Pinsa with Crescenza Cheese, Grapes, and Walnuts

The pinsa with crescenza cheese, grapes, and walnuts is a tasty main dish to enjoy with the arrival of the slightly cooler season, when grapes come to our tables at the beginning of September. The recipe is even faster and easier if you use the ready-made Roman pinsa base as I did. Here it is with creamy crescenza cheese, both white and black grapes, and walnuts to also provide a crunchy note. Serve as a main dish, instead of the classic pizza, or as an appetizer cut into pieces.
