Italian Artichoke Olive Pesto Pizza

1 pizza crust
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup pitted green olives
1 garlic clove
8 ounce can or jar artichokes, drained
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
2 ounces fresh Mozzarella cheese, sliced thin
1/4 cup fresh baby spinach
1 tablespoon sliced green olives
1/4 cup chopped canned or jarred artichokes
1/4 cup roasted red peppers, thinly sliced

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and arrange the pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza pan.

Put the next 6 ingredients in a food processor and process until you have a smooth sauce consistency, about 30 seconds.

Spread the processed artichoke/olive pesto sauce over the pizza crust. Take a little more olive oil and brush the edges of the pizza crust, then evenly distribute the toppings: mozzarella, spinach, green olives, artichokes, and roasted red peppers.

Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until crust gets golden brown and top is hot and bubbly.
