Notes

Nutritional values are approximate and are based on 10 pita pizzas. Refrigerate leftovers promptly and use within 4 days.

Serving Suggestions: Pizzas are great served with a green salad or veggie dippers. Offer ranch or hot honey for those who want it.

Shop Your Kitchen: There are so many different subs you can consider based on what you have.

Use bagels, French bread, tortillas, or naan as the base for your pizzas instead of pita bread.
Raid the fridge for bits of cheese, meat, or veg that you can use for toppings.
Monterey Jack is a great sub for mozzarella if you don’t have it.

Freeze Extra for Later: You can freeze pizza cooked or uncooked.

If freezing uncooked, lay evenly on a tray in the freezer until firm, then transfer to a freezer-safe container. Store for up to 6 weeks. Bake from frozen.

If freezing cooked pizza, cool and wrap for freezing. Chill until cold before transferring to freezer. Store for up to 6 weeks. Reheat in microwave, oven, or air fryer.

You can also assemble a pizza kit, with separate bags or containers of pitas and toppings.

Make a Plan for Leftovers: Leftover pizzas are delicious the next day.

Be sure to promptly store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven. If you store your leftovers in clear containers, they’re more likely to get eaten.
