The first time I tasted the combination of a strong blue cheese with truffle honey on a warm bread was at a small Italian market at the height of summer. It sent me straight to heaven and I loved every little morsel of the serving. When thinking about this pizza I was lead straight back to that little Italian market and with figs and the glorious bounty that is now available in this harvest season it just made complete sense. We use as sourdough base but any good quality pizza base will do - ask your local favourite pizza joint to sell you pre baked bases and freeze them - it makes life so much easier
