Instructions

Preheat your oven to 500 degrees F. Grease a pizza pan, or set a pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven.

Shape the pizza dough to fit the stone or the pan. If cooking on a stone, prepare the dough on wax paper on a cutting board, so you can easily slide it onto the stone to bake.
1 pizza dough
Drizzle the prepared pizza dough with the olive oil. Spread the caramelized onion and bacon mixture evenly over the dough. Add the grated mozzarella cheese, the basil leaves, and the black olives.

Notes

If you are in a hurry, use a premade pizza dough ball.
Use a pizza stone for a nice crisp bottom crust.
