directions
- Preheat the oven to 500. Preheat a pizza stone.
- In a small bowl, combine the 1 tablespoon of olive oil with the minced garlic and let stand.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough to form a 12-inch round, 1/4 inch thick. Transfer the round to a lightly floured pizza peel.

- Scatter the onion slices over the round; top with the mozzarella and savory.
- Arrange the squash slices on top in a single layer, overlapping them slightly.
- Dot with the crumbled goat cheese.
- Slide the pizza onto the hot stone and bake for about 5 minutes, until the bottom is crisp and the squash is slightly browned. Transfer the pizza to a work surface.
- Sprinkle with the walnuts and drizzle with olive oil. Cut into wedges and serve.
