Top tips for making a Pita Pizza:
- Utilize the entire pita. Bring the sauce and topping to the end of the pita so you can pack as much toppings on your pita as possible.
- Use a dark baking sheet. Like pizza you want as much heat coming to the pizza. Darker baking sheets hold heat better than lighter ones.
- Use convection baking. For a more even bake use your convection bake setting on your oven. Convection bake utilizes a fan to distribute the heat throughout the oven.
- Bake until crispy on the bottom and the cheese is melted. The pizza is fully cooked when the bottom is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
- (Optional) Skip the oven and use your grill. We made this recipe with oven but you can take it up a level by making this quick and easy lunch on the grill.
