I have got to get off this darn computer and work on testing recipes for next week's party, but.... Just ran across this recipe and it looks like it's right up our collective alley!! 
Oven "Fried" Pizza
Basic Pizza Dough
8 tablespoons olive oil
Lamb Sausage and Caramelized Onions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a cast iron skillet large enough to hold 1 of the pizza rounds, heat about 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, turn heat off and add 1 of the pizza rounds.
Use a spatula to press gently on the top of the round to keep it relatively flat as it cooks. When you see it is slightly brown on the underside, season the top lightly with salt and pepper and flip the round on its second side.
Season it with salt and pepper and top with the onion sausage-onion mixture and place the skillet in the center of the oven until the pizza has finished cooking, 5 to 8 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough and topping.
Tip for topping the pizza: Brushing the dough with olive oil can create a barrier that will help to prevent the topping from making the crust soggy.
Yield: 4 (6-inch) pizzas
Lamb Sausage and Caramelized Onions Topping:
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
12 ounces spicy lamb sausage, casings removed
2 small red onions, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon honey
1 cup mozzarella cheese, cubed
1/2 cup basil leaves, stemmed, washed and dried
In a medium skillet over high heat, heat the olive oil and cook the sausage, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks, until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the sausage from the pan onto a paper-towel lined plate. Drop the onions into the pan and cook over medium heat until caramelized, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the honey.
Add the caramelized onions to the pizza fried pizza dough and top with mozzarella, sausage, basil, and a drizzle of good extra-virgin olive oil
Yield: 4 (6-inch pizzas)
