Spicy Puttanesca Meat Lover’s Pizza is a thin crust pizza loaded with grilled chicken, ground beef, pastrami and two types of olives.

This is one of the best pizzas I’ve ever made.

I did it with the help of these three gems sent to me by OXO…

Their Non-Stick Pro Pizza Pan (15″)
Complete Grate & Slice Set

and 4″ Pizza Wheel for Nonstick Pans (I’m SO in love with this thing)

The pizza wheel may not look very sharp because it’s made of durable plastic, but it’s actually the best pizza wheel I own now. It’s surprisingly sharp with its tapered edge.

The Grate & Slice set is phenomenal. I’ve used it so many times I can’t keep it out of the dishwasher. It makes shredding cheeses or vegetables a breeze. The plates snap on top of the lid and becomes a bowl to hold your food, and it features cup and millimeter markings so you can measure while you work.

Alternatively, you can position the plates over a bowl but I find it much easier to use the lid because it has non-slip feet and there’s no chance of anything slipping.

I easily sliced through two big jalapeño peppers in mere seconds with this thing. It has both coarse and medium grating options, straight and julienne slicing surfaces. When it comes out of the dishwasher everything fits in slots inside the container and the lid snaps on.

I’m in love.

The pizza pan is definitely nonstick, and a breeze to clean.

Now, onto the pizza.

I added “Puttanesca” to the name because I included two different olives in the toppings, although Puttanesca typically refers to a tomato sauce made with olives, capers and anchovies. Here I added black olives and Castelvetrano olives, which is one of my very favorites.

I used three cheeses – ricotta, Muenster and sharp cheddar.

Keep in mind that I used a little less than half of the dough recipe, and pushed it out pretty thin. Feel free to use as much of the dough and make it as thick as you like.

Three meats adorn this beauty – grilled chopped chicken, ground beef and pastrami. Fresh jalapeños round this out to make one beautiful pizza.
