Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 thick Greek-style pita breads 7-8 inches
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt optional
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- Fresh basil leaves torn if large
- Crushed red-pepper flakes for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops of 4 pita breads with olive oil and set them oiled-side up on the prepared sheets.
- Spread about ½ cup marinara on each pita, leaving a ½-inch border. Season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Top each pita with ½ cup shredded mozzarella.
- Bake until the cheese is melted and lightly golden and the pita edges are crisp, 10–12 minutes. Sprinkle the basil leaves and crushed red pepper on top, slice and serve.
Notes
*optional salt not included in nutrition info.
Storage: Let the pita pizzas cool completely before storing. Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you’re stacking slices, place a piece of parchment or wax paper between them so they don’t stick together. The oven or toaster oven is the best way to bring them back. Reheat at 375°F for about 8–10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the pita edges are crisp again. For a quick option, you can microwave them for 45–60 seconds, but the crust will be softer.
