Method
Prepare the Base
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a greased pizza stone or baking sheet.
- Prick the dough with a fork to prevent bubbles and bake for about 8 to 10 minutes until it is just starting to turn golden brown.
Whisk the Cream
- In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Add the Sweet Layer
- Once the crust has cooled slightly, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the surface, leaving about an inch for the crust edge.
Top with Cherries
- Spoon the cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly. Do not be shy; you want every bite to have that signature tart cherry pop.
The Final Bake
- Pop the pizza back into the oven for another 5 minutes. This sets the cream cheese and warms the cherries until they are glistening.
The Finishing Touches
- Remove the pizza and let it sit for a few minutes. If desired, sprinkle the edges with cinnamon sugar or add a chocolate drizzle. Serve warm with whipped cream on the side.

Notes
For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free pizza crust. To make it vegan, use coconut cream instead of dairy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for about 4 minutes.
