This Mushroom and Caramelized Onion Pizza is creamy and delicious without the traditional mozzarella cheese! The caramelized onions are a nice addition, but the pizza could be made without. Great as a vegetarian option served as small bites at a party, as an appetizer before a meal or lunch served with a side salad.
