Fun with Pita Pizza – Hawaiian Pita Pizza
Hawaiian pizza is one of the most popular pizza flavours around. After all, what’s not to like about the fail-safe combination of ham and pineapples? Using the shortcut method of using pita bread as pizza crust & canned pineapples, this popular pizza delight can be whipped up in 15 minutes: 5 minutes to prepare & assemble, and 10 minutes to bake. For more information about pita pizzas, check out my detailed write-up here.
Ingredients
(makes 1 pita pizza)– 1 pita bread
– pizza or tomato-based pasta sauce
– pineapples, diced (you can use fresh pineapples or canned)
– ham slices, diced
– shredded mozzarella cheeseDirections
(for step by step photos on how to assemble this pizza, refer to this post)1. Place a piece of pita bread on a flat oven-safe tray.
2. Spread some pizza sauce (you can also use tomato-based pasta sauce which was what I used in this case) evenly over the pita bread using the back of your spoon.
3. Arrange pineapples and ham evenly all over the pita bread, followed by a layer of cheese, followed by more pineapples & ham over the cheese.
4. Bake in preheated oven of 200C (392F) for roughly 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Serve with tobasco sauce and grated parmesan cheese if you like.

Fancy more 15-minute pita pizza ideas?
wonderful! even though I eat pita every day, I never think of using it like a pizza ! silly me! thanks for the great idea!
funny coz the first time I used pita bread was as a pizza base, not the original intended use hehe
Yummy! I’ve been doing ham and cheese on bagel these days. Maybe I’ll add some tomato sauce and then it can be “pizza”. Just got some pineapples so it can happen!
a hawaiian pizza bagel sounds terrific! :up:
My favorite pizza flavor!
