Easy Homemade Pita Pizza Recipe

It’s inevitable. You make spaghetti and sauce and once dinner’s over it seems you’ve either made too much sauce or too much spaghetti. In our case, we still have leftover pizza sauce. So rather than have spaghetti again and have to buy another jar of sauce, Scott and I used our leftover spaghetti sauce as a pizza sauce for some homemade pita pizzas! Here’s what we used:

Pack of 10 Mini White Bread Pitas (King of Pitas Brand available from The Fresh Market)

Fresh Mozzarella Cheese, sliced

Red Pepper, sliced and seeds removed

Baby Portabella Mushrooms, sliced

Deli Sandwich Pepperonis, sliced

Yellow Onion, sliced

Leftover Spaghetti Sauce (or flavored tomato sauce)

Fresh garlic, finely minced

Fresh oregano and basil, finely chopped

Sea Salt and Cracked Pepper

Place up to six pitas on a baking sheet and spread spaghetti sauce on top of the pitas. Add slices of mozzarella cheese. Then top with desired ingredients and bake at 350 degrees F until the cheese has melted.

We made two different pizzas. One all veggie and one meat. My pizzas were topped with pepperoni, mushrooms, garlic, oregano, and basil. Scott’s were topped with peppers, onions, garlic, mushrooms, oregano, and basil. Both had light salt and pepper on top. These were by far the BEST pizzas we’ve had anywhere in a long time. Definitely better than eating out or ordering in! The fresh ingredients really made the biggest difference.
