Craving a slice with a kick? Spicy Chili Olive Pizza with Fresh Mozzarella delivers bold, fiery flavour with gooey, creamy mozzarella and the salty punch of olives—all elevated by a drizzle of chili oil. It’s your go-to for pizza night with attitude.

INGREDIENTS:

1 ball pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
½ cup tomato pizza sauce
1 cup fresh mozzarella, torn into pieces
¼ cup green or black olives (slice the olives)
1–2 tbsp chili olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional: red pepper flakes, for extra heat

GARNISH:

Fresh basil leaves
Extra chili olive oil, for drizzling after baking

METHOD:

1. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.

2. Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a baking tray or pizza peel.

3. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the base, then scatter fresh mozzarella and sliced olives evenly.

4. Drizzle with chili olive oil, sprinkle with oregano, and season with a little salt and pepper.

5. Bake for 10–14 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.

6. Remove from the oven, drizzle with more chili olive oil, and top with fresh basil.

7. Slice and serve hot—this one’s got serious heat and flavour.
