to rephrase the Q, I am not looking for an onion alternative, but rather something else to do with those red peppers

My favorite pizza is grilled chicken, ricotta cheese, roasted red peppers and pesto.
Roast the peppers like the others say, then cut them into long strips for the pizza.
One idea: I've found roasting red peppers slowly in the oven (as opposed to over a gas flame) leaves you with an intensely sweet, rich pulp -- a great base for a pasta sauce or a savory jam. At 425 F, whole peppers might take upwards of an hour for the skins to char & separate from the flesh; or you can increase the heat for speedier cooking. Here's a recipe for red pepper jam alongside a grilled cheese sandwich: http://bit.ly/9zZGaL
Or for something completely different: Red Pepper & Fennel (Seed) Scones w/ Manchego http://bit.ly/docqVz
