Let me tell you a story. My grandma, bless her heart, always had a knack for making something out of nothing. One day, during a particularly lean week, all she had in the fridge was some onions, a sad-looking block of goat cheese, and a bit of bacon. What she created was nothing short of a culinary masterpiece: a pizza that was both savory and sweet, tangy and rich. This recipe is my attempt to recreate that magic, with a few tweaks of my own. I miss her terribly. I hope you enjoy this Onion Orbit Pizza, just thinking of it makes my mouth water!
This Onion Orbit Pizza isn't just another pizza recipe; it's an experience. It's the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes and savor every single bite. The combination of sweet caramelized onions, tangy goat cheese, salty bacon, and a drizzle of honey creates a flavor profile that's simply irresistible. And it's surprisingly easy to make, whether you're a seasoned pizza chef or a total beginner. One of my friends, Sarah, tried this and now makes it weekly! It’s seriously addictive.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven: Place a pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 475°F (245°C) for at least 30 minutes. If you don't have a pizza stone, use a baking sheet.
- Caramelize the onions: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30-40 minutes, or until deeply golden brown and caramelized. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. This step is where the magic happens, be patient! The onions should be sweet, almost jam-like.
- Prepare the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. If using store-bought dough, follow the package instructions.
- Assemble the pizza: Carefully transfer the dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet dusted with cornmeal. Spread a thin layer of olive oil over the dough, then scatter the caramelized onions evenly over the surface.
- Add the cheese: Crumble goat cheese over the onions. Don't be shy – the goat cheese is the perfect counterpoint to the sweet onions!
- Bake the pizza: Slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone (or place the baking sheet in the oven). Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
- Add the final touches: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle crispy bacon bits (if using) over the pizza. Drizzle lightly with honey and garnish with fresh thyme leaves.
- Slice and serve: Cut the pizza into slices with a pizza cutter and serve immediately. Enjoy every delicious bite!
📝 Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the caramelized onions.
- If you don't have fresh thyme, dried thyme can be substituted. Use about 1 teaspoon.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of onions, such as red onions or shallots.
