Pizza with Prosciutto, Fig Goat Cheese & Arugula
I could eat this pretty much everyday of my life. It’s just amazing. It’s one of those pizza’s where the first time you try it, it’s just so delicious that you make it again the next day because you just can’t get enough.
I was first introduced to this pizza by my friend Tash, and haven’t looked back since. It’s got the perfect combination of salty, sweet, cheesy, and peppery, all atop a perfectly crisp crust. It beats a classic takeout any day, with it’s slightly different, but highly addictive topping combination.
This pizza starts out classic with a crispy, yet chewy crust, sauce, and mozzarella cheese, and then gets topped with fig goat cheese and prosciutto. After it’s baked you then top the pizza with even more prosciutto, and some peppery arugula. The contrast between the cooked and uncooked prosciutto gives the pizza a great texture, and the peppery arugula is the perfect complement to the sweet and creamy fig goat cheese.
Are you drooling yet? Because you should be.
Pizza with Prosciutto, Fig Goat Cheese & Arugula
Yield: 1 14″ round pizza
Time: approx 35mins
Ingredients
1 ball of dough (I made my dough and used 1/2 of Bobby Flay’s recipe here)
1/4 cup pizza sauce (adjust if you like more or less sauce)
1/3 brick grated mozzarella cheese
1/3 - 1/2 of a package of fig goat cheese, broken up into small chunks
4-5 slices thinly sliced prosciutto
a handful of arugula
Method
- Preheat your oven to 425°F
- Start by rolling out your ball of dough on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1″ larger than the diameter of your pan.
- Once you’ve reached that size, transfer the dough to the pan and tuck the edges under to form your crust. If you don’t like a thicker crust, just roll the dough to the diameter of your pan.
- Add the sauce
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top
- Plop down those little bits of goat cheese evenly around your pie
- Tear up 1/2 the prosciutto and place around evenly
- Bake for 18 minutes, or until golden
- Once cooled slightly, so you don’t burn the top of your mouth, tear up the remaining half of the prosciutto and place around the pizza, followed by the arugula
- Slice & serve!
Full disclosure, I ate half of this pizza. It was just too tasty to stop after 2 slices. Even more disclosure, I actually made a second one so that Nick and I can bring it for our lunches for the next two days. You may be tempted to do the same! Enjoy!
xo, tess.

Thank you so much Sarah!
That looks delish Tess, I’ll have to try to make yours. I make one that is similar to this one. It’s a white pizza with brie cheese, prosciutto, fig jam, caramelized onions, arugula and drizzled with reduced balsamic, it to is salty sweet, I love it. I think you might like this one too.
Thank you! That sounds delicious as well! Anything with caramelized onions is a winner 🙂
[…] Pizza with Prosciutto, Fig Goat Cheese & Arugula This is one of my favourite pizza’s that I’ve ever ate! It has the perfect combination of toppings and comes together super quick. Find my recipe here […]
This look like a really great pizza! Arugula is my favourite lettuce because it’s so versatile. You can put that on everything! (almost).
It really is! I love Arugula too for it’s more peppery flavour, plus it’s less watery than lettuce 🙂
This looks like amazing pizza! I love Prosciutto! It looks like it has so much flavor!
Thank you Carrie! It was! I would put Prosciutto on everything if I had the grocery budget 😛
Lovely ingredients! The classic combination of prosciutto and arugula leaves 🙂
I would even put the top on the finished pizza, mozzarella slices, to add a third color 🙂
Thank you so much, it is a delicious classic combination! That would be a good idea too - adding the mozzarella!
I LOVE Arugula! Saving this recipe. BTW I love your blog, its so pretty!
Me too Anna! Thank you so much 🙂
