Caramelized Onion, Salami, Mozzarella & Gorgonzola Pizza
Pizza, an Italian classic, an American favorite take out food. We have done a handful of recipes dedicated to pizza here at Simply Scrumptious. The most memorable one is Sausage and Veggies White Pizza which was a popular favorite here, but this homemade gourmet pizza takes the cake. Caramelized Onion, Salami, Mozzarella & Gorgonzola Pizza is inspired by gourmet specialty pizza shops, and is a simple pie with many different flavors happening on one plate. Usually most people go for sausage or pepperoni as their topping choice. We instead used, the often overlooked, salami. It makes a great choice for this pizza because of it’s perfect marriage of taste with the caramelized onions and Gorgonzola cheese. Next time you’re in the mood for some gourmet pizza, make this no hassle, yet oh so yummy, dish!
Caramelized Onion, Salami, Mozzarella & Gorgonzola Pizza
- 1 rustic ciabatta flatbread (I bought it from Trader Joe’s)
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 slices salami, sliced
- fresh mozzarella, 6 chopped slices
- 2 tablespoons Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 1 teaspoon parsley
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
In a large skillet over medium heat add a tablespoon of olive oil and saute onions until they are soft and caramelized, approximately 15-20 minutes.
Place the Ciabatta flatbread on a baking sheet and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil
Spread out the mozzarella cheese
Then add the strips of salami
Followed by the caramelized onions
Then crumble about a palmful of Gorgonzola cheese all over the pizza and lightly season with parsley
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until cheese has melted
Enjoy yourself some homemade gourmet pizza!

Here’s a suggestion that someone brought to my attention.
For great pizza crust, purchase a CALPHALON Pizza pan. It is round and totally full of holes. I purchased it off Amazon for $14.00.
EXCELLENT investment.
Makes great crust, and cooks evenly.
Just one of those “thoughts” for the regular “at home” pizza maker.
I have to look into that!
OMG, this is the kind of filling that I want in my pizza. I would also like to have some pepperoni on that one too.

Wow! That’s a punch of flavor! Love it!
Looks great! I just made homemade focaccia last night with caramelized onions, rosemary, and goat cheese. I love how the base focaccia recipe turned out (from King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking book), and I’m excited to try different varieties. Yours looks fantastic.
Onions and rosemary and goat cheese says perfect to me. thanks
Oooh, this looks so good. I love pizza, especially unique ones with less than traditional toppings! MMMMMMM
