Jackson Pollock is famous for large paint-splattered canvases like his Number 1, which inspired this escarole, provolone, and cherry-tomato pizza. It may look like a splattering of different vegetables — but just like Pollack’s method there is a choreographed application of each item to create this piece (or slice).

If you want to go the Picasso route, deconstruct the classic French Nicoise salad arrange on to the dough. Press sliced raw small potatoes and pitted black olives into the dough, and brush on some olive oil before baking for a Girl before a Mirror feel. Or go two-tone with a Mark Rothko-inspired pizza topped with pulsed yellow and red tomatoes.
Savory provolone, hearty dressed greens, and spicy red-pepper flakes are baked together on the crust. Before serving, sweeten and cool the assertive flavors with strategically placed cherry-tomato halves to give each bite a little sugar. Voilà! A work of art! It’s almost to pretty to eat — but clearly, we are going to devour every piece.
The Jackson Pollock Pizza
1 small head escarole, torn into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
1 to 2 heads Treviso radicchio, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
1 tablespoon vinegar-packed capers, drained
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 recipe Basic Pizza Dough, or 3/4 pound store-bought dough
6 slices provolone
10 cherry tomatoes, halved
Coarse salt
1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees. In a bowl, toss escarole with radicchio, capers, red-pepper flakes, and oil.
2. Form dough (as directed in Basic Pizza Dough recipe) in a 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet. Arrange cheese slices side-by-side to cover dough, then top evenly with escarole mixture. Bake until cooked through and crust is golden on edges and bottom, about 22 minutes.
3. Using a metal spatula, slide pie onto a cutting board. Scatter cherry tomatoes on top, squeezing each to release a bit of juice onto pie. Sprinkle with salt. Slice into 6 pieces and serve.
