Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a nonstick baking sheet with foil.Step 2
Place tomatoes and mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet; drizzle with 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with salt and pepper.Step 3
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature, about 25 minutes. Leave oven on.Step 4
Meanwhile, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, reduce heat to medium, and caramelize until golden brown and soft, turning occasionally, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and a light drizzle of balsamic vinegar; set aside to cool.Step 5
Cook bacon on a paper towel-lined, microwave-safe plate on high heat at 1 to 2 minutes intervals until almost crisp. Coarsely chop.Step 6
Brush sides of the pizza crust with a thin layer of olive oil and place on a pizza pan. Spread Alfredo sauce evenly in a thin layer around the crust, leaving about 1/2 inch crust showing around the edge. Sprinkle with Fontina cheese. Spoon tomato-mushroom mixture over top, then caramelized onions. Sprinkle bacon and Gorgonzola crumbles over the vegetables.Step 7
Return to the oven and bake until the top is bubbly and starting to turn golden and the edges are golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
