Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and prepare a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Roll out the pre-made pizza dough into a thin, even layer, and place it on the prepared baking sheet or pizza stone.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Arrange the anchovy fillets and sliced black olives evenly across the pizza.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the pizza toppings, then sprinkle with dried oregano for added flavor.
If desired, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool slightly, then cut into slices.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Quick Pizza with Olives and Anchovies!
