Themed Fruit Pizzas
Although the fruit pizzas above were not prepared by myself, they give you an idea of how decorative this dessert can appear.
If you have a themed event, you might try arranging the fruit in the shape of a motif, symbol or numbers for a birthday or anniversary. Perhaps even your national flag.
I have seen those decorated to resemble Old Glory, the American flag, something very appropriate for the Fourth of July celebrations.
As a Brit, I also noticed that some clever soul had arranged the fruit to appear like the Union Jack. The flag idea may be a little more time consuming, but the end result does look stunning.
It seems that whatever occasion you are planning, the themes and ideas for this fruit pizza are endless.

A great summer treat for kids.
So nice, love this can't wait to try it. I had a great raw veggie pizza recipe and lost it years ago, you wouldn't happen to have one of those as well?
Fruit pizza. I wonder what the Italians in my family would have to say about that!
This is crazy, I would have never thought of fruit pizza!
Wow. Makes a great summer treat or a Holiday dessert. Thanks.
Oh my, that looks great. I may have to try a "mini" version of this. Thanks for the recipe.
I made something a bit like this at the weekend, I never thought to call it a fruit pizza though! Yours looks tastier.
Ah, thanks for the reminder. My sons used to make this with their aunt when they were so small that they had to stand on a chair at the counter. We should have a fruit pizza again soon, it will be interesting to see if they remember SMOOSHING the fruit onto the pizza.
Never tried one.
Very nice design to it! Thanks for this.
