Need Help Should I Saute Onions Before

[Pizza Boy]

Should I Saute Onions Before puting them on and cooking a pizza or run them raw and let the pizza oven cook them????????? Any help would be great I'm trying my new oven tonight.
Thanks

Raw. If you're gonna saute them, caramelize them, but there's no guarantee how they will hold up.

It depends on what you want for flavor and what you are putting them with.
A raw onion cooked on the pizza can give you a sharp, fresh spicyness to contrast other flavors, not to mention texture.
An onion changes character when sauted. The texture changes and they can beconme sweet. This is great if it fits whith what you want.
Example.
Carmelized onion with roquefort and pears. You get the tooth from the pear, the sharpness from the cheese, and the onion is a nice background texturaly and flavor wise.
or
Pizza with wild mushrooms, fontina and onions. This might be nice with very thin raw onions cooked with the pizza. They would give a nice texture contrast and a sharpness of flavor.

I would venture that it really doesn't matter what we think or even what you think about how your pizza should be. If you're going to serve a market, then get to know that market and make what it wants to buy!

Dude, saute them ! Then, put them on a pizza ! They taste much, much more flavorful. Trust me. The pizza gets the entire onion.. It is fantastic...
