Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
If using store-bought pizza dough, follow the package instructions for rolling it out. Otherwise, on a lightly floured surface, roll out your homemade dough to about 12 inches in diameter.
Place the rolled-out dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel if you're using a pizza stone.
Brush the dough evenly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ensuring the edges are well-coated to prevent them from drying out during baking.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and evenly distribute them over the oiled surface of the dough.
Spread 1 cup of tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edge for the crust.
Slice cherry tomatoes in half and scatter them across the pizza dough.
Slice the black olives and red onion, then add them to the pizza as well.
Drain and rinse the anchovy fillets, then evenly distribute them across the pizza along with the capers.
Sprinkle the oregano, salt, and pepper over the top to taste.
Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are bubbly and cooked through.
Once out of the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, tearing larger leaves into smaller pieces as desired.
Slice the pizza into wedges and serve hot, enjoying the perfect combination of anchovies, herbs, and a flavorful, dairy-free experience.
