Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the pizza crust packaging. If using a homemade crust, preheat to 400°F.

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Distribute the leftover pulled pork evenly over the cheese.
Scatter the sliced red onion over the pulled pork.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top.
