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.
Most olives in supermarkets are like that.

It's the same fruit, there's no 'black' of 'green' olives. It's just picked while unripe because it's cheaper to process.
The blacks are more ripe tho. And the greens in brine, against the bitterness.
Edit: but most are colored with E579 or E585.
