Greek Pita Pizza
These Greek pita pizzas are the perfect quick & easy dinner or shareable snack! They’re a great way to use up the veggies in your fridge and they come together in a snap!
If you’re looking for an easy recipe that will also help you clean out the extra veggies in your fridge, these little pita pizzas are the perfect solution! For this recipe, I leaned into Greek flavors with feta and olives, but you could totally change up the flavors based on what you’re craving!
I topped them with roasted red pepper hummus, but any hummus works great. I used a combination of bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, and tomato, but again feel free to use what you have available. If you’re missing a veggie or two, don’t worry about it! There are so many flavors in these pita pizzas that it’s easy to swap in what you have. If you like this recipe, be sure to try my paneer pizza and my spinach and feta flatbread, too!
Ingredients & Substitutions
- Pita bread– I used 8″ whole wheat pita but you can use any kind you like. You can also make your own homemade flatbread in an air fryer in just a few minutes! Or try using vegan naan as the base.
- Olive oil- I used a little olive oil to help make the pitas crispy. You can use a spray olive oil for a lighter option.
- Hummus– You can use any kind of hummus you like. I used roasted red pepper hummus but this recipe is also great with this za’atar spiced hummus. Or for a high protein option, try my edamame hummus.
- Vegetables– I used a combination of cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion. Feel free to use whichever vegetables you have on hand.
- Feta– I prefer to use a block of feta cheese, which has a better texture than pre-crumbled feta cheese.
- Olives– I used sliced black olives but any kind of olives can be substituted.
How to Make Pita Pizzas
The Best Pita Bread
Store bought pita bread can be a little bit lackluster, and it’s best if you can find freshly baked pita. Brushing it with olive oil and baking it for just a few minutes can also bring out the best flavor, even in a standard store bought pita. If you can’t get your hands on fresh, fluffy pita bread, try using store bought naan. It tends to be a bit softer and has a little bit more flavor. Since you don’t need a pocket for these pizzas, traditional pita isn’t totally necessary.
The Best Hummus
My favorite store bought hummus is the Ithica brand hummus. I love the lemon dill, lemon beet, and garlic hummus. All of their flavors are great! You can also find CAVA hummus at some Whole Foods stores, which is a really great option. Of course, I think homemade hummus is the best, so if you have time, make it from scratch!
