The Best Pita Pizza {3 Ways!}

This is the Best Pita Pizza Recipe with three flavours: deluxe, margherita and Tex Mex. They’re great for meal prep and freeze beautifully!

Ingredients and substitutions

• Greek-style pitas – naan or sandwich thins can also be used for the crust. You can also feel free to use your favourite gluten-free pita or naan bread.
• Pizza sauce – jarred marinara or spaghetti sauce would be good too. If you don’t want chunky sauce, puree it in a blender for a few seconds. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to make it a little spicier.

Deluxe

• Mozzarella cheese – substitute for any shredded melty cheese of your choice.
• Pepperoni – you can leave this off if need be.
• Sliced mushrooms – leave this off or swap out for another vegetable of your choice.
• Green pepper – use another colour bell pepper instead.
• Red onion – white onion would also work.

Margherita

• Mozzarella cheese – substitute for any shredded melty cheese of your choice.
• Salami – swap for another kind of meat like pepperoni or leave off the meat entirely.
• Tomato – red peppers would also be good or you can leave this off altogether.
• Basil leaves – fresh basil is best. Make sure not to add it until after your pizza has cooked.

Tex Mex

• Cheddar cheese – substitute for another cheese of your choice like a Tex Mex blend or Monterey Jack.
• Red pepper – swap out for another colour red pepper.
• Corn – fresh corn is best but thawed frozen corn can be used in a pinch.
• Red onion – white onion would also be good.
• Jalapeno – use jarred pickled jalapenos if you don’t have any fresh jalapenos. Leave the jalapenos off if you don’t like spice.
• Cilantro  – leave this off if you’re not a fan of cilantro.

How to make pita pizza

Step 1: Prep the pitas and toppings.

Preheat oven to 400 F. Add pitas to oven for 3-4 minutes while prepping toppings to lightly toast them.

Step 2: Add the sauce and cheese.

Meanwhile, prepare toppings of choice. If making the Deluxe pita pizza, saute the mushrooms in a small frying pan until they release liquid to avoid a soggy pizza (this step is optional but I find it's worth it to avoid mushiness).

Step 3: Add your toppings.

Remove pitas from oven, top with sauce and divide cheese of choice among pizzas. Divide toppings of choice, then add pizzas to a parchment-lined baking sheet. NOTE: I find you can fit 2 pizzas per tray. If making the Margherita or Tex Mex pizzas, leave the herbs (basil & cilantro) off the pizzas.

Step 4: Bake the pizzas.

Bake pizzas for 12-15 minutes until cheese is melted and toppings are cooked. Add herbs of choice if using (basil or cilantro) after pizzas are finished cooking.

Step 5: Cut into pieces.

Cut into 4 pieces with a pizza cutter.

Step 6: Serve and enjoy!
