Pizza with Anchovies & Capers - Video Recipe

Nothing is fresh or homemade in this recipe of Pizza with Anchovies & Capers, but that doesn't mean it's not one tasty bite.

I find cheap frozen individual Pizza at my local.Dollar Tree. Frozen Celeste Cheese Pizza is my canvas and canned Anchovies with Capers are my paint box. 

You can use any favorite Pizza including one's topped with pepperoni, Italian sausage, bell pepper, onions, and olives - go for it.

My local Ralphs Grocers has a Monday special of large pizzas with premium ingredients for $6 each and they are loaded.


I like Anchovies on my Pizza, but many do not. The trick is not to add too many anchovies as they can overwhelm other ingredients.

For my individual Pizza, I added 2 whole Anchovies, and because the Capers were wrapped in Anchovies I added Capers, too.

The can of Anchovies were salty and slicked with olive oil, just the way I like them. They are messy to handle. 

Once opened, this type of canned cooked Anchovies can be stored covered in the refrigerator for weeks, so you can unroll the deliciousness over a few Pizza Nights. 

Celeste Pizza does the job. They are minimalist mini-masterpieces. The crust is thin, the tomato sauce is tangy, and the cheese melts fine. Nothing to complain about here. 

I do sometimes add a few extras like sliced black olives and a little extra shaved parmesan - all frozen pizzas can do with a little more cheese.

For a regular large frozen Pizza, I would add 4 to 6 whole Anchovies. You can follow the regular Frozen Pizza baking directions, as Anchovies do not cover too much real estate, so baking time is not affected.

I always have a Frozen Pizza in the freezer and a can of Anchovies in the kitchen cabinet. This is College Student, Bachelor, or Bachelorette Cuisine, nothing to it, and a no-brainer recipe for anyone, and done anytime.

Ingredients

  • 1 Frozen Pizza - I used a single-serving pizza with cheese. Okay to use your favorite pizza.
  • Anchovies with Capers - 1 or 2 for a small Individual Pizza. I got mine from a can of anchovies with capers in olive oil.

Directions

Just add as many anchovies with capers as you like to your favorite frozen pizza. I added 2 anchovies and 2 capers to mine - it's okay to start with one (half the anchovie).

Follow the box directions. Usually, bake at 400 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes. 

I like to bake mine at 350 degrees so it is easier to watch the browning and cheese melting. With very hot temperatures it's too easy to burn and dry out a frozen pizza. Just add a couple extra minutes of baking time.

For a large frozen pizza, I will add more anchovies and capers.
