Steps:
- Place a pizza stone on floor of gas oven (remove racks) or bottom rack of electric oven. Preheat oven to at least 500 degrees for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, arrange onion and lemon slices over dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Distribute cheeses evenly; top with rosemary. Season with pepper; drizzle with oil.
- Switch oven to broiler setting. Align edge of peel with edge of stone. Tilt peel, jerking it gently to move pizza. When edge of pizza touches stone, quickly pull back peel to transfer pizza to stone. (Do not move pizza.) Broil until bubbles begin to form in crust, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce temperature to 500 degrees, and bake until crust is crisp and golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes more. (If not using broiler, bake pizza 10 to 15 minutes total.) Remove pizza from oven using peel. Slice and serve.

Steps:
- Place pizza dough on a lightly floured work surface, and press into a rectangle. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the dough to within 1/2 inch of the crust edges (you will not need all of the sauce), and top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
- Evenly distribute pepperoni and onion over the cheeses, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
- Tightly roll up the dough to form a log, pinching the seam together to seal. Transfer dough to the refrigerator for 10 minutes to make slicing easier.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a serrated knife, slice the log into 12 individual rolls and set onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until pizza rolls are golden brown in color and the cheese has melted, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Serve pizza rolls with the remaining warmed marinara as a dipping sauce.

LEMON PIZZA
Lemon pizza not only sounds good; it also looks and tastes as sunny as summer. You may, of course, knead your own dough, but if you don't have the hours for it to rise, why not try the frozen variety? Roll it out to the thickness you like -- thin or Sicilian -- blanket it with lemon slices and bake for a few minutes. The lemon will crisp and intensify slightly in flavor. (They must be cut very thin.) When it comes out of the oven, just spread some crème fraîche on it and cover it with way too much salmon caviar or perhaps a little less Sevruga. Even if it seems a little prematurely retro -- say, from the 80's, which any day now will be the new 50's -- the salmon roe makes a more colorful and lighter presentation.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees and roll dough out to roughly 12 inches in diameter and very thin -- about 1/6-inch thick. Place on a greased sheet pan, or heat a pizza stone in the oven. Cover surface of dough with lemon slices, overlapping them very slightly. Sprinkle with pepper and olive oil. Transfer pizza to hot pizza stone or place the sheet pan in the oven.
- Bake until dough is brown and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. (If the lemons brown too quickly, cover the surface of the dough with foil until dough is cooked through.)
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let cool. Spread crème fraîche over the surface and dot with caviar. Cut into wedges and serve.

- Be sure to use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
