- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese 8 ounces

Instructies
- If the pizza dough is cold, let it sit at room temperature while you prepare the toppings.
- If you have a pizza stone, put it in the cold oven.
- If you do not have a pizza stone, the pizzettas can be baked on a baking sheet.
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Toss the grapes and onions with about 3 tablespoons of olive oil and ½ teaspoon of salt.
- Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast until the grapes are wrinkled and the onions are soft, about 25 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta, Italian seasoning, garlic, pepper, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
- Divide the pizza dough into four equal pieces.
- On a lightly floured surface or floured pizza peel, roll out the dough pieces into 6-inch rounds.
- Spread a quarter of the ricotta mixture onto each pizza, leaving ½-inch of space around the edges.
- Cover each pizza evenly with the grape and onion mixture and crumbled Gorgonzola cheese.
- Break 2 slices of bacon onto each pizza.
- Bake pizzettas on the preheated pizza stone or on lightly oiled baking sheets until the crust is golden brown, 10-12 minutes.
