Instructions
Prepare the oven
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pro tip: A hot oven ensures a crispy pita base.
Prepare the pita
Place the pita breads on the prepared baking sheet, whole or sliced in half.
Pro tip: For thinner crust, use halved pitas.
Add sauce
Spread a generous tablespoon of pizza sauce over each pita, leaving a small border around the edge.
Pro tip: Don't overload with sauce to prevent sogginess.
Add cheese
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Pro tip: Use more cheese if you prefer extra cheesy pizzas.
Top with ingredients
Arrange pepperoni, olives, bell peppers, and mushrooms over the cheese as desired.
Pro tip: Press toppings gently into the cheese to keep them in place.
Season
Sprinkle dried oregano over the top of each pizza.
Pro tip: Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges of the pita are golden brown.
Pro tip: Check after 8 minutes to prevent burning.
Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Slice into quarters if desired.
Pro tip: Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
