Prepare your favorite pizza dough. Roll out to fit inside of a large rimmed sheet pan.
In a large skillet, heat up the olive oil and caramelize the onion, set aside. Meanwhile in another skillet, brown the Italian sausage, drain.
Spread the sun-dried tomato pesto on top of the rolled out pizza dough.
Dollop the ricotta cheese on top of the pesto. Press down with the back of a wooden spoon to spread it a bit, but not well enough to combine with the tomato pesto sauce.
Add the cooked ground sausage to the top of the pesto & ricotta. Add the caramelized onions to the top. Top with the mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated 475° oven for between 13-15 minutes or until the edges of the pizza are nice and golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
