Scale
- 1 ball pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 mozzarella bocconcini (small balls)
- 6 black olive slices (pitted)
- Olive oil (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.

- Spread marinara evenly, leaving a border. Top with shredded mozzarella.
- Place bocconcini evenly and press an olive slice into each for “eyeballs.”
- Transfer pizza (on parchment) to the hot stone/pan. Bake 10–13 minutes until crust is golden and cheese bubbles.
