The combination of the sweet caramelized onions and pungent goat cheese take a humble pizza crust and elevate it into a pie that is similar to what you might expect to find at a gourmet pizzeria. Plan to pair this recipe with an arugula or spinach salad. Since the onions do take a little time cook, you could easily make them a day or two ahead and store them in the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble the pizza. They are so delicious you could also mix things up and plan to make just the onions to serve over chicken, fish or roasted vegetables.
