For Marinara, Capers and Olives Anchovy Pizza

Notes
*Use your favorite pizza dough or this recipe. Budget about 4-5 oz of dough per individual 10 inch pizza if thinly rolled.
We recommend thin crust, but if you'd like a thicker crust, budget for more pizza dough weight-wise so that it will stretch out to 10 inches with a greater thickness.
NOTE: Pizza dough weighs differently based on density.
**This is based on 2 oz tins as typical weight. You may want to use all the fillets to top a single pizza or a bit less, depending on your taste preferences.
