For the pizza sauce: Crush the whole, peeled, canned tomatoes in a bowl. Squeeze out the juice and discard the tomatoes. To the remaining juice, add the pizza sauce, crushed canned tomatoes, and seasonings. Blend together.
For the caramelized onions: Heat onions and oil in sauté pan over low heat. Add thyme and sugar. Cook until onions turn a rich brown color.
For the spinach: Place chopped garlic and olive oil in a sauté pan. Cook for 1 minute over medium heat. Add wine and simmer for an additional minute. In a separate bowl, place fresh spinach. Pour garlic mixture over fresh spinach and mix until wilted.
For the roasted red bell peppers: Place sliced bell peppers on baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss bell peppers until coated with olive oil. Roast in oven until peppers begin to brown. Toss and repeat until both sides have darkened slightly.
For the pizza dough: Mix all ingredients in bowl. Remove dough from bowl and place on clean board. Sprinkle with additional flour and knead dough until no longer sticky. Stretch and roll out pizza dough. Place pizza dough on pizza stone or baking sheet. Cover dough with pizza sauce, followed by caramelized onions, spinach, roasted red peppers, and remaining pizza toppings. Bake at 550°F for 10-15 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
