Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 500°. Dust a large baking sheet with flour. Place prepared pizza crust on baking sheet and set aside.
  2. Prepare Pickled Onions: Seperate onion slices, cover with salt and water in a small bowl. Let sit for about 15 minutes. Massage onions for 2-3 minutes. Drain. Squeeze any excess moisture from the onions and return to bowl. Pour lime juice over onions. Set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, olives, capers, rosemary, salt and pepper. Saute for 3-5 minutes or until garlic is softened and fragrant. Remove from heat. Whisk in miso until incorporated.
  4. Spoon about half of garlic mixture onto pizza crust. Top with pickled onions, pear slices, and pine nuts. Drizzle remaining garlic mixture over entire pizza.
  5. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Top with feta cheese. Let cool before cutting. Serve and enjoy!
