this recipe

During college, I had a major moment with pita pizzas. They're quick (15 minutes!), budget-friendly, and perfect for using up fresh, seasonal ingredients. So naturally, they've made their way back into my working girl meal rotation, and maybe they're even better now?? I guess more than a decade of cooking gets you some good flavor ideas.

This Greek pita pizza is my current go-to version right now. It's loaded with the best Mediterranean flavors like briny olives, marinated artichokes, salty feta, and zippy peperoncini. And while it's vegetarian as written, it would be so good with some shredded peperoncini chicken or Italian sausage.

And if you have kids, pita pizzas are so engaging and fun! They're ready for toppings, so your littles can be up there with you at the cutting board, grabbing toppings and designing their own lunch or dinner.

Key Ingredients & Notes

• 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.

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!
• 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.
