  7. Distribute sliced Kalamata olives, red onions, and cherry tomatoes on top.
  8. Slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes.

Notes

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Avoid overloading the pizza with toppings to prevent a soggy crust. Pat olives and tomatoes dry before adding them to the pizza.
