You don't know what real pizza is until you've eaten Pizza Napoli! The crispy-spicy classic is part of every good pizzaiolo's standard repertoire for a reason. So, for your next pizza party: Bring on the anchovies, add some capers, onions, and olives! This unbeatable quartet is guaranteed to bring tears of joy to your guests' eyes. Admittedly - Pizza Napoli is not for the faint-hearted. Only those who like it nice and salty and really intense are worthy of this pizza grenade from the pizza stone!
MY TIP:
Of course, your Pizza Napoli deserves only the best! Real black olives are king here, but unfortunately hard to come by. Most of the time, you only get the blackened ones - green olives that are dyed with iron gluconate. If you want naturally ripened black olives, it's worth a trip to the gourmet store and also checking the label. If iron gluconate is involved, it must be declared as E579.

Preparation in 7 steps
Prepare gas grill, oven, or pizza oven with pizza stone for maximum direct heat.
Peel onions, halve them, and cut into fine strips. (If necessary, halve) the olives depending on their size and taste.
Divide the dough into equal pieces and roll them out into rounds on a floured work surface to the size of the pizza peel. Dust the bottoms with flour and place the dough balls on a floured pizza peel.
Spread 1/4 of the sauce with a spoon from the inside out on the dough. Leave about 2 cm of edge.
Tear the mozzarella into pieces and distribute 1/2 ball on the sauce. Top the pizza with 1/4 of the onions, capers, olives, and anchovies each.
Bake pizza in the gas grill (approx. 5 minutes), oven (approx. 8 minutes), or pizza oven (approx. 3 minutes) until the cheese is melted and the edges are crispy brown.
If you are preparing the pizza in a pizza oven, you need to turn it 180 degrees after half of the baking time so that it browns evenly.
Season ready-made pizza to taste with freshly ground pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
