Sprinkle garlic over sauce, if desired. Evenly spread chicken and bacon over sauce. Top with cheese, and then the sliced red onions.
2 cups Mozzarella cheese, ½ Cup Red Onion
Put pizza back in oven and bake 15 minutes, until cheese starts to brown. Remove from oven and cool a few minutes before slicing and serving. When serving, add salt & pepper to taste.
Stovetop Method: To reheat pizza, I have used my cast iron and a non-stick skillet; they both work. Just preheat over medium-high heat add a few slices of pizza and cover. The toppings will get delicious and gooey, while the crust will crisp nicely again.Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the pizza to the pan or a baking sheet. Bake for 5-7 minutes until the toppings are hot and the cheese is melty.Microwave Method: If you are in a hurry and are not concerned with a soggy crust, then this method might be for you. Just place it on a microwave-safe plate, cover and cook on high for 50-70 seconds. It will be hot, but in my opinion, not nearly as good as the stovetop or oven reheating methods.
