Steps:

1 Prepare the dough and sauce, if necessary. Then, 30 to 60 minutes before baking, place a pizza stone, unglazed quarry tiles, or a baking sheet on a rack in the lowest level of the oven. Turn on the oven to the maximum--500° or 550°F. 2 Spread the dough with a thin layer of the sauce, leaving a 1/2-inch border all the way around. Arrange the anchovies on top. Sprinkle with the oregano and scatter the garlic on top. 3 Open the oven and gently slide the dough off the peel by tilting it toward the back of the stone and shaking it gently forward and then back. Bake the pizza 6 to 7 minutes or until the crust is crisp and browned. 4 Transfer to a cutting board and drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil. Cut into wedges and serve immediately. Make more pizzas with the remaining ingredients. VARIATION: Before baking, top this pizza with thinly sliced pepperoni and drained pickled hot peppers. From "1,000 Italian Recipes."
