black olives from pizza places are usually not actually black; they're green olives that have been chemically treated to oxidise quicker.

...which is presumably why they usually taste like o-rings.

Are black-treated green olives cheaper than black olives or what?

i think so, actual black olives aren't very popular so they're harder to get

I just looked, here (Switzerland), black olives from Migros are more mild and throughout black, the real deal. Probably from Tessin or Italy. That's why the coloring of green olives was news to me.
