Peach Cobbler Pizza with Sourdough Pizza Dough
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
If peach cobbler and pizza had a dessert baby, this Peach Cobbler Pizza would be it. You’ve got sourdough pizza dough holding up sweet syrupy peaches, a buttery crumble topping, and a simple vanilla glaze drizzled on top like icing on the cake, except it’s pizza. It bakes up in about 15 minutes (faster if you’re using a pizza oven), and the whole thing comes together with mostly pantry staples. Serve this dessert pizza warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or eat it straight from the pan on a summer night. Either way, this is the kind of treat that makes people ask, “Wait, why didn’t I think of this?”

Oven Temperatures
Oven temperatures can vary significantly from one oven to another. To achieve consistent results, it’s crucial to know the exact temperature inside your oven. The safest and most accurate way to determine this is by using an oven thermometer. This simple tool can help you avoid underbaking or overbaking your treats.
Commonly Asked Questions
Can I use canned or frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, both work well. If using frozen, thaw and drain them first. If using canned, go for peaches in juice, not syrup, and pat them dry to avoid a soggy crust.
What if my peach topping turns out too runny?
That usually means it needs more cook time. You can also stir in a small amount of cornstarch while it’s on the stove to help it thicken up.
My cobbler topping melted into the crust. What happened?
This can happen if the peach mixture is still hot when you assemble the pizza. Make sure it’s fully cooled before spreading it on the dough to keep the crumble from disappearing.
Why is my crust underbaked?
Make sure your oven or pizza stone is fully preheated. You can also bake the pizza a little longer or tent the edges with foil if they’re browning too quickly.
How do I keep the crust from getting soggy?
Fully cool the peach mixture before layering it on and don’t overload it. You want a juicy topping, not a puddle.
Can I make this ahead of time?
You can prep the peach and cobbler toppings in advance and store them separately. Assemble and bake when you’re ready to serve so the crust stays crisp.
How should I store leftovers?
Wrap leftover slices and keep them in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven to bring back the crispness. Best eaten within a couple days.

Nutrition
This peach cobbler pizza always disappears faster than I expect. It’s sweet, a little gooey, and has that perfect crunch from the crumble topping. I love serving it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, but it’s honestly great straight from the fridge too. Definitely one of those desserts that’s worth turning the oven on for.
