This Pesto Pita Pizza is a fantastic way to change up Pizza Night! It's a Mediterranean twist on the classic personal-sized pizza, and it takes less than 30 minutes to make! It is a fun recipe to make for individuals and families alike. All you need to start are some pita bread, pesto (recipe included), cheese, capers (optional), and sun-dried tomatoes!


Not a fan of pesto? Change it up with good ole classic marinara sauce or a drizzle of olive oil! Don't have pita bread? Feel free to use (or make!) regular pizza dough! Want to switch up the toppings? Go right ahead!


Make this your own, have fun, and enjoy!

Feel free to make your own pita bread too if you'd like!

Store the pesto leftovers in an airtight jar to make delicious pasta, sandwiches, and more!
