These pepperoni pizzas are made with pitta bread which makes them quick and easy to prepare. They're perfect for those times when you feel like a tasty pizza but don’t want to spend time making pizza dough.
Anytime I feel like pizza but can't be bothered to make fresh pizza dough then these are my go-to pizzas. To make these easy pitta bread pizzas, you just need to top the pittas with your toppings of choice and cook. I use tomato puree for the tomato base and a mixture of mozzarella and cheddar that I then top with delicious Italian pepperoni. They are so convenient and you can cook them in the oven or an air fryer.
If you have kids, you can involve them with the preparations and have some fun pizza making. When I make these pitta pizzas, my daughter loves to help and its half the work when you don’t have to make the dough from scratch. The kids will have fun and they can experiment with different toppings.
Enjoy these pitta pizzas alone or you can serve with a salad for a balanced meal that you can enjoy for lunch or dinner.
