Oil-cured olives are quite salty, and we love their chewy texture, but you can use brined black olives if you prefer.

  • I do not like olives, so eliminated them. I was skeptical about a half cup of oil (and it did make a lot of smoke in the house when cooking...enough to have to open the door and fan the room), but everyone raved!!! This IS a most delicious recipe...crisp, but soft...and the provolone cheese...yum-o!!! As with any pizza I make, I sprinkled oregano atop it before putting into the oven. My new go-to pizza!
