Made a spinach, ham, onion, tomato pizza recently. It got me thinking.

Do yall typically sautée onions if you’re putting it on pizza? Just curious what others prefer. I don’t really have a preference. I like both.

Also I’ve been meaning to try it but does brushing the crust with olive oil or some kind of fat affect the presentation/flavor enough to be worth it?

(Asking about cooking in a typical household oven, not sure if it would be different with an actual high heat pizza oven)

    I’ll often cook bacon as a topping, set the bacon aside to cool, then sauté onions, peppers, mushrooms, etc. In the bacon grease.

    I also typically broil each pizza at the end to get extra crisp on the toppings. It’s not a perfect pizza but it’s a great result for a basic home oven.
