Yep.

The marinated kind.

The method was as follows: Take out of jar, put on pizza.

Bake.

Eat.

JimmyMak,
I also sometimes use the marinated artichoke hearts, but first I drain them and chop them a little.  I tried them straight from the jar but the chunks were too big and the pizza was too oily.

Artichokes in brine are quite acidic & tend to add a vinegary taste to the pizza, even if you dry them out.  Artichokes marinated in olive oil are a much better choice.

I have to agree with Matt...

If you have canned 'chokes you are wanting to use, it would probably be better to put them in a pasta salad where the vinegar flavor would be welcomed, rather than on a pizza where the flavor might not.

I love artichokes on pizza but I never use marinated artichokes.

i use the marinated kind for convenience.  i drain and dry them of the oil they're packed in, and then brown them in a pan.  and then on the pizza.  one of my favorite toppings.
