In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just incorporated. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Pour the pancake batter into the skillet to create a large, pizza-sized pancake (about 8 inches in diameter).
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set. Carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the pancake to a serving platter and let it cool slightly.
Spread a thin layer of maple syrup over the pancake, as you would with pizza sauce.
Sprinkle the toasted pecans evenly across the pancake, followed by the fresh fruit.
Top with dollops of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Slice the pancake into 'pizza' wedges and serve immediately.
