Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2
In a large skillet, heat a non-stick cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add the sliced fresh button mushrooms and the onion slices. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and the mushrooms have released their moisture.

Season the sautéed vegetables with salt and pepper. Then, drizzle in the balsamic vinegar and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the vinegar to reduce and soak into the mushrooms and onions. Remove from heat and set aside.
4
On a prepared pizza crust, evenly spread the basil pesto over the surface.
5
Layer the sautéed mushroom and onion mixture evenly on top of the pesto.
6
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the vegetable layer.
7
Evenly distribute the chopped Roma tomatoes on top, followed by crumbles of goat cheese.
8
Finish with a sprinkle of shredded Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
9
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges of the crust are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
