Treat your ingredients with care...

• Tuna — Use high-quality canned tuna packed in olive oil for the best flavor and texture.
• Mozzarella cheese — Opt for fresh mozzarella if available, as it melts beautifully and adds a creamy texture to the pizza.
• Tomato sauce — Choose a good-quality tomato sauce or make your own by simmering crushed tomatoes with garlic, olive oil, and herbs for extra flavor.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra kick of flavor, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before baking.
• Experiment with different types of cheese, such as fontina or goat cheese, for a unique twist.
• If you prefer a softer crust, brush the edges with olive oil before baking.
• Add some fresh basil leaves or arugula on top of the pizza after it comes out of the oven for a burst of freshness.
• Serve with a drizzle of balsamic glaze for added tanginess.

Serving advice

Serve the Pizza with Tuna and Onion hot, straight from the oven. Cut it into slices and enjoy it as a main course or as part of a pizza party spread. Pair it with a fresh green salad for a complete meal.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, garnish the pizza with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or basil leaves. The vibrant green color will add a pop of freshness to the dish. Serve it on a wooden cutting board or a pizza stone to create an authentic Italian feel.
