    Detailed instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Set out a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or ​​aluminum foil.
    2. Brush or drizzle olive oil on all sides of each pita (this step is what gives pita pizza a ​​crispy crust).
    3. To each piece of pita bread, add ​​pizza sauce and sprinkle with ​​Italian seasonings. Top with mozzarella cheese, ham, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Bake in the oven for 7-10 minutes or until the cheese starts to bubble.
    4. Once the cheese is melted, take the pizza out of the oven. Top pita bread pizza with diced tomato and fresh basil. Slice it with a ​​pizza cutter and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before enjoying.

    • Sauce: red pizza sauce, then add toppings, then drizzle with BBQ sauce before baking.
    • Toppings: pan seared chicken (or use leftover chicken breast), cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese, red pepper, barbecue sauce, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
    • Inspiration: see this bbq chicken pizza recipe.

    Greek pita bread pizza with feta cheese

    • Sauce: a simple white pizza sauce with a drizzle of olive oil sprinkled with garlic powder.
    • Toppings: a little mozzarella cheese, diced kalamata olives, thinly sliced red onions and fresh tomatoes, and a sprinkle of feta cheese when it comes out of the oven.

    Vegetarian pita pizza with broccolini

    • Sauce: make it a white pizza with a simple base of olive oil and a sprinkle of garlic powder and a sprinkle of ​​black pepper.
    • Toppings: tomato sauce, broccolini, mozzarella cheese, a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes.

    Steak and cheese pita pizza

    • Sauce: marinara sauce or a white pizza sauce with a sprinkle of ​​Italian seasonings.
    • Toppings: thinly sliced cooked steak (like coulotte or skirt steak), mozzarella cheese, bell peppers and onions, and parmesan cheese are my family’s favorite toppings.
    • Inspiration: see this Philly cheesesteak pizza recipe.

    Buffalo chicken pita pizza

    • Sauce: a little drizzle of buffalo sauce
    • Toppings: diced sous vide chicken breast or any leftover chicken that’s cooked, mozzarella cheese, and after it bakes, add a drizzle of diced carrots, celery, and blue cheese dressing on top. For fresh herbs, cilantro is my favorite for this flavor combo.
    • Inspiration: see this recipe for air fryer chicken wings or baked wings for similar flavors.

    FAQs

    What’s the best pita bread for pizza?

    In this demonstration, I’m using a Greek pita bread that’s actually whole wheat pitas, I think from Whole Foods. I find that all grocery store bought pita breads can result in a delicious, crispy pita bread pizza. Including gluten-free pita bread. The key is to add a little olive oil as mentioned in the instructions.

    ​​Is pita bread healthier than pizza dough?

    Honestly, there’s not much health difference between the two— both pita breads and pizza dough utilize a simple yeast dough, which contains many of the same ingredients. If you use whole wheat pizza, of course, you can rack in some easy health points. The main benefit of pita bread, though, is the ease with which it can be topped with all your favorite toppings and made into delicious pizzas very quickly, without parbaking pizza dough first.

    Can I make pita bread pizza on the grill?

    Pita bread pizza cooks beautifully on the grill– just make sure you keep the flame low enough that the cheese is melted before the pita is burned.

    What can I use instead of pita bread in this recipe?

    If you don’t have pita bread or want to try something else, you can make these pizzas on frozen pizza dough, flatbread naan bread (like used in this ravioli pizza), or parbaked pizza crusts.

    What can I serve with pita bread pizza?

    Serve your pita bread pizza with smoked chicken wings or a fresh summer salad like my blueberry salad with burrata cheese. These pizzas are also delicious with my chilled zuchinni salad — an easy recipe to make ahead and stick in the refrigerator for pizza night.

    The Perfect Pizza Setup

    Want to make restaurant style pizza at home? I’ve got you covered! Here are some of my top tips, tricks, secret ingredients and tools for a pizza night everyone will look forward to, again and again.

    1. NEVER do this… Contrary to what most people believe, when baking pizza on a sheet pan, never add toppings to raw pizza dough. Instead, follow my recipe for making homemade pizza with ready made dough, which will teach you how to par bake pizza dough first.
    2. Get help from secret ingredients…
      – This dough seasoning is the secret to real Italian-tasting homemade pizza dough.
      – Add pizza seasoning to store bought pizza sauce. This makes the pizza taste really fresh!
    3. Herbs are for after… In my weekly pizza making practice, I’ve found that fresh herbs, like basil, need to be added to pizza after the pizza is done baking (so the herbs don’t wilt).
    4. Buy fresh dough and get amazing results. Yup, fresh dough from grocery stores is one of my favorite short-cuts. Learn how to use fresh Trader Joe’s pizza dough and Whole Foods pizza dough with my tutorials.
    5. Frozen pizza can taste amazing, too!! Learn how to spruce it up with this recipe for pizza using frozen crust.
    6. Slice pizza pies like a chef with just a few swipes, using big ol’ pizza cutters.
    7. Want to grill pizza? Here are some pizza grilling tools to check out.
    8. Do you really need to cook pizza on the rack? Nope! I basically never do. Here are tools you see me using in my tutorials on cooking pizza in the oven…
      – Bake pizza on a rimmed baking pan set to get a beautiful golden brown crust.
      – Love crispy crust? Let the air flow with this dishwasher safe pizza pan.
      – Get personal – let your fam / friends top their own pies with this set of personal pizza pans.

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
