Sounds good to me too, but honestly, what need of a recipe is there?

Make a basic pizza dough, prepare the onions (slice and caramelize 
slowly), pit the olives, mix with the other ingredients, (until it be 
enough!) fill and bake.

At least that is what I would do. But then again, I'm not someone who 
ever feels the need for a formal recipe for anything and even when I 
have one, I often stray from them (yes, even when I am baking).

You are absolutely correct.  This is a very simple prep to do without a
recipe.  I seldom actually use recipes, but I do like to take a look at the
original concept to see if they did anything interesting with the obvious.
I collect recipes, whether I use them or not.
