Greek Pita Pizzas
I love to make classic Pita Pizzas as an easy kids meal, and varying them with this Greek option is another seriously yummy option. In place of classic tomato sauce, we use hummus, and then add toppings that are similar to what we’d find in a Greek salad: cucumber, crumbled cheese, tomato, and the like. The result is a no-cook meal that is flavorful, easy to adjust, and so satisfying to eat. Which is what I always want from kids meals!

Kalona whole milk plain yogurt chickpeas lemon cumin salt Whole wheat pita bread (I like to use mini ones) assorted toppings such as cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and crumbled goat cheese
Homemade Hummus without Tahini
I love to use yogurt in hummus for many reasons including it’s less expensive than tahini, it makes a hummus that’s very creamy, and it’s free from a food (sesame), which some kids may be allergic too. I also love that it adds beneficial probiotics to the hummus, which can help the kids stay healthy!
Step-by-Step Process
Here’s a look at the steps involved in making this recipe. TIP: You can make this whole healthy kids meal with the kids and let them pick and add their own toppings!
What kind of toppings are best for these pita pizzas?
I like to go sort of Greek to complement the hummus and add tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and crumbled goat cheese, but it’s really up to you. You could add black or Greek olives, shredded cheddar, or roasted veggies. TIP: You can do just the hummus on the pita and serve the veggies alongside for kids who prefer their foods not to be too mixed together.
Make-Ahead Tips for Healthy Pita Pizzas
You can make the hummus ahead of time and store it in the fridge for 3-5 days. Then you can quickly assemble the pizzas at meal time. You could also put the toppings into a pita round, cut in half, for a simple pita bread sandwich in a packed lunch!
Tips for Making the Best Greek Pita Pizzas
Taste the hummus after blending and adjust the level of salt if desired. Omit the salt if making for a baby. Serve the hummus and toasted pita side by side if preferred. The the kids top their own pita breads so they can choose which toppings to add.
