How to Make Easy Mediterranean Pizza

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Brush pizza shell (12-inch) with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  3. Spread 1/4 cup pesto sauce evenly over the pizza shell, leaving a 1/2-inch crust edge.
  4. Top with 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, 1/4 cup oil-packed sundried tomatoes (drained), 1/2 cup marinated artichoke hearts (drained), and 2 cups wilted fresh spinach leaves. Evenly distribute toppings.
  5. Sprinkle generously with 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. Place pizza directly on the middle oven rack. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
  7. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Optional: Garnish with 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts.
