Greek Pizza

Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and spinach are a heavenly combination fit for the gods. Or, more appropriately, the Greek gods.

Pizza is the ultimate stereotypical college grub, but who wants to eat those greasy, "freshman 15" inducing slices all the time? The mediterranean flavors are a refreshing change of pace. I like to think this pizza was Zeus' pie of choice during his collegiate years. After studying for hours on the proper ways to hurl lightning bolts, smite those who disrespect him, and reign over Mount Olympus, I'm sure he worked up an appetite. But he knew pizza delivered from Little Caesar's wasn't gonna cut it.

Puh-leeze. Caesar was Roman. And he didn't want his divine fab abs to turn into flab abs.

This recipe only requires a few ingredients, but the end result tastes amazing. The salty feta and olives combine nicely with the sweeter tomato sauce.  It comes together just as quickly as it does to pick up the phone and order out, so save some money and enjoy a delicious pizza you made. Zeus will be proud.
