Were the figs on the pizza?

Yes. The recipe actually calls for fig preserves made into pesto with walnuts, but I didn't have any, so I just used dried figs on top. Oh, and a sliced pear, also. The sweet and salty of the figs and regular pesto was a bit odd, but still fine. One naan always looks like not enough for 2 people, but it is, because whenever I eat a whole one by myself, it's way too much.
