Black & White Pizza and California Olives

Did you know that October is National Pizza Month? My family and I love pizza. We eat it once a week. Friday is usually designated as pizza night here. Some times we make it at home and other times we get take out. No matter which way we have it, we love it. This black and white pizza is a great option.

I personally love olives on my pizza. It is one of my favorite toppings and one of my favorite combos is pepperoni with olives! I love the flavor that olives add.

I recently found out that 95% of ripe olives grown in the U.S. come from California growers. These growers operate multi-generational family farms from the inland valleys of California, from San Diego County to far north of Sacramento County.  California Olives gave me this recipe for Black and White Pizza to share with all of you. This pizza is right up my alley!
