Fun with Pita Pizza – Mushroom Pita Pizza
15-minute cheater’s mushroom pizza: 5 mins to prepare, 10 minutes to bake
This is another one of my 15-minute “fast food” meal. I like to buy a box of assorted mushrooms and whenever I have leftovers, I use it for topping this mini pizza. Using the shortcut method of using pita bread as pizza crust, this personal size pizza 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.

Experiment with (undiluted) cream of mushroom sauce as the base for the pizza – quite nice!
Ingredients
(makes 1 pita pizza)- 1 pita bread
- pizza or tomato-based pasta sauce or (undiluted) cream of mushroom sauce
- assorted mushrooms, sliced or diced
- baby spinach leaves (western type), torn to smaller pieces
- 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 or cream of mushroom sauce) evenly over the pita bread using the back of a spoon.
3. Arrange mushrooms evenly all over the pita bread, followed by a layer of cheese, followed by a bit of mushrooms and spinach leaves for garnishing.
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.

Nice one! I love recipe like this!
Simple breakfast. Happy lunch time. Romantic dinner – your pizza fits all themes!
Another quick and great recipe. Did you know that I actually wanted to try your pizza version last weekend with tortilla wraps?
hehe so have u tried it? I think tortilla wraps is a brillant idea because the crust will be super thin & crispy! :up:
This is one of my favorite recipes that you’ve posted. :) I still need to try making it……I’ve been too lazy and keep forgetting to pick up a can of cream o’ mushroom soup. Making me drool! :XO:
hehe I can’t wait to see your creation with punchi backdrop if you do make it ;)
You really are making me so hungry with your pizza! :)
These are wonderful meals!
These pizze look scrumptious. I used to use naan bread for my pizze, but this looks so tempting!
naan bread sounds like a great idea too :)
great quick delish recipe..these are the best..
sweetlife
Thanks…you don’t know how much simple recipes like that meant to busy people and students overseas like us.
I have to get me some pita and make pizza of my own!!
Loving this 15 minute series Wiffy – definitely can get so many yummy ideas from it!
Lovely! I feel like making it now! so mouth-watering…… :D
It’s always so nice to see your 15-minute meals. You can write a cookbook about it now … it’s so simple to prepare in such a short time :up: Pizza looks very yummy with a lot of cheese!
That’s creative….simple and delicious. Even kids an do this I bet. Thanks for sharing.
Using mushroom cream sauce as the base sounds great as well.
I will definitely be flogging for this pizza, looking at those cheese will definitely melts me completely! :)
That’s is a great quicky…love it! :lol:
Nice twist on it! Great pics too.
THANK YOU for this! It looks easy and hassle-free! Will try it out! =)
Thanks Joys. Hope you like it when you try it :)
it’s SO much fun to make your own pizza at home! wow you really didn’t skimp on the cheese. it looks so gooey and lovely.
I love lots of cheese toppings. Sinful, but nice ;)
Mmm, mushrooms are my absolute favorite pizza topping. I usually use just button mushrooms though. I think I should start branching out!
I love button mushrooms toppings too!
Quick and delicious pita pizza!
Very nice recipe!!!
Mushroom pizza is my favorite! Looks great!
My tummy is grumbling for dinner and now it wants one of these mouth-watering pizzas! :o You have such good ideas – the soup as the base – that’s genius.
Thanks Reeni! The sauce is actually leftover from my baked rice :)
Yummy! You really like pita pizza.
This is the most appetizing pizza I have seen in a long time!
My friend is a health buff and currently discovering new recipe that will suit her lifestyle. You know quality and healthy foods that would just be right for what you are aiming for. Your recipe is in her classification. I am going to share this to her. Thanks for posting it here.
Thanks for visiting me, and for introducing your friend :)
^5 what a favorite that is! Not to mention easy. Love your last photo esp btw. =)
would tortillas do the same as pita? haha I was just wondering. I like the one with cream of mushroom! Maybe can try with corn cream oso.. :D
Tortillas will be really thin and crispy … I think it will be really nice! creamy corn sounds good as well :)
LOVE pita pizzas! Such a perfect, quick idea for a meal. :)
This one looks delish!
I love such quick&easy recipes, it’s a very nice idea for a weekday dinner!
It looks yummy and your pictures are absolutely beautiful.
This cheater pizza is totally rocking! I love pitta bread..fat and lovely. YUM!
yes, one of the few occassions where I don’t mind a thick pizza ;)
This is such a healthier way of eating pizza. I often order my pizza with mushroom only. Making my own pita mushroom pizza is definitely better.
I got sick of ordering pizza delivery after a while. I find the home made ones taste fresher and more economical ;)

if you noticed, there’s a recipe called “oven baked chicken wing” or something, where i put in some pita bread along with the chicken wings. the olive oil that i used as to avoid the chicken stick onto the tray makes the pita bread tender.
i’ve tried your pizza recipe several times but each time i did, i didn’t even bother to snap some photos..they’re so irresistible :halo: !!! again, thanks a bunch!
I used to make pita pizzas when I got home late from work. A great quick and relatively healthy meal. Thanks for reminding me of them and I like your toppings :).
I’m definitely going to make this! I love mushrooms and have been craving cooked spinach. And I just picked up some pita bread at the store today! Thanks! :)
By the way, I love your site and am bookmarking it! It seems as though we have similar plights, as far as cooking and blogs go. :)
