I would use a pate brisee. Pissaladiere is very different then an "tarte aux oignon" The ladder from Provence, and the Tarte from Alsace/Lorraine.

I would advise against the puff pastry. Pissaladiere is more like a pizza (sorry France) You can freeze them, but to be honest, the texture will be compromised from the freezer.

If you need any recipes for these let me know I teach French cuisine and have them available.
