Canadian Bacon & Black Olive Pizza

Have I convinced you to make a pizza yet?  You are either loving all of the endless combinations of pizzas you can make or you are so over it and wish I would get over it too. But I had to share just one more amazing combination.  I never thought of my brother and I as the gourmet types growing up, but I sometimes think I should reconsider that notion when I think back on the fact that canadian bacon and black olive pizza was our favorite to order on those special nights when we had a babysitter.  Sure our other 5 to 10 year old peers were in love with cheese or pepperoni, but among the very few things my brother and I agreed on growing up, this yummy pizza was among them.  So with my new found love of pizza at home, I decided to take a stab at it and it was perfect, and for me, nostalgic.  I also got quite excited when Mr. Hungy said this is his favorite pizza to date and he has become quite the honest critic.  Once again, this pizza was thrown together in minutes on a busy Monday night.  If this combination does not look like your favorite, I hope at least I have convinced you by now that you should try any of your favorite ingredients on this crust and have scrumptious homemade pizza any night of the week.  
From my little kitchen to yours... Enjoy.
