- 4 Greek-style pitas or naan
- 2 cups pizza sauce
Deluxe
- 3 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup pepperoni
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup green pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup red onion, diced
Margherita
- 4 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
- 12 slices salami
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1/2 cup basil leaves
Tex Mex
- 4 cups cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup red pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup corn
- 1/2 cup red onion, diced
- 1 jalapeno, sliced
- Cilantro, for garnish
Preheat oven to 400 F. Add pitas to oven for 3-4 minutes while prepping toppings to lightly toast them.
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).
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.
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.
Cut into 4 pieces with a pizza cutter, then serve and enjoy!
NOTE: Nutritional info is for one deluxe pita pizza per person. All pizzas will be approximately the same in terms of nutrition but may vary slightly.
Try out different flavour ideas like Greek, BBQ chicken, Hawaiian, pesto and more.
Store the leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F.
Freeze any cooked unsliced pizzas for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen in the oven for 25 minutes at 375°F.
