    Ohhhhhhh may goodness.

    You make my heart so warm and fuzzy. ❤️

    I am so blown away by the responses I received after Tuesday's post.

    You've reaffirmed what deep down, I already knew: That this is a community of amazing people who care deeply, love fiercely, and will stand for no nonsense.

    I am so freaking PROUD of you and the work you're already doing to make the world a little bit better. Thank you to the moon and back for sharing your stories with me over the past few days. I love you - madly and truly - and I am so hashtag blessed to know you, whether we're standing together at a protest or simultaneously drooling over pizza from opposite sides of the country.

    Which, hey, BY THE WAY: This pizza.

    (BOOM. See what I did there?)

    Now, is this "real" pizza? Probably not. (Please don't disown me, friends who actually know anything about Italian food!)

    But this IS pizza-LIKE. So I think it counts.

    Also, it involves whole wheat pita bread.

    And ALL OF THE TOPPINGS.

    And is ready in less than 20 minutes so you can get back to calling your senators and doing your taxes and then getting a little wine drunk while you watch the new Beauty and the Beast trailer 1095019858 times because you're sick of acting like a grownup.

    ...Not that I do that.

    I'm putting THREE WHOLE RECIPES in this post, which sounds a lot more impressive than it is because reallyyyyyyy, this is not a very recipe-y recipe.

    Basically, the instructions are this: Put some stuff on a pita pocket. Cover it with cheese. Bake until cheese melts. Do a happy dance. The end.

    BUT BUT BUT: The combinations of these particular quick and easy pita bread pizzas are pretty much wonderful.

    There's a quick margarita pizza (because cheese + basil + tomatoes = EVERYTHING), a pesto + chicken + parmesan number (YAY) and a Greek-inspired pizza that I totally and 100% ripped off from my friend Elizabeth (HI ELIZABETH) after she made us something similar a few months ago.

    This is the perfect "we-have-nothing-for-dinner" dinner, and it's easy to make a few different varieties so that everyone gets a couple of unique slices.

    ...or, y'know, so that you have five different mini pizzas all to yourself. You do you.

    Description

    Easy pita bread pizzas for busy weeknights.


    Ingredients

    Scale

    For the Margarita Pizza:

    • 2 whole wheat pita bread rounds
    • 2 tsp. olive oil
    • 3 oz. fresh mozzarella cheese
    • 10 cherry tomatoes, halved
    • fresh ground black pepper, to taste
    • 6 fresh basil leaves, for garnish

    For the Greek Pizza:

    • 2 whole wheat pita bread rounds
    • ⅓ cup plain hummus
    • ½ cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
    • 2 Tbsp. sliced black olives
    • ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese

    For the Pesto Chicken Pizza:

    • 2 whole wheat pita bread rounds
    • ⅓ cup basil pesto
    • ⅔ cup cooked shredded chicken
    • ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
    • fresh ground pepper, to taste

    Instructions

    1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
    2. Lay pita bread rounds in a single layer on a large baking sheet. They won't rise or expand, so you can place them quite close together on the baking sheet if you need to.
    3. Choose your pizza! You can make all three of the combinations above, or just choose one or two, or add your own favorite pizza toppings! This is kind of a no-recipe recipe, so there aren't too many instructions.
    4. Top each pita bread round with your desired toppings. If you're making the margarita pita bread pizza, leave the basil leaves off until AFTER the pizza is baked, and then add them at the last minute so they don't wilt!
    5. Bake pita bread pizzas at 375 degrees F for 10-15 minutes until pita bread has lightly crisped, toppings are heated through, and cheese has just melted.
    6. Slice pitas into quarters and serve immediately.
