Instructions
- Preheat oven according to pizza dough directions (mine was 425 degrees).
- Pour balsamic vinegar into a small sauce pan and place over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally until balsamic vinegar reduces and thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
- Meanwhile roll out pizza dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread pesto evenly over the dough, then top with 1 cup cheese, the basil, tomatoes, and red onion. Sprinkle with remaining half cup of cheese.
- Bake pizza in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and slice. Drizzle balsamic reduction over each slice before serving. Enjoy!
