You all know I have a serious love for pizza. I made it at home at least once a month and every single time I make it I try to do something just a little bit different. This pizza was born out of my new found love of puttanesca sauce AND my need to create a gourmet potluck item for my friends at Anolon. I personally think pizza is the best potluck item because all you have to do it pull it out of the oven, cut it up and let the feasting begin!
PLUS because this baby is packed full of flavor you’ll be getting all the praise!
Now, if you’re thinking “what in the heck is on this pizza?” I’m happy to help! It’s ground beef combined with capers, black olives, basil, tomatoes and artichoke hearts. Man oh man, it’s beyond delicious! I also sprinkled it with crushed red pepper because I’m always a fan of a little heat. Oh, and don’t skimp on that sprinkling on of basil at the end. Totally worth it!
You should also know that you don’t need a fancy pizza stone to make pizza at home. All you need is a nice non-stick baking sheet and some parchment paper or a Silpat liner. For this pizza, I used my new favorite baking sheet from Anolon. I love the silicone grips because it makes pulling it out of the oven a dream!
Now, get in the kitchen and make this pizza! It’s 100% worth it!

What a unique pizza combo! I love puttanesca but have never had it with beef. OR on pizza!

Hello Friday Night Pizza! Best night of the week when it comes to dinner!
This pizza is right up my alley! Love the spicy take on it!
Seriously!! That looks amazing. Love the flavors! I am also a pizza girl – never made the same pizza twice, either. 😉 There are just too many possibilities!
What a great idea. Loving the flavors and the artichoke in this. A must try pizza recipe for sure!
This is such a genius idea for a pizza topping! I’ll definitely be trying it on our next pizza night (which is weekly in this house).
You can never go wrong with pizza and this is perfection! My husband wants this now 🙂
We love our pizza nights and will need to add this into the rotation!
Mmmm capers and artichokes! We must be soul (food) mates haha! I do like some heat myself – sprinkling pizza with a little bit of crushed red pepper works for me 🙂
So much goodness on this pizza!! I love how hearty it is. Definitely will up our pizza game.
Yep, sign me up for a piece or three of this beauty!
Droooooool. This pizza sounds incredible. I love, love, love artichoke hearts on pizza.
