Make easy tortilla pizza for dinner!
Tortilla pizza is one of those things I started making out of “laziness” (really after dinner burnout!), and now it’s something I actually crave. I usually stack two tortillas to make it sturdier, then throw on whatever I’ve got sauce, cheese, olives, mushrooms, whatever’s in the fridge.
Tortilla pizza takes less than 10 minutes in the oven, and my kids are always into it, which is really the only endorsement I need.
Happy Cooking!

Tortilla Pizza Ingredients
- Tortillas: I recommend 10-inch flour tortillas because they’re the size of a personal pizza. Here’s how to make your own flour tortillas. You can also use whole wheat tortillas, keto-friendly tortillas, low-carb tortillas, flavored tortillas, or gluten-free cassava tortillas.
- Pizza sauce: Use your favorite store-bought brand or follow my recipe for how to make homemade pizza sauce. You can also use marinara sauce.
- Mozzarella cheese: Whole-milk mozzarella or part-skim mozzarella are both great options. I recommend shredding your own cheese for the best melt; pre-shredded cheese can have anti-caking agents that affect melting and texture.
- Spices: A sprinkle of dried oregano for that “pizza” taste, and crushed red pepper flakes for heat. Adjust to suit your tastes!
- Toppings: I like a mixture of olives and mushrooms. Green bell peppers and onions also work well.

Ingredients
- 2 10-inch flour tortillas
- ½ cup pizza sauce divided
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided
- ½ teaspoon oregano divided
- ¼ cup olives sliced
- ¼ cup mushrooms sliced
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place a baking sheet or pizza stone, if you have one, in the oven while it’s preheating.
- Place one tortilla on a layer of parchment paper. Spread ¼ cup of the pizza sauce evenly over the tortilla. Sprinkle ¼ cup of the mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce. Season with ¼ teaspoon of the oregano.
- Place the second tortilla on top and repeat with the remaining pizza sauce, leaving a small border around the edge for the crust. Add the remaining cheese and the remaining oregano.
- Add the sliced olives, sliced mushrooms, and red pepper flakes, or your desired toppings, on top of the cheese.
- Transfer the assembled tortilla pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 5–7 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly, the toppings are tender, and the edges are golden and crispy. Use a pizza cutter to slice the pizza into 4 or 6 slices and enjoy immediately.
Equipment
- Box Grater optional

Recipe Variations
- Play with layers. My original tortilla pizza recipe called for a single tortilla, but I’ve since tweaked it to use a double layer of tortillas because I like the outcome better. A single layer makes a crispy tortilla pizza, while a double layer makes a traditional thin crust pizza. Both taste great!
- Mix up the cheese. Perfectly melty low-moisture mozzarella is a standard on pizza for a reason, but adding to or replacing the mozzarella can make for fun variations. Try slices of fresh mozzarella, Parmesan, cheddar, gorgonzola, feta, goat cheese, or some ricotta.
- Change the sauce. Basil Pesto, BBQ sauce, or even a Bechamel sauce would be great!
- Use a different bread. Try naan bread or lavash flatbread, or make homemade pita bread. Watch your pizza closely while it bakes, as it may take more or less time than a tortilla wrap pizza, depending on size.
Recipe Tips
- Make the tortilla more flavorful. Brush it with garlic oil or melted butter before adding cheese and toppings.
- Crisp it up in a skillet first. Heat a little oil in a skillet. Once hot, wipe it out with a paper towel. Add a tortilla, assemble the pizza, and cook in the preheated oven as directed.
- Cut and slice the toppings into similar-sized pieces. This allows them to cook evenly. If you’re using pre-cooked toppings like caramelized onions or shredded chicken, you don’t have to worry about the sizes.
- Use the toaster oven. To make tortilla pizza extra crispy, bake it in a toaster oven at 425°F for 3–5 minutes.
Serving Ideas
- Side salad: Fresh Garden Salad, Kale Caesar Salad, Chickpea Salad
- Fries: Air Fryer French Fries, Baked Sweet Potato Fries, Avocado Fries
- Kid-friendly sides: Hidden Veggie Mac & Cheese, Grilled Cheese Dippers, Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes
