Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 4 whole wheat pita breads
Sauce and Cheese
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Vegetables
- 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
Seasoning and Garnish
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get it ready for baking the pita pizzas at the right temperature.
- Prepare pita breads: Place the whole wheat pita breads on a baking sheet. Lightly brush each pita with olive oil to help crisp the edges and add flavor.
- Spread sauce: Evenly distribute the pizza sauce over each pita bread to create a flavorful base for toppings.
- Add cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce on each pita.
- Top with vegetables: Arrange sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, black olives, and chopped red onion evenly on top of the cheese layer.
- Season: Sprinkle dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the vegetables to enhance the flavors.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8–10 minutes until the cheese melts, bubbles, and the pita edges turn crisp.
- Finish and serve: Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, then serve warm.
Notes
- Use any favorite vegetables such as spinach, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes to customize your pizza.
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes or jalapeños to the toppings.
