I have wonderful memories of my trip to Greece many years ago. It was love at first sight. The vibrant colors and the bold flavors of the local cuisine were incredible. As a student on a budget, my favorite, affordable meal was a simple yet flavorful Greek salad.

That perfect blend of fresh ingredients and savory Mediterranean flavors inspired this fabulous Greek pizza, and I’m happy to re-share it with you today!

This recipe is easy to make and tastes so delicious that it is sure to please any meat lovers!

First, the pizza base is made with this easy, no-knead pizza dough (video tutorial below), while the veggies are roasted until soft and delicious in less than 15 minutes before baking the pizza. Roasting is a no-brainer, and it’s so worth it.

You’ll love how the sweetness from the onions and cherry tomatoes creates a delicious balance with the savory feta cheese, juicy olives, and aromatic oregano. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!

How to make Greek pizza

(Note: This is a quick description with step-by-step photos; the full recipe is at the bottom of the page.)

• The first step is to make this easy no-knead pizza dough.
• When the dough is ready and your oven is preheated, add the onions and tomatoes to a sheet pan, sprinkle with oregano and salt, and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. I use this olive oil spray when I roast my veggies.
• Roast the vegetables for about 15 minutes before baking the pizza, making it softer and enhancing their flavor.

• Meanwhile, stretch the dough gently into a rectangular shape.
• Finally, top with mozzarella, feta, roasted veggies, olives, and oregano.

• Spray with extra virgin olive oil and bake in the oven until golden and crusty! Doesn’t that look scrumptious?!

Recipe notes & tips

Pizza dough

I recommend using this pizza dough that is easy and delicious. All you have to do is combine all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, water, and olive oil in a large bowl; no kneading is required. You can can use your favorite store-bought dough or favorite recipe.

Feta cheese on pizza?

This delicious Greek curd cheese, made from sheep’s milk or a mixture of sheep and goat’s milk, is crumbly yet moist and adds a ton of flavor. It’s a terrific ingredient for a simple yet delicious homemade pizza!

Greek pizza toppings

Cheese: Feta doesn’t melt, so I used feta and mozzarella cheese. Feta for its tangy, bold flavor, and mozzarella for its creamy texture. Let’s enjoy the best of both worlds. I recommend using feta in brine (the one in the plastic container with salt water). The texture and flavor are much better than the crumbled and vacuum-sealed options.

Kalamata olives: Their strong, fruity flavor and meaty texture make these Greek olives way better than regular black olives and perfect for this recipe.

Oregano: This largely available pantry staple is a must for this Greek pizza.

Veggies: Once roasted, fresh tomatoes and red onions add a ton of flavor to the pizza topping. I recommend using cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes for this recipe.

Extra virgin olive oil: This is the best ingredient for its fruity flavor, but regular olive oil is okay, too.

substitutions

You’re welcome to play around with other delicious add-ins for a terrific combination of flavors; below are a few ingredients that we LOVE:

• Sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, wilted spinach leaves, and marinated artichoke hearts work well in this Greek-style pizza topping. But make sure not to use cucumber, a classic ingredient in Greek cuisine, which is out of the question for pizza! Let’s make tzatziki sauce with cucumber! 😂
• Garlic and fresh basil taste are delicious, too!
• You’re also welcome to add shredded roasted chicken; it will pair well with the other ingredients!
