This recipe comes from my mother in laws side of the family. My husband remembers sitting with his grandmother while she made Faggots also known as Onion Pie. Not a traditional american pie but rather an Italian Pizza Pie.
She began by making her pizza dough and then turning it into a delicious Pizza Pie by adding the fillings. I was not able to find any recipe as a starting point on the internet, so I turned to his family and found a couple of cousins that remember their mother making Faggots. Wah Lah! A family recipe to cherish for generations to come.

The ingredients of onions, oil cured pitted black olives and anchovies sounds very peculiar and unappealing, but don't knock it till you try it. It is actually quite good as long as you don't over due a good thing.
Notes and Swaps
I took a short cut and purchased a good pizza dough. This cuts down on the time to making this recipe.
In his grandmother's recipe she would lay the anchovies on top of the pizza before covering with the tip dough. I changed this by stirring them into the onions for more of an equal distribution of flavors.
Don't add any salt, between the salty anchovies and salty olives you do not need any extra salt.
Enjoy!
From the bottom of my heart..............
