Sliced onions thinly, and carmelized over medium heat stirring constantly.

(Original recipe found at Epicurious, but I've changed the recipe to make it my own) 😊 This pizza is also made at Antonio's Italian Deli and Market in Maitland. It is unbelievably delicious! Pair it with 14 Hands Cabernet Sauvignon.
