I seriously can’t believe I hadn’t thought of this before.
I mean the ingredients were all there.
Staring.me.in.the.face.
Mini pitas. Ricotta. Tomatoes. Garlic. Oregano. Instant pizza inspiration.
Mini whole wheat pitas from Trader Joe’s deliver the perfect crust!
I baked them first with the garlic, herbs and shallots, ya know, to take the edge off (leaving a garlic hue, not a punch in the face.)
And get them super crispy!.
Combination 1: the inspiration.
Garlic, ricotta, tomato, oregano.
Combination 2: Spanish influence.
Spanish chorizo, shallot, goat cheese, arugula.
Combination 3: going gourmet.
Blue cheese, garlic, rosemary, honey.
It’s hard to tell which was my favorite, but I might have to say the blue cheese honey combo.
Definitely fancy tasting, but these took no time at all!
Substitute the chorizo for mushrooms and get a complete vegetarian cuisine!
I really liked the array of this quick and easy lunch.
Seriously, the options are endless.
Think prosciutto, bell peppers, red onion, pepperoni, grapes, basil, sausage, feta…
With a meatless option, and a platform to create whatever your fridge gives you, these quick and healthy pizzas are sure to satisfy and become a favorite all around.
Looking to entertain? Mini pita pizzas couldn’t be easier. Just lay out the pitas, toppings and let everyone get food inspired.
If you’re searching for for a crunchy crust and loads of real deal pizza power, you’ve found the right dish.
I’d say 4 is a good serving size. Or 5. 
Happy Monday!

Love the flavor combos you chose- the blue cheese one sounds incredible especially! Pizza bagels were one of my favorite dinners growing up, used to beg my Dad to make them!
Love all the combos you have come up with. New to this blog..loving all the posts and photography!
Glad to have you!
These are so cute- I love those mini pitas from TJs! And I love all of the toppings…. except blue cheese. I just can’t do it.
