About our homemade black olive and pecorino pizza recipe

The concept of pizza originates from Italy and is believed to have been created in Naples, the word pizza was believed to originate in central or southern Italy. There is also evidence of leavened bread and different topping also eaten in Persia and Greece.

For our pizza we used pre-prepared dough found in the chill cabinet in most supermarket, you can also used pizza bases mixes.

Our pizza recipe is a delicious tomato based pizza, we use tinned cherry tomatoes for that extra tomato flavour, we grate the onion so that the onion disappears into the sauce. The sauce is flavoured with garlic, oregano and a little chilli.

The tomato base is topped with grated pecorino and mozzarella cheese and then sprinkled with finely sliced red onions and chopped black olives
