Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Scatter the shredded pork on top of the cheese, followed by the sliced red onion and pickles.
- Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

- Slice the pizza and serve it hot. Enjoy!
