I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of anchovies, but I'm so glad I did! The anchovies add a really nice flavor to the pizza.

I made this pizza last night and it was a hit! My family loved it. I used a pre-made crust to save time, but I'm sure it would be even better with a homemade crust.
