Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place peeled and sliced tomatoes in a colander in the sink in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt; allow to sit for 10 minutes.
Use a paper towel to pat dry tomatoes, making sure most of the juice is gone. Wet and juicy tomatoes will make the pie soggy.
Layer the tomato slices, basil and onion in the pre-baked pie shell; season with salt and pepper.
Combine grated Mozzarella and Cheddar cheeses and mayonnaise together; spread mixture on top of the tomatoes; sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow pie to rest for at least 15 minutes before cutting.
Serve.

* A homemade pie shell tastes better but a store bought one will work too. For a homemade shell, put down parchment paper and pie weights on the shell and bake 15-20 minutes. When using a store bought crust, bake a few minutes less than the package directions.
