not a big squash fan, but i could hardly tell that's what i was eating! definitely a keeper.
I have made several times and recommend a whole wheat pizza crust, bake directly on oven rack, add more cheese!
I loved this recipe and it was the first time I ever ate butternut squash! What a sheltered life! I did slightly change a few things....first, I boiled the squash for about 4-5 minutes and it made it so much easier to peel and cut. Next, I used a pre-made whole wheat pizza crust and brushed it with olive oil and sprinkled with oregano, salt, and pepper. I baked the squash and fresh rosemary (without the onions) as directed. I cooked the onions in a saucepan on the stove with a tablespoon or so of olive oil, and about the same of balsamic vinegar. I also added about a teaspoon or so of sugar to the onions and cooked until soft. I then sprinkled some asagio cheese on the crust, placed the baked squash, then the onions, and then MORE cheese and oregano before placing in the oven. Delicious! I love this recipe! I made it twice this week! My meatarian husband even liked it!
I really wanted to like this more, and it turned out gorgeous looking, but the flavor just didn't have the depth I hoped for. It was interesting to try though!
needs more flavors. can only eat one slice at a time because it is so bland. definitely not a full meal. but it is a good base recipe for something grander.
This recipe is delicious! I added fresh chopped garlic to the squash before roasting. Everything is better with garlic!
Wow! I forgot to rate this the first time I tried this. I made it for a dinner party and everyone loved it. I just made it again tonight from memory and still have that 'yummy in my tummy' feeling again! I especially love it because I have an allergy to the acid in normal tomato sauce and the squash is amazingly similar in texture but without the acid that bothers me. Also I used less oil, only about 1 T, and it was fine, though I think I used less squash too. I used a flat bread that was premade so I only needed to use my toaster oven for about 3 minutes. So delcious and easy. I will be making this more regularly.
I used a jiffy crust mix (so fast and easy). And I roasted my squash first. I think it's way easier than peeling and slicing the squash. I also put the cheese on the pizza before it went into the oven. It melted into the squash and made it like a cheesy squash hot dish on the crust. I used Gruyere cheese, because it tastes so good and I used almost a cup instead the little that this recipe calls for. This recipe was great inspiration, my house smelled so good while it was baking.
Alone, the butternut squash did not do it for me. But on the honey wholewheat pizza crust with caramelized onion, mozza and fresh parm, it was absolutely delicious! I was surprised that even the pickest of my family loved it! See my submitted picture of butternut squash to see the easiest way to cook the squash. Thanks for the fabulous recipe, I will be making this over and over again!
Probably my favorite allrecipes recipe I've tried. Wonderful and easy and my 3 year old ate a bunch of squash! (We used zucchini and yellow squash and can't wait to try with butternut.)
I made this in a super healthy way tonight and it was delicious! I had a bag of cubed butternut squash I needed to use up. I sliced up the cubes into thirds to get thinner pieces, arranged them evenly on a baking pan lined with wax paper, and brushed organic coconut oil over the squash. Instead of olive oil, I melted 1/2 tbs of Nutiva extra virgin coconut oil in a small pan (other oils become toxic when cooking to high heat- I only use olive oil when it's consumed without heating i.e. mixing with balsamic vinegar and pepper as a salad dressing, making bruschetta or tabouleh etc). I sprinkled italian seasoning, pepper, and a dash of sea salt, and baked in my convection toaster oven for 20 mins. On the stovetop, I caramelized a brown onion with balsamic vinegar and finely diced organic garlic clove. I used a Classico Crostini Pizza Crust which only has 30mg of sodium per 1/3 crust! I brushed the crust with a lil bit of melted coconut oil, layered butternut squash, caramelized onion and garlic, and lightly topped with Kraft 'with a touch of Philadelphia cream cheese' mozzarella cheese. It was good as is but I decided to add avocado, tomato, and dabbed a lil bit of Litehouse kefir yogurt probiotic blue cheese salad dressing and was AMAZING!!! I only add the avocado, tomato, and dressing on the individual slice as I'm ready to eat it. The kefir blue cheese dressing was really the key, it tastes like reg blue cheese dressing, you cant even tell it's a healthy version!
This was great! I did change a few things- I carmelized two red onions and garlic in one cup of red wine. I also added sugar and basamic vinegar to the squash. I rubbed olive oil on the dough and sprinkled it with italian seasoning. Cooked in the oven and had olive oil, balsamic and italian seasoning in a bowl to dip the crust in! It was great, def be making this again :)
I've had very similar to this before and it was great! The way I've had it also includes using regular pizza sauce, topping with the onions and squash as described and then putting dollops of goat cheese instead of the listed cheese(s) and then topping with some shredded mozzerella.
I've been making a lot of squash since it's in season right now, and feeling very thankful to allrecipes for so many interesting recipes. This was awesome bf and I really enjoyed- I omitted the salt to taste and just used pepper. Really tasty~ thanks! :D
Delicious and healthy change from the usual pizza! I added fresh grated parmesan cheese with slices of purple onion and prosciutto ham on top. I made these for my family at Christmas. Everyone loved it.
Very nice! I used the Premium Pizza Crust recipe from here for the dough, and I made two different pizzas with it, including this one. I just made another pizza for bf bc he's not a fan of butternut squash. I really like this--the flavor is sweet, like the squash, and it's tasty and filling. I did find it a little hard to mix the squash together without well, squashing it, but it still worked out okay. Thanks for the recipe!
This recipe was VERY good as is and the only thing we added was some crushed red pepper, about 1/2 tsp. We like a little spice and I think it was a great improvement. This is a great pizza for me since I'm vegetarian and I think next time I'll add a base sauce of cream cheese mixed with veggie stock and garlic.
great pizza! for a milder taste, ricotta and mozzarella is the answer. But if you want to dare, blue cheese along with mozzarella is what you are looking for:-)
Better with a thinner crust. I also would like it with more cheese than called for in the recipe - although it would be less healthy then.
Good recipe, but didn't have enough color. I feel like it could've used some green... maybe spinach?
Absolutley loved this recipe but did make a few minor changes. I took half the butternut squash and puree'd it with a touch of milk to the consistency of a ragu' and used it as a base on the pizza. I also used goats cheese and mozz. and sauteed mushrooms & garlic allowing the guests to build thier own pizza. I also did the pizza on the grill to really get that crispy crust. It was a major success.
My husband and I loved this pizza. I added some red peppers to the onion & squash mixture and the combination of flavors was delicious. I think it tasted even better the next day.
Pretty average recipe. Tried adding lemon juice and garlic and big improvement.
Amazing recipe. Super easy and it comes out looking like you spent hours slaving over dinner! One of the first recipes where I wouldn't change a thing! I did forget to mention I nuked the potatoes until they were medium soft so I didn't have to cut them into tiny pieces and it worked out perfectly.
I was really excited to try out this recipe. I love the flavors of roasted butternut squash and onions but sadly this pizza was nothing more than "alright". We ate it because there was nothing wrong with the flavors, but there was nothing memorable about the pizza that would make me want to make it again.
Wow! I was a bit skeptical at first of this recipe, but it was delicious! I listened to one of the other reviews and brushed two pre-made personal pizza sized crusts with olive oil and garlic first. I will DEFINITELY be making this one again!
This pizza was fantastic. The reviews were difficult to decipher because it seemed that everyone was reviewing a personalized version of the recipe and not the recipe itself. I made it exactly as it says and it was amazing. The key is to slice the butternut squash incredibly thin. Some people commented that the cooking time was not long enough, but when I looked at other people's uploaded photos, it is clear that they had made very thick slices...if made the way the recipe describes, this is a very delicious pizza. On a side note, I chose to go the Asiago route...very good...but next time I make it, I think I will use a little more than the recommended 2 tbsp...I am a cheese lover.
Delicious! I cheated a little and used a loaf of frozen bread dough for the crusts. The kids liked it, too!
This recipe filled my house with a beautiful smell and tasted perfect. We followed the directions exactly and used Trader Joe's garlic and herb pizza dough. This will not disappoint.
Really tasty! We skipped the onions and added goat cheese. Peeling the squash was a huge pain, next time we're going to cook it and put it on like a sauce, with green beans and chicken
This pizza was light, but so tasty. I didn't use the cornmeal and I used the whole wheat pizza crust from Trader Joe's. I used Asiago cheese and it turned out perfect.
Not only have I made this as a pizza, but I also make the roasted squash as a side dish. Delicious!
This pizza is yummy. So much flavor in such a simple recipe. The vegetables are roasted just perfectly. We did not change anything from the original posted recipe, it was simply amazing as is.
My husband and I love this recipe. I used the dough as the rectangle it comes in, but otherwise, I followed the recipe as written. I'll be making this one frequently.
Delicious! I added a few ingredients that made it so good: After putting the squash mixture on the dough, I added the layer of onions, some garlic, fresh basil, and fresh baby spinach. Then I added the layer of cheese to trap it all in. Finally, I added around 10-15 cubes of delicious feta cheese. The saltiness of the feta was a nice balance to the sweetness of the squash. Oh and, I used home-made whole-wheat dough fused with oregano, dried basil and rosemary. For the crust, make to dribble some cheese onto it to make it ten times more delicious! SO GOOD!
This was pretty good. It needed a bit more flavor (a little more parmesan did the trick). I ended up putting fresh mozzarella on ours so it looked more like a pizza and my kid would eat it. I actually preferred it that way.
I made this today and my husband and I both really enjoyed it. As recommended my other reviewers, I roasted the veg with balsamic vinegar and put mozerella cheese and goats cheese on top of the pizzas before cooking. Thanks a lot for the recipe - I'm sure I will make it again soon!
The taste and flavor of this pizza was awesome. I substituted red bell pepper for the onions. The only reason I'm only giving this recipe a 4 star rating is because of the hassle and work involved in skinning and slicing the butternut squash. I researched easier ways after spending over half an hour trying to peel and slice one, and found that if you boil the whole squash in a covered pot for about 4 minutes, so the skin is punctuable by a toothpick, but only the skin, it's easier to peel. I'm going to try it next time.
I love this pizza, but the peeling of the squash was a major pain, so the second time I made it, I used the hint from LadyClotho and put the squash in boiling water for 4 minutes. It was way easier to peel. Thanks, LadyClotho for the tip. Also, it freezes well and heats up in the oven in no time. Great for a late night snack.
Pretty good! I used a homeade dough that I had preveiously frozen and whole wheat. We dipped it in a marinara sauce and made for a nice dinner. We also doubled the cheese. Will make again! Thanks!
I was skeptical, but this was awesome! I did add a little bit of mozzarella on top, but followed the recipe otherwise.
Learning experience: There is a difference between butternut and acorn squash. All squash is not the same. Good to know. However, even with the acorn squash it was really good- but I'd go with the butternut next time.
This was sooooooo good! and my hubby hates squash. There was not one bite of this left! When i roasted the squash i roasted it with red onions and sprinkled balsamic vinegar over it...delicious!!! When i baked the pizza i put mozzarella and feta on for the cheeses..soo good!
This was great. I made my pizza dough out of a focaccia bread recipe found on this site. I didn't have rosemary so I used dried thyme instead, and added prosciutto along with the squash on top of the pizza. I also topped mine with some mozzarella as well as parmesan.
Not fantastic. Bleh...used pita-type thingies for the crust. Pureed the squash and added 2 Amaretti cookies (World Market) a little salt, and some half and half to give it sweetness and make it creamier. Not sure if I'd make again, maybe I'll try a homemade crust.
I think I needed a lot more squash on mine. The crust turned out bigger than I expected, so it kind of felt like just eating crust.
This has become a family staple at my house - even my kids love it - & it gets rave reviews when I've served it for guests as an appetizer. I make it on a Trader Joe's whole wheat crust. Sometimes we add sauteed spinach or kale to it; have also omitted the rosemary on occasion. Will try the balsamic vinegar addition next time! I've also cooked the squash this way & served as a side dish (w/o the pizza crust). Thanks for posting this - we love it!
Loved it. Made our own whole wheat herbed crust using basil and rosemary. Added just a bit of mozzarella because we like a lot of cheese. Will definitely make again.
It was delicious! The only way I can usually get my toddler to eat chicken is by hiding it in mashed potatoes. She ate a whole chicken breast herself!
Wow! This was a terrific recipe and I can't wait to try it again. I used goat cheese and basalmic vinegairette with the squash and onions which was a beautiful blend of textures and flavors. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Delicious! My absolute new favorite recipe! Everyone in my house loved it and it's become one of our favorites to make. I love using fresh squash and pre-baking it in the oven, then the whole house smells like fall. The precooked squash works great when you need to save some time. And it still is just as delicious. Yum yum yum yum!
This really laced a lot in the way of flavor. All my guests were really disappointed.
Instead of pre-baking the squash and onions, I just sliced them thin, spread them over the whole wheat herbed crust, then topped with rosemary. After baking for 15 minutes at 400, this was great! Its's a very tasty idea! Thanks for the recipe!
This is absolutely delicious, easy and different. Only recipe additions I made were adding some balsamic vinegar and garlic cloves when carmelizing then made one large pizza. Baked for 20 minutes. Oh, and added a bit of shredded mozzarella as well. Yum!
I have made this recipe twice and it was delicious on both occasions. I only gave it 4 stars though because I made a couple of changes. For the rosemary, 1 tsp was not enough so I used closer to 2 tbsp. For the cheese, I used at least a cup over 2 pizzas it made. 10 minutes was also not enough, it took 15.
Excellent! I also used a dash of cayenne to the squash, which was great. I added a little turkey bacon and it was a nice, but I would suggest not to put too much or it overpowers the squash. Feta was key also. This night turned into a pizza making party and we made all different kinds, tons of fun!
