Pita Pizzas Recipe – This easy 15 Minute Pizza Recipe makes a quick meal or snack the whole family will enjoy! Kids and adults love making these personal pita pizzas!
Since school has started, there are days that by the time we’ve worked through a good bit of our morning class work, it is already time for lunch. Sometimes, my son believes he’ll starve to death before we’ve even finished math, even though he’s just finished eating breakfast a couple of hours before. I’m not sure if his sudden hunger is brought on by the algebra problems or because he’s a growing boy. Either way, I know I only have a limited time to get something good into him for lunch before we’re in a downward spiral. The same can really be said for afternoons when he needs a quick, filling snack or a light supper before Scouts.
And I love to turn to this super quick, easy, pita pizzas. Talk about the perfect quick pizza recipe!
With supervision, especially around the hot oven, this makes a great recipe that children can enjoy making themselves. I love to watch my son and his friends make these for snacks in the afternoons. It seems like they enjoy their pizzas a whole lot more when they make them!
How to Make Pita Pizzas
These easy and quick personal pizzas are so fun for kids (and adults) to make!
Ingredients
Be sure to see the recipe card below for the full listing of ingredients, instructions, notes, and estimated nutritional information.
- Pita bread
- Pizza sauce
- Mozzarella cheese
- Favorite toppings
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. If small children are making their pizzas, please make sure they have someone else handling the pizzas around the oven. Place pita bread on a baking sheet. Spread pizza sauce on top of the pita bread and top with cheese and favorite toppings. Place in oven until cheese is melted and bubbly, but not browned. Remove and slice or serve whole.
These pizzas are not just for kids! They make a perfect personal pizza for adults too! Made with super simple ingredients that I normally have on hand, pita bread, homemade pizza sauce, and cheese, these pita pizzas are favorites when they appear around my lunch table too!
Sometimes, we’ll add pepperoni or other meats and veggies, depending on what we have and what we’d like to include. Basil and tomatoes are always welcome on mine for mini margherita pizzas, and leftover chicken, spinach, and a few sun-dried tomatoes are also toppings that I turn to from time to time. The possibilities are just endless, but thankfully, they are ready in a jiffy and make a delicious meal!

Hi Kathy,
I’ve never made this in the microwave and so I’m not sure how it will turn out. I suppose you could try one on a lower power setting to see how it tastes.
I hope you enjoy this! Thanks so much!
How much mins in the microwave?
