- 1 can (5 oz) tuna in oil or water, drained and flaked
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce or tomato sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you’re using store-bought pizza dough, follow the instructions on the package for the best results. -
Prepare the Pizza Base:
Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone. If you like a crispy crust, you can pre-bake the dough for 5-7 minutes before adding toppings. -
Add the Sauce:
Spread the pizza sauce (or tomato sauce) evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust. -
Top with Tuna and Ingredients:
Drizzle the olive oil over the flaked tuna and scatter it evenly over the sauce. Then, add the sliced red onion and black olives to the pizza. Sprinkle the dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the top for extra flavor. -
Add Cheese:
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza. -
Bake the Pizza:
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted. -
Garnish and Serve:
Once out of the oven, garnish the pizza with fresh basil leaves if desired. Slice and serve hot.
Notes
- Feel free to add other toppings like capers, bell peppers, or fresh tomatoes for more flavor and texture.
- For a healthier option, you can use a cauliflower crust or whole wheat pizza dough.
- You can substitute tuna with canned salmon or even a seafood mix for variety.
