Ingredients
-
2 large pita breads (preferably whole wheat or plain)
-
½ cup tomato sauce (or marinara)
-
½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
-
½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
-
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
-
1 small bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
1 small zucchini or cucumber, thinly sliced (optional)
-
A handful of cherry tomatoes, halved
-
8–10 black or green olives, sliced

1 tablespoon olive oil

½ teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon dried basil or fresh basil leaves

Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the pita breads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. Assemble the Pizza
Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over each pita. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Top with sliced onions, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, zucchini (if using), and olives. Add the crumbled feta cheese on top. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil, and sprinkle dried oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper.
3. Bake
Bake the pita pizzas in the preheated oven for about 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the pita are lightly crisp.
4. Add Fresh Toppings (Optional)
After baking, top with a handful of arugula or baby spinach for a fresh touch. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a light drizzle of tahini for extra flavor.
5. Serve
Slice and serve warm. It’s delicious on its own or with a side of hummus or tzatziki.
