Pita pizza recipe – Experiment with different toppings

This pita pizza recipe is so easy to prepare that is almost embarrassing to call it a recipe! All you need are some Greek pita breads and your imagination.

Pita bread (from Greek: πίτα) is a staple of countless Greek meals; a favorite to serve with dips and spreads and most commonly known from souvlaki, a very popular Greek street food, which is actually a pita bread sandwich. This pita pizza recipe is a different take on the traditional Greek pita bread dishes, where pita is used instead of the usual pizza dough.

For the topping of this pita pizza, try experimenting with any ingredients you like or you have laying around, or try out one of my two favourite pita pizza recipe.

The ‘Greek style pita pizza recipe’, full of mouthwatering  Mediterannean flavours! Spicy feta cheese, fresh juicy tomatoes, sweet crunchy onions and tangy black Kalamata olives.. Simply delicious!

The kids will love it and your local pizza delivery will miss you! Enjoy!
