A delightful and easy Greek-inspired pita pizza featuring a crispy pita base topped with tangy feta, melted mozzarella, fresh cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and red onion, finished with a vibrant spinach or arugula layer and a luscious maple syrup drizzle accented with lemon and sea salt. Perfect for a Mediterranean-style lunch or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Pita Base:

  • 2 Greek-style pita breads or naan rounds
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp dried oregano

For the Toppings:

  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella or provolone
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ¼ cup Kalamata olives, sliced
  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh spinach or arugula
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or basil

For the Maple Drizzle:

  • 1 ½ tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Pita Base: Brush each pita bread evenly with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder and dried oregano. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes until they become slightly crisp but not fully browned.
  3. Add the Toppings: Remove the pita bases from the oven and evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella, crumbled feta, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced Kalamata olives, and thinly sliced red onion on top of each pita. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted fully and the edges of the pita are golden brown.
  4. Make the Maple Drizzle: While the pizzas bake, whisk together pure maple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt in a small bowl until well combined and slightly thickened to create a sweet and tangy glaze.
  5. Finish & Serve: Once the pizzas are out of the oven, layer fresh spinach or arugula over the top. Drizzle with the warm maple glaze evenly to add a gourmet touch of sweetness and acidity. Finally, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or basil for a pop of herbal freshness before serving.

Notes

  • Use Greek-style pita for authentic taste and texture, or naan for a softer alternative.
  • Substitute provolone for mozzarella if preferred for a milder cheese flavor.
  • For a vegan version, replace cheeses with plant-based alternatives and omit maple drizzle or use a vegan-friendly syrup.
  • The maple drizzle adds a sweet contrast to savory toppings—adjust quantity to taste.
  • Serve with tzatziki sauce or a crisp Greek salad for a complete Mediterranean meal experience.
  • Leftover pizzas can be refrigerated and reheated in an oven or toaster oven for best results.
