Note
For best results, slice the red onion and pickles thinly to ensure even distribution and better texture.
You can use a pre-made pizza crust or dough to save time. If using dough, pre-bake it for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crust crispiness.
For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the special sauce.
