Crispy and smoked Canadian bacon isn’t the only show stopper in this pizza recipe, the green olives make a great addition on the Canadian Bacon & Green Olive Pizza.
As I stated last week, I am back with another pizza recipe to coincide with my recipe for Pizza Dough. So, if you have some pizza dough left or you haven’t made it yet, here is another opportunity.
My husband, Mr. B loves green olives on his pizza. I know black olives are common on pizzas, but you don’t see green olives too often on a pizza menu. If you’ve never tried green olives, I urge you to try it. It adds a nice salty note and is extremely tasty on my recipe for Canadian Bacon & Green Olive Pizza.
Another thing that makes my Canadian Bacon & Green Olive Pizza extra delicious is the fact that I pan fry the Canadian bacon before adding it to the pizza. It makes a big difference.
Spread the dough onto a 14″ pizza pan.
I sprinkled my dough with a pizza topping and then added my home made pizza sauce.
Add the pan fried Canadian bacon.
Add the green olives.
Add lots of mozzarella cheese.
Fresh out of the oven.
The perfect slice.
Canadian Bacon & Green Olive Pizza
Salty Goodness
Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough, see my recipe for pizza dough
- 2 tsp. Pizza Seasoning, optional
- 1/2 - 1 cup pizza sauce
- 12 - 15 slices of Canadian Bacon
- 1 cup green olives, cut in half
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Rub your pizza pan with olive oil. Shape the pizza dough to fit the pizza pan.
- Sprinkle the pizza seasoning over the pizza crust (optional). Spread the pizza sauce on the crust, how much you use depends on how much sauce you like on your pizza.
- In a frying pan over medium heat, pan fry the Canadian Bacon about 2 1/2 minutes per side. Place the Canadian Bacon evenly on the crust.
- Toss the cheese evenly over the pizza. Bake the pizza for 15-20 minutes, depending on how dark you want the top of your pizza to be. I baked mine for 20 minutes.
- Cut the pizza in slices and serve.
Notes
You can use a store bought crust if you like, but a home made crust will taste much better.

All of a sudden I’m hungry! That looks so yummy. I’ve never tried green olives on pizza. I don’t do it often but love making my own crust. What a fun idea!
