Frequently Asked Questions
What type of onion is best for pizza?
White onions have a clean, sharp flavor that mellows when baked. Red onions add a sweeter, milder taste with attractive color. Yellow onions are a good all-purpose middle ground between the two.
Should onions be raw or cooked on pizza?
Both work well. Raw sliced onions soften and partially caramelize during baking, offering a range of textures. Sauteed onions provide a uniformly soft, sweet, mellow onion presence throughout.
