Mix together the flour and sugar. Cut in butter until you have a well-mixed dough. Line pizza pan with foil then press dough down all the way to the edges making a ridge to keep in the filling. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes until crust is firm but not too brown. Cool completely before going on to the next step. Mix cream cheese with sugar and vanilla. Spread evenly over cooled crust. Drain the juice from the pineapple into a bowl. Slice the banana and dip the slices into the pineapple juice. Slice your other fruit choice and arrange everything in a circular pattern on top of the pizza. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
