As you can tell, this pizza does not use any red sauce nor any olive oil on top of the pizza.
-
2
This pizza stands out on its own and does not require any type of sauce, trust me.
-
3
Start by preheating your oven to 475 F. Place a large circular baking sheet or pizza pan into the oven to preheat while you make your pizza.
-
4
Lightly flour your dough ball, then begin pressing it out to the shape and size of your pizza pan with your fingers.
-
5
Flip and repeat.
-
6
Use a rolling pin if you desire to get the dough working, then begin to toss it.
-
7
If desired, check out the related blog link for a video of how to toss pizza dough.

Its fun, and the kids love seeing it thrown into the air.
-
9
Once your dough is ready, and you have your desired thickness, remove the pizza pan out of the oven with your kitchen mitts.
-
10
The pan will be really hot, so be ready to place it onto a wood cutting board or a potholder.
-
11
Drizzle the olive oil into the pizza pan and tilt the pan to make sure you get full coverage before placing your dough onto it.
-
12
I normally use a pizza stone, however I wanted to experiment with using the oiled pan.
-
13
In all honesty, I think the oiled pan worked really well and had a nice crispness to the crust.
-
14
I think my wife agreed.
-
15
Carefully place the dough onto the pan, keeping in mind it is really hot, and arrange the dough so that it fits the pan.
-
16
Now for the toppings.
-
17
Scatter the garlic on top of the pizza, then the shaved Parmesan cheese.
-
18
I got those nice ribbons my using my microplane to shave the cheese.
-
19
Top with the fresh jalapeno peppers, then the olives, then the blue cheese, and then finish with the small amount of mozzarella cheese.
-
20
Place the pan into the oven and cook for about 18-24 minutes, or until the cheese is golden.
-
21
Remove from the oven, slice and serve.
-
22
This olive and blue cheese pizza is unlike any other.
-
23
You get an awesome sharpness from the Parmesan and blue cheese, and this amazing brininess from the olives.
-
24
When combined with the spicy garlic and jalapeno peppers, well, all I can say is have someone standing by to pull you away from the pizza.

If you are looking to make something unique and different, give this pizza a try.
