Liz’s Pita Pizza

Liz’s Pita Pizza! This is a simple twist on pizza! It is made using a pita flatbread instead of pizza dough, and it’s topped with marinara sauce, fresh mozzarella, and fresh basil.  Baked in 10 minutes and ready to serve!  This is one of Liz’s culinary creations!

She has a talent for creating healthy, easy, and delicious dishes with simple ingredients, like our Mom.

One evening, she had to come up with a quick dinner for friends and the pita pizza was born!   This is a fun way to make pizza during a busy weeknight or at any time of the year.  

You may use a simple homemade sauce like our mom’s quick marinara sauce, or store-bought sauce from a jar.

Notes

If you want a real brick oven taste, try placing the pizza's on a grill with the cover lid closed, and grill the pizza until the cheese is melted. Having the grill covered gives this pita pizza's a smokey taste.
