Step One: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your conventional home oven to 525°F. Place a pizza stone on the bottom rack and a pizza steel on the top rack for optimal cooking.
Step Two: Prepare the Dough
Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, ideally forming a round shape. Transfer it to a wooden pizza peel sprinkled with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
Step Three: Assemble the Pizza
- Mix the mozzarella and fontina cheeses in a bowl and sprinkle them evenly over the dough.
- Add red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
- Dry the pickle slices with paper towels and arrange them on top of the cheese.
- Distribute the smoked onion pieces across the pizza.
Step Four: Bake the Pizza
Slide the assembled pizza onto the pizza stone and bake for about 7 minutes. Then, switch to broil for an additional 1-2 minutes on the pizza steel, turning it halfway through to ensure even cooking.

- For an even richer flavor, consider using smoked gouda cheese in place of fontina.
