Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Brush or mist the unbaked pizza crust with about 2 tablespoon olive oil until evenly coated.
In a sauté pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until translucent, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove from heat, and spread the onion-garlic mixture evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a 1-inch border.
Layer the spinach, artichokes, and chicken into an even layer, then sprinkle with the Mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden around the edges.
Remove from the oven and immediately top with the Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and additional spinach. Serve immediately.
