Greek Pita Pizzas
These simple personal pizzas make a quick and delicious weeknight meal. We tasted various flavors of packaged hummus in this recipe—red pepper hummus was the test kitchen's favorite.

Serves 4


  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 (8-inch) pita rounds (whole wheat)
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 onion, red (small), sliced thin
  • 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped
  • 1/2 cup hummus
  • 1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend (low fat)
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (low fat)
  • 2 cups arugula


  1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 475 degrees. Brush 2 tablespoons oil over top and bottom of pita rounds. Transfer to baking sheet and bake until golden, about 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, combine remaining oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste in bowl. Toss onion, olives, and 2 tablespoons vinaigrette together in separate bowl.
  3. Spread 2 tablespoons hummus on each toasted pita round. Sprinkle cheeses evenly over hummus, then top with onion mixture. Bake until onions soften and cheese is melted, 6 to 8 minutes. Just before serving, toss arugula with remaining vinaigrette. Arrange arugula on top of pita pizzas. Serve.
