Pita Pizza


So needless to say, I'm still living off my finds at the farmers market last week. But I had really been craving pizza lately. But didn't want a whole pie. So went to my local grocery store and found some whole wheat pocket-less pitas and had a great, and healthy lunch. The salad is romaine lettuce with tomato and peppers, all from the farmers market. The pizza is turkey pepperoni (who knew) peppers, thinly sliced tomatoes, with freshly shredded Parmesan, habanero, and garlic cheese (the last 2 were from the farmers market), and some pasta sauce.

Now here's the fun part. Since this is just about a personal size pizza you can make it with whatever you like. There are a ton of sauce flavor you can buy in you grocery store or even make yourself. Use and vegetable you like or none at all. Cook up your favorite meats or use your leftovers and make pies for you and the whole family.

I'll leave a few of what I would suggest but feel free to have fun and be creative.

White Pizza
Mozzarella cheese
Provolone cheese
Alfredo sauce
Cubed chicken breast
Italian season (optional)


  • Spread a few table spoons of Alfredo sauce over pita leaving a little edge (your crust if you will)
  • Add chicken and seasoning if using
  • Sprinkle as much of little cheese as you like over the top
  • Cook in oven at 350 for 10min or until cheese has melted to your liking

Roasted Veggie Pizza
Sliced zucchini
Sliced mushrooms
Sliced red onion
Sliced peppers
Olive oil
Ricotta cheese
Mozzarella Cheese
Basil, chopped
Oregano, chopped
Parsley, chopped

  • Toss veggies in about a table spoons of olive oil
  • Roasted veggies on a sheet tray in the oven (15min at 500 degrees)
  • Spread ricotta over pita
  • Add veggies and herbs
  • Sprinkle with mozzarella 
  • Bake in oven just until cheese is melted

Sausage Pizza
Pizza sauce (can use any tomato based sauce you like)
Cooked sausage (Italian sausage or just ground meat)
Cheese (I suggest using more than one type)

  • Spread sauce over pita
  • Add meat to the pie
  • sprinkle with cheese
  • Bake in oven pre-heat to 350 until cheese is melted

  1. I use to make homemade pizza when my kids were small. All of these are healthy as well as easy and economic. I'm going to try them and get back to you and do a little experimenting with what I use to put together!! - Alma Wynne
