During college, I had a major moment with pita pizzas—they’re quick, budget-friendly, totally customizable, and can be made with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Recently, they’ve made their way back into my working girl meal rotation, and they’re just as good as I remember—maybe even better now that I’ve had years of practice with concocting flavors!

Lately, this Greek pita pizza recipe is what I’ve been enjoying on the reg for work lunches. It’s loaded with all the crave-worthy Mediterranean flavors—briny olives, marinated artichokes, salty feta, and zippy pepperoncini, plus spinach for some easy greens. The best part? It's ready in less than 15 minutes (!!) and so satisfying, making it a perfect go-to meal for busy work-from-home days or even weeknight meals, whether it's in your air fryer or your oven.

BTW, if you’re a parent looking for something a less processed than what’s in the frozen pizza aisle, pita pizzas are your ticket. Olives might not be the most popular, but in general, these are great for lunches when kiddos are at home in summer or on school breaks. Plus, they can fun assembling them on their own! Let’s get some pita pizzas in the oven.

Key Ingredients & Notes

Ingredients needed to make Greek pita pizzas.
  • Pita bread - We want the whole pitas (not pockets... do they still even make those??). I love using whole wheat pitas here for more fiber and protein!
  • Pizza sauce - Either use homemade or your favorite store bought. When we make homemade, we typically use my roasted red pepper pizza sauce or 5-ingredient marinara. When we use store bought, we always love Delallo sauces, plus any local ones we can find.
  • Cheese - I like to use a combination of mozzarella and feta because mozz is more melty, and feta adds that unique saltiness. Add parm if you want, too!
  • Toppings - For this recipe, we're going Greek (think briny, salty, oregano, veggies), but this is where you can use what you have on hand, or adapt you produce seasonally. If you have olive haters in your household (we do; I'm an olive LOVER though, gimme all the olives please!), feel free to omit.

Note: These pita pizzas are an excellent source of vegetarian protein, but feel free to add more protein if desired! White beans, chickpeas, chicken, Italian sausage... all would be delicious.

Let's Make These Pita Pizzas

Pita bread brushed with olive oil.

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Brush pita tops with olive oil.

Step 2: Sauce up your pitas! I like to get my sauce all the way to the pita edge.

Step 3: Layer on mozzarella, then all the rest of the toppings.

Step 4: Transfer prepared pizzas to a sheet pan and bake at 400 degrees for 5-7 minutes, or until mozzarella is melty. Top with parmesan, red pepper flakes, and any fresh herbs you like! Maybe even a scoop of walnut pesto?

Using your air fryer? Simply cook the pizza at 375 for 4-5 minutes, or until mozzarella is fully melted.

Sustainability & Low Waste Tips

  • Make it seasonal. Many of the ingredients in these Greek pita pizzas are shelf stable and can be enjoyed any time of year. But as far as veggies go, feel free to change up the produce according to season! Kale is a great winter alternative to spinach, while roasted bell peppers or oven roasted tomatoes would be great during summer.
  • Use it up! Leftover roasted sweet potatoes in the fridge, or any roasted veggies? Leftover grilled chicken from dinner last night? Put 'em on the pizza! Because pita pizzas are so versatile, they're a great way to repurpose leftovers so they don't go bad.
  • Pizza toppings side salad. I tend to over-prepare toppings because I want everyone to have enough, so I almost always have odds and ends sitting on the cutting board after. Whenever this happens, I make a salad with spinach as the base, all the remaining toppings as add-ins, and a dressing of olive oil and pepperoncini brine.

Description

 

These easy Greek pita pizzas are a quick and delicious way to get healthy pizza on the table! With salty feta, briny olives, marinated artichokes, and zippy pepperoncini, each bite is packed with bold Mediterranean flavors. Ready in less than 15 minutes, they’re perfect for busy weeknights or easy lunches.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 pieces of pita bread (I love whole wheat!)
  • ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup favorite pizza sauce
  • ⅔ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons pepperoncini, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons kalamata olives, chopped
  • ¼ cup feta, crumbled
  • A couple marinated artichokes, chopped (canned will also work!)
  • A few fresh spinach leaves, roughly chopped
  • Sprinkle of dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • Optional: parmesan, red pepper flakes, and/or fresh herbs for serving


Instructions

  1. Preheat & prep. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees, and optionally line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Brush a thin layer of olive oil onto both sides of each pita.
  2. Sauce & toppings. Divide sauce and spread onto each pita, getting sauce all the way to the edge. Divide the mozzarella between the two pitas before adding other toppings. Then, top the pitas with red onion, pepperoncini, kalamata olives, feta, artichokes, and spinach leaves. Sprinkle each pizza with a bit of dried oregano or Italian seasoning.
  3. Bake. Transfer pita pizzas to the sheet pan and bake at 400 degrees for 5-7 minutes, or until mozzarella is nice and melty. Cut into slices and serve with parm and red pepper flakes!

Notes

  1. Toppings. Make this pizza yours! Feel free to use more or less of any of the toppings, or omit ones you don't like. Depending on your pita sizes, you may need more or less cheese to get full coverage of the bread. Whenever I prepare too many toppings, I love to make a side salad out of the remaining toppings with spinach as a base, and little olive oil and pepperoncini brine as the dressing. Delish!
  2. Air fryer instructions. You might only have room for one pizza, but if you have room for two, go for it! Cook pizza in your air fryer at 375 degrees for up to 5 minutes. The pizza is done when mozzarella is melted.
  3. Cook time. I would check on the pitas at 5 minutes to see if they're done to your liking! Sometimes I keep them going for 7 minutes, but these babies cook really quickly.
