Notes

Choose a round watermelon to get bigger discs for the pizza. Seedless watermelon works best for this recipe, you may also use them with seeds, just like I did.
An assortment of fruits or berries can be used as toppings for the pizz. Refrain from using fruits that tend to brown like bananas or apples.
Greek yoghurt can be replaced by sour cream.
Using honey adds a nice glaze and flavour to the pizza.
The cream cheese glaze in this recipe is good to make 2 watermelon pizzas.
Refrigerate pizza slices if you have any leftovers. This stays good for a few hours, after which the watermelon starts to absorb the sauce.
Cream cheese glaze stays fresh in an airtight container if refrigerated for up to a week.
