Directions
Preheat oven to 425°F.
In a skillet, cook and crumble sausage over medium heat until sausage is browned and the internal temperature is 160°F; about 10 minutes. Remove from skillet and drain if desired. Set aside.
In the same skillet, cook and stir the onions, mushrooms and garlic in oil over medium heat until tender; 3-5 minutes.
Spread pizza dough with pesto. Layer the sausage, onion mixture, cheeses and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
Bake until the crust is crisp and cheese is bubbly; about 15 minutes.
