This flatbread pizza recipe is quick and easy! You can make homemade flatbread (it’s easy, I’ll show you) or use your favorite store-bought flatbread.

My family loves this easy flatbread pizza made with tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella. It’s my secret weapon for a quick dinner, which I know everyone will love. With a short list of ingredients and a 15-minute prep time, it’s a lifesaver!

Serve it with a simple salad, and you’ve got a full meal. Below, I’m sharing my family’s favorite flatbread recipe and lots of topping ideas for you to try.

Key Ingredients

Use store-bought flatbread or make your own. Our family loves this no-yeast flatbread recipe, so we usually have a few already made in the freezer. We also have this yeasted garlic flatbread that works well for pizzas. I have used our no-yeast flatbread in our photos and video.

Add your favorite toppings. Here are a few of my favorite toppings to inspire you:

• Olive oil or sauce: My son isn’t the biggest fan of sauce on his pizza, so we stick with olive oil. I also love this homemade pizza sauce if you want a layer of sauce on your flatbread. For pesto pizza, try homemade basil pesto.
• Cheese: I love fresh mozzarella for this recipe, but any cheese will work. Use what you have and love. For something special, I love ricotta, creme fraîche, or mascarpone cheese (which are especially delicious with caramelized onions and fresh thyme).
• Meats: Cooked sausage, bacon, or pepperoni
• Veggies: Try sliced onion, bell peppers, and fresh or roasted mushrooms

How to Make Flatbread Pizza

Tip 1: Assemble with cooked flatbread. When making pizza with flatbread, I like starting with cooked flatbread. This differs slightly from homemade pizza, where I add my toppings to uncooked pizza dough.

Tip 2: Bake your pizza. Add your sauce and toppings, and then bake the flatbread in your oven until the bottom is slightly crusty and the cheese has melted on top. Our pizzas bake in the oven for about 10 minutes. Since the flatbread goes into the oven precooked, this recipe is FAST.

For the pizzas in our photos, I brushed on olive oil and layered sliced tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil on top. Before baking, I sprinkled over some oregano, salt, and pepper. It is simple and seriously delicious.

Serving Suggestions

I love serving these with a big salad. Some of my favorites include this homemade Caesar salad, our Greek salad, or this chopped salad.

Veggies on the side work, too. Try roasted vegetables, sautéed zucchini, or these easy sautéed vegetables. Since they are so easy, I’ve also made these pizzas and served them with soup. I especially love our roasted tomato soup.

This hot honey prosciutto pizza is the lazy dinner or lunch you’ll make on repeat. Salty prosciutto, melty cheese, and a generous drizzle of hot honey on a crispy flatbread or pita — ready in 15 minutes, no pizza dough required.

• Ready In: 15 minutes
• Serves: 1
• Diet: Nut-free
• Nutrition Highlights: ~30 grams protein, ~620 calories per serve, high protein – to be updated
• Main Ingredients: Lebanese flatbread or pita, pizza sauce, pizza cheese, prosciutto, hot honey
• Flavor Profile: Salty, cheesy, subtly spicy, sticky-sweet — the whole package
• Meal-Prep Friendly: Best eaten fresh; the flatbread softens if stored
• Best Served With: Fresh rocket with balsamic or a simple green salad

This started as my answer to hot honey pepperoni pizza — I love that combination, but I had prosciutto in the fridge and a flatbread that needed using. Ten minutes later I had something I honestly liked even better.

The prosciutto goes on after baking, which means it stays silky and slightly warm from the residual heat, rather than crisping up the way pepperoni does. That contrast — tender, salty prosciutto against bubbling, golden cheese — is the whole point. And then the hot honey ties it all together: sweet, sticky, with just enough heat to wake everything up.

It’s become my go-to lazy lunch and one of those weeknight dinners that feels more special than a 15-minute meal has any right to. If you haven’t tried hot honey on pizza yet, this is your sign.

Recipe Tips

• Don’t skip the post-bake prosciutto step. Baking prosciutto makes it dry and a little tough. Layering it on after the pizza comes out of the oven keeps it silky and tender — a much better result.
• Use a hot oven. 210°C / 415°F gives you a good golden base and properly melted cheese in about 10 minutes. Any lower and the cheese won’t colour nicely.
• Adjust the hot honey to taste. 2 teaspoons is a good starting point if you’re new to it; go to 3 if you like a real hit of sweet heat. I usually go generous.
• No hot honey? Drizzle with regular honey and scatter a small pinch of dried chili flakes or a drizzle of your favorite chili oil over the top. It’s not quite the same, but it gets you there.
• Want it crispier? Place the flatbread directly on the oven rack (rather than a tray) for the last few minutes. The underside crisps up beautifully.
• Variations: Try swapping prosciutto for speck or coppa. Add a handful of fresh rocket on top with the prosciutto for extra flavor and freshness. A few shavings of parmesan also work beautifully.
• Storage: This is really best eaten fresh. The flatbread base softens if stored, and prosciutto doesn’t love being reheated. Make it, eat it.

Serving Suggestions

This pizza is a complete meal on its own, but if you want to round it out, a handful of fresh rocket dressed with a little balsamic glaze is the natural pairing — the peppery bitterness cuts through the richness of the cheese and honey perfectly. A simple green salad works just as well. I sometimes do a quick rocket or arugula salad with Parmesan on the side, which takes about 3 minutes to throw together. Serve with a glass of something cold — this pizza is casual, fun food, and the occasion should match.

My Grandma Knew.

A crisped English muffin brushed with garlic butter, topped with a savory meat sauce and melty cheese? Oh MAN these are good.

I’m currently very obsessed with these, which is kind of making me chuckle, because it feels like a peak 90s Midwestern mom moment. HERE FOR IT!

“Pizza burgers” are a staple of my childhood. My grandma made these all the time, and whenever she would come visit our family, she’d re-up our freezer stash.

This recipe is like a collab between my grandma and me: she always did them on English muffins, and I prefer ground Italian sausage (or turkey, or chicken), and brushing all of it with garlic butter.

They’re just my favorite for the end-of-school-year madness right now:

• They’re MINDLESSLY EASY.
• My kids love them.
• Fun toppings can be mixed in (my fave = pepperoncini).
• And, importantly: they can be pulled out of the freezer and reheated one at a time – ideal for the times we are trying to get out the door to soccer or find something to eat quickly between work meetings and just questioning every life decision that led us to this moment.

While in the process of writing this post, I literally just ate two of them for lunch. Oh man, so good.

Pulled out of the freezer. Air-fried for 8 minutes. Drizzled them with good olive oil (DELICIOUS) and topped with some kosher salt and served alongside a pile of supremely crunchy cucumbers. It was a moment!

Hope you love these! From my Midwestern grandma, to me, to all of us.

I love this sweet and savory pear pizza with mozzarella, onions, and our homemade balsamic glaze. It’s also easy, and you can make it with homemade or store-bought pizza dough!

We love playing around with savory and sweet. This easy pear pizza recipe has a little of both. The pear becomes sweet and tender, onions are savory with thyme, and a simple balsamic syrup adds a pop of flavor. It might sound odd to add fruit to pizza, but trust me, this pizza is delicious!

This is perfect for an easy weekday dinner since it takes just over 30 minutes. It can even double as an easy appetizer for the next time you entertain (just cut the slices a little smaller). I use my homemade pizza dough to make it, but your favorite store-bought pizza dough will work! For more pizza recipes, see our ultimate cheese pizza, Margherita pizza, and this butternut squash pizza!

Key Ingredients

• Pizza Dough: I’ve made this with great success with store-bought and homemade pizza dough. The dough shown in our photos is a generic store-bought dough. When I have the time, I love this homemade pizza dough, but use what you have!
• Pear: Choose a juicy and ripe pear. Apples are a great substitute if you don’t have access to pears.
• Onion and Thyme: I saute the onions with olive oil and fresh thyme, which enhances the savory flavors of this pizza. Fennel or shallot would be amazing, too.
• Mozzarella: I love the block mozzarella for this pizza because it melts so nicely. However, you can substitute fresh mozzarella if you prefer it.
• Pecans: These are optional, but I love the crunch they add. Walnuts would be really good, too.
• Balsamic Glaze: You can buy balsamic glaze, so if you have some, use it! If not, our recipe below shares how to make it using plain balsamic vinegar and brown sugar.

I love this sweet and savory pear pizza with mozzarella, onions, and our homemade balsamic glaze. The balsamic syrup adds a pop of flavor and acid.

4 Servings

You Will Need

1 recipe homemade pizza dough or 12 ounces store-bought pizza dough

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

1 pear

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 cup (113g) shredded mozzarella cheese, 4 ounces

1/2 cup pecan halves

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons brown sugar

Directions

1Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.

2Form the pizza dough into a 15-inch by 10-inch rectangle (it doesn’t have to be exact, just close). Place the dough on a baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes.

3Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the sliced onions, thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent and begin to brown around the edges.

4Core and thinly slice the pear. Sprinkle the lemon juice over the cut pear and toss.

5Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the baked pizza crust, then scatter the onions, mozzarella cheese, pear slices, and pecan halves on top.

6Bake the pizza for 6 to 10 minutes until the cheese has melted and starts to bubble.

7While the pizza bakes, add the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar to a small saucepan over medium heat, then bring to a simmer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until thickened to the consistency of a thin syrup.

8Drizzle the balsamic syrup over the baked pear pizza and serve.

Adam and Joanne’s Tips

• Balsamic glaze: Depending on where you shop, you may be able to find a balsamic glaze. If you have this, there is no need to make the balsamic and brown sugar syrup.

My family’s favorite Margherita pizza recipe is simple to make with an authentic no-cook sauce, mozzarella, and fresh basil.

My family goes bonkers for this homemade Margherita pizza. Like many Italian dishes, Margherita pizza (or pizza Margherita) is simple, fresh, and delicious. We use our favorite homemade pizza dough, but feel free to swap in your favorite or use store-bought dough instead!

I love the authentic pizza sauce! It’s so simple to make, and you’ll have it ready in 5 minutes! For more pizza recipes, look at our equally simple cheese pizza, American-style pizza sauce, and this balsamic pear pizza, which is a bit different but still delicious!

Key Ingredients

• Pizza Dough: We love this bubby homemade pizza dough. It’s easy to make and perfect for home kitchens. Plus, you can whip it up the same day or let it sit overnight for a longer, slower rise. Your favorite store-bought dough will also work.
• Tomatoes: Unlike American-style pizza sauce, Margherita pizza sauce is no-cooks and as simple as it gets: crush canned San Marzano (or fresh peeled tomatoes) and mix with olive oil and salt. It’s fresh and so delicious with the mozzarella and basil.
• Mozzarella Cheese: Authentic pizza Margherita has fresh mozzarella. Use fresh, or do what we did in our photos and use shredded mozzarella instead. We love fresh mozzarella on pizza but sometimes find that when cooked in home ovens, it doesn’t melt and brown as quickly and instead releases too much liquid. Shredded mozzarella doesn’t have the same problem.
• Fresh Basil: This doesn’t really count as Margherita pizza without the basil. I add it before baking and scatter a few extra fresh leaves for serving.

Find the full recipe with measurements below.

How to Make Margherita Pizza

Tip 1: Use a really hot oven. At least 30 minutes before you bake your pizza, preheat the oven to 450°F. If you have one, place a pizza steel or pizza stone into the oven before preheating.

Tip 2: Make our no-cook sauce. While the oven preheats, you can make the quick, no-cook pizza sauce. Use your hands or a fork to crush whole peeled tomatoes and stir in olive oil and salt. We use canned San Marzano tomatoes because they taste sweet and flavorful.

Tip 3: Don’t overdo the toppings. When your oven is ready, form and stretch your pizza dough into a large round, and then place it onto a pizza peel or pizza baking pan. Add a thin layer of Margherita pizza sauce and top with mozzarella cheese and fresh basil. Italian pizza usually has less toppings/cheese than American-style, so hold back a little.

Tip 4: Serve with olive oil and basil. Bake your pizza until the crust is bubbly and the cheese is beginning to brown. Then, serve with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh basil scattered on top.

This easy homemade pizza sauce recipe is made completely from scratch with fresh ingredients! Try this delicious sauce on your next pizza, and you’ll never look back.

I make a new batch of this pizza sauce every few weeks. I love it that much. I use it to make homemade pizza and have even started tossing it with pasta and gnocchi (so good!).

If you can put a few ingredients into a pot, you can make this delicious sauce. It is a must-try!

Key Ingredients

• Fresh tomatoes: The star of this sauce! Using fresh tomatoes keeps this pizza sauce light on its feet. I find sauces made with tomato paste heavy and rich. I have successfully used cherry, vine-ripened, heirloom, and Roma tomatoes in this recipe. Canned tomatoes should also work, if that is all that you have. We recommend using canned whole peeled tomatoes.
• Garlic and onion: Add so much flavor. We cook them with fresh tomatoes so they become soft and sweet.
• Oregano and red pepper flakes: These work so well with pizza! Use crushed red pepper or more flavorful gochugaru (Korean pepper flakes).
• Olive oil: Makes our pizza sauce velvety and rich (similar to how we use olive oil to make marinara sauce).

Find the full recipe with measurements below.

How to Make Our Favorite Pizza Sauce

Tip 1: Start by simmering the sauce covered. To make pizza sauce, you’ll combine fresh tomatoes with olive oil, garlic, onion, pepper, oregano, and salt in a covered saucepan and simmer for 30 minutes. This helps break the tomatoes down into a flavorful sauce.

Tip 2: Finish simmering uncovered to thicken. Uncover the pot and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes. During this time, the sauce will concentrate its flavor and become incredibly flavorful. When the sauce is done cooking, blend until your desired consistency.

Ways to Use Homemade Pizza Sauce

Make pizza! Stretch your pizza dough and spoon on your sauce. I keep the sauce application pretty light. You should be able to see through the sauce. Here’s our easy pizza dough recipe! I love using this sauce to make our family’s favorite cheese pizza. For an easier option, make flatbread pizza!

Beyond pizza, this amazing sauce is also great for pasta, lasagna, and gnocchi. Whenever a recipe calls for pasta sauce, use this pizza sauce instead. The garlicky tomato sauce works well in almost any recipe that uses red sauce.

My family loves this homemade cheese pizza recipe! Made with two types of cheese, it’s been on repeat in our home for years. This extra cheesy pizza is perfect for any pizza lover and occasion.

Are you ready to make the best homemade cheese pizza we have ever made? This recipe has become our family’s go-to homemade pizza. It’s super simple and so good!

We have lots of pizza recipes on Inspired Taste. Check out our Margherita pizza, this easy flatbread pizza, or if you are looking for homemade dough, this pizza dough.

Key Ingredients

• Dough: I love using my homemade pizza dough recipe, but any store-bought dough will work.
• Sauce: Your favorite store-bought pizza sauce is perfect! In a pinch, I’ve even used spaghetti sauce. This homemade pizza sauce is great, too.
• Cheese: I use shredded mozzarella (not fresh mozzarella) for that classic pizza melt. A sprinkle of shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano adds a nice salty kick!
• Toppings: Fresh chives and dried oregano are my go-to toppings for this cheese pizza. Chives add a subtle onion-garlic flavor, while oregano gives it that classic pizzeria taste.

How to Make Cheese Pizza

Here’s how to make my family’s favorite cheese pizza! First, we use a good pizza dough and leave it on the counter to warm up a bit before patting it into a thin disc. Then, I’m pretty generous with my sauce (I love this pizza sauce).

Now grab a bowl and toss together shredded mozzarella, parmesan cheese, chives, and oregano. Then, generously scatter the mixture all over the pizza. Last but not least, bake it!

I bake my pizzas in a very hot oven and use a pizza steel. Since not everyone has one, I’ve included all my tips in the recipe below. By the way, I love this pizza topped with a spoonful of giardiniera (which is an herby pickled vegetable relish-so good!).

Our best recipe for cheese pizza! We use our favorite homemade pizza dough, a garlicky pizza sauce, two types of cheese, and herbs.

Makes 1 large pizza

You Will Need

1 batch homemade pizza dough or use store-bought dough

4 to 6 tablespoons pizza sauce, try homemade pizza sauce

1 cup (57g) shredded mozzarella, not fresh mozzarella

1/2 cup (28g) shredded parmesan

1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

All-purpose flour, for forming dough disc

Semolina flour, for dusting pan

Directions

1At least 30 minutes before you plan to bake your pizza, preheat the oven to 450° Fahrenheit (232°C). If you have one, place a pizza steel or pizza stone into the oven before preheating. Personally, we use a higher temperature, see the tips section for our thoughts on what temperature is best for baking pizza at home.

2If your pizza dough is cold, allow it to warm at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.

3When ready to bake your pizza, prepare a pizza peel or pizza pan by dusting it with semolina flour.

4In a medium bowl, mix the shredded mozzarella, parmesan, chives, and oregano together.

5Dust a clean work surface with all-purpose flour, and then form your pizza dough into a round, large enough to fit your pizza peel or pan. To stretch the dough, avoid rolling it out, as this can flatten the bubbles that have formed. Instead, use your fingers to make dimples in the dough, starting from the center and working outwards. Carefully stretch and push the dough to fit your pizza pan or peel. Use a light touch to maintain as many air pockets in the dough as possible.

6Transfer the dough round to your pizza peel or pan, and reform it if it shrinks back a bit.

7Spread pizza sauce over the pizza, leaving a thin edge untouched for the crust. Scatter the cheese mixture over the sauce.

8Bake until the crust is set and golden brown and the cheese has melted with golden spots all over, 6 to 15 minutes, depending on oven temperature. Remove from the oven, cut, and serve.

Adam and Joanne’s Tips

• Oven temperature: We recommend 450° Fahrenheit (232°C) in the recipe, but if you are comfortable with it, increasing the temperature to 550° Fahrenheit (288°C) will provide even better results. If you have a vented hood above your oven, turn it on high. When our oven is heated to such a high temperature, the fire alarm occasionally goes off due to the hot air that escapes when we open our oven door. It’s not a problem, other than the noise, and in our experience, it is remedied with a few fans of a dish towel near the alarm, but it is something to consider. If 550° Fahrenheit (288°C) is too high for you, feel free to use a lower temperature. However, keep in mind that this pizza bakes best between 425° Fahrenheit and 550° Fahrenheit (218°C to 288°C). The lower the temperature, the longer it will take to bake and the less bubbly it will be.
