I've worked in multiple pizza places. There's zero need to pre cook any of the toppings in a proper convection 800 degree pizza oven. Trust me, 5 mins at 800 degrees will cook up all the toppings just plenty. I can't imagine any benefit for a pizza place to precook any of the main toppings (mushrooms can be an exception).

I haven't been to Roberto's, do they perhaps have wood fired pizza where the top isn't getting as much heat and they didn't broil it?
Vegetables contain a lot of water. I have found that they can sometimes make a crisp pizza skin soggy. I tend to precook mushrooms and onions(when I'm not too lazy).

But I only cook at about 600F. I can't balance the top/bottom heat at higher temps.
