I'm allergic to olives, so I substituted sun-dried tomatoes instead. The pizza was still delicious!

This pizza was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add more spices next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pizza turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This pizza was amazing! I loved the combination of flavors and textures. The soppressata was crispy, the olives were briny, and the eggs were perfectly cooked.

The dough was a little tough, but the toppings were delicious. I think I'll try a different dough recipe next time.

This pizza was a little too salty for my taste. I think next time I'll use less soppressata.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of olives. But I'm so glad I did! The olives add a nice salty flavor that balances out the sweetness of the soppressata.
