Finished onion pizza with ricotta and oregnano.

Red Onion White Pizza

This Red Onion White Pizza uses just a few simple ingredients in a way that really makes their flavors shine. I was introduced to this type of white pizza when I was in Rome and haven’t stopped thinking about it ever since. While I may be biased as an onion lover, this pizza is really, really good.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • 2 small red onion sliced into rounds ¼-inch thin

  • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the dough then lay the sliced onion rings all over, overlapping to cover as much surface area as you can. 
  • Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over top of the onions and bake in a preheated 425°F oven for 25 minutes until the crust and onions are golden brown. 
  • Top the warm pizza with dollops of fresh ricotta cheese, a sprinkle of fresh oregano, and a generous pinch of salt.
