Pesto is a fun way to make a unique pizza. It can also be a sneaky way to add extra veggies to a meal. For this recipe you can buy pesto or make your own - it is really easy!

Try either of these recipes:

Kale pesto with walnuts

Vegan spinach pesto

If you make your own save it in smaller portions. Spoon the pesto into silicone muffin cups and freeze to make handy pesto pucks. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight or on a very low heat in the microwave.

For pesto pita bread pizza, or any other pita pizza, I use whole wheat flat bread pitas, the kind without pockets. They are about 7-8 inches across which makes them the perfect size for a personal pizza. If you have tried, and been bummed out by, tortilla pizzas I think you are going to really love these. Pitas are perfect for easy homemade pizza because they can support the weight of the toppings, the edges get nice and toasty, and the bread has a nice chew.

For toppings go as simple or gourmet as you please. Use ingredients your family likes, or whatever is leftover. I like a combination of meat, veggies, and a salty cheese. Whatever you choose, have fun and enjoy this quick and easy pesto pita bread pizza.
