Pizza with olives, capers, and broccoli is an exquisite blend of Mediterranean flavors and Italian culinary mastery. This recipe draws inspiration from traditional Neapolitan pizza, enhancing it with a unique combination of salty capers, spicy olives, and tender broccoli. The dough absorbs the aromas of tomato sauce, basil, and pepper, giving each slice a rich flavor with a slight tang and pleasant cheesy aftertaste. Grated Parmesan adds zest while arugula provides freshness and a crunchy texture. This recipe is suitable for cozy family dinners as well as festive gatherings, especially when paired with a glass of good white wine. The perfect balance of ingredients makes this pizza a true gastronomic delight.
