1 pound pizza dough, thawed if frozen
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
1/2 white onion, thinly sliced
6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled

Transfer to a broiler-proof rimmed baking sheet and top with mozzarella, onion, and bacon; season with salt and pepper. Bake until dough is cooked through and edges are golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
Heat broiler. Top pizza with escarole, drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Broil until escarole is wilted and slightly charred in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve.
