Let dough rest: Place pizza dough on the counter at room temperature for about 20 minutes to relax.

Cook beef: In a large skillet, brown ground beef over medium heat. Add taco seasoning and water as directed on the package. Simmer according to instructions. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare crust: Press or roll out the pizza dough onto a 12–16 inch pizza pan, stone, or a 9×13 baking sheet (depending on crust thickness preference).

Pre-bake crust: Bake the dough for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven.

Mix and spread sauce: In a small bowl, stir together refried beans and salsa. Spread a thin, even layer on the partially baked crust. (You may not need all of the mixture if using a smaller pan.)

Assemble pizza: Layer the seasoned beef, shredded cheese, and olives over the bean mixture.

Final bake: Return pizza to the oven and bake for another 5–7 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Add fresh toppings: Remove from oven and top with diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, and a drizzle of taco sauce or a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
