Heat oven to 425°F. Melt butter in 10-inch nonstick skillet until sizzling; add onions, garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened and golden (12 to 15 minutes). Add bell pepper strips; continue cooking, stirring constantly, until peppers are crisply tender (5 minutes).
Place pizza crusts onto large ungreased baking sheet. Sprinkle 1 cup cheese evenly over pizza crusts to within 1/2 inch of edge; top with onion mixture, tomatoes and olives, if desired. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cheese is melted and pizza is heated through.
