RUB pork roast liberally with seasoning and place in a large roasting pan. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
REMOVE pork from refrigerator and bring to room temperature. Preheat oven to 300°F. Add about 1/3 cup water to the pan, cover with foil, and roast for approximately five hours—until meat thermometer reads 180°F. Baste with pan liquids several times during the cooking process. Remove from oven and using two forks, pull pork when cool, moistening with BBQ sauce to taste.
REMOVE pizza dough from refrigerator and bring to room temperature. Preheat oven to 400°F (450°F if using bakery dough).
ADD Extra Virgin Olive Oil to a skillet. Saute onions over medium heat until caramelized. Remove from heat.
SPRINKLE a pizza pan with corn meal to prevent sticking and then spread pizza dough. Follow with a thin layer of BBQ sauce, pulled pork, caramelized onions, and goat cheese. Bake 11-13 mins. (crust will be slightly golden).
SLICE and drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving. *Recipe yields extra pulled pork which makes great pulled pork sandwiches, tacos, or even additional pizzas!
REMOVE from oven. Brush BBQ sauce over the crust and sprinkle with Greek Seasoning. Add arugula and (Parmesan or Romano) cheese, to taste. Bake 3 additional mins., or until arugula is soft and cheese is melted.
