When it comes to pizza, the sky’s the limit. I think of this mushroom and caramelized onion goat cheese pizza as a grown-up pizza, although kids seem to like it, too.  It’s great for a quick week night meal, when paired with a salad or cup of soup. I also love to serve this pizza cut into smaller pieces as an appetizer.

Vegetarians and Meat Lovers Alike Love this Pizza

My brother is a vegetarian, and I always worry that I’m only serving side dishes when he visits. This pizza suits meat lovers and vegetarians alike and there’s never a piece left over.
  • This pizza is tasty cut into smaller portions and served as a meatless appetizer.
  • For a time save, you can make the mushroom-onion topping in advance and chill until your’re ready to make the pizza.
  • If you prefer, you can use frozen or homemade pizza dough. When doing so, adjust the baking time being careful to cook until it’s golden and cooked through.
  • You may slice this pizza into as many pieces as you like. I tend to cut the pieces smaller when serving as an appetizer and larger as an entree. Adjust depending on how you choose to serve this pizza.
  • You may also enjoy this easy goat cheese appetizer from Wine and Glue.
