This quick Mediterranean-Style flatbread pizza makes the perfect lunch, light dinner or appetizer for a crowd!

If the title “15-minute flatbread pizza” intrigued, it means I’m not alone in searching for easy light dishes that require almost no cooking. You are in good company!

Flatbread pizza is just as it sounds, pizza where the crust is made of flatbread. No, you do not need to make flatbread from scratch for this, the secret time-saver is store-bought flatbread. Any flatbread–whatever you use for wraps, pita bread, or even naan–will work for the crust.

And for toppings? Take permission to clear out your fridge!

Flatbread Pizza Toppings

My flatbread pizza toppings take on a Mediterranean accent, no surprise here. I chose a combination of feta cheese and part-skim ricotta; some garden veggies like tomatoes and baby spinach; and other Mediterranean flavor makers including olives, marinated artichokes, and sun-dried tomatoes.

Again, choose whatever toppings you like here. Other veggies and greens will work really well in this pizza, and if you want to add protein, opt for already cooked options like rotisserie chicken or cooked shrimp. This flatbread pizza is not really cooked in the oven, we just give it a quick warm-through. So that’s why it’s important to use toppings that don’t require cooking.

Serve this Flatbread Pizza for a light meal or appetizer

This gorgeous pizza makes a great quick lunch or light dinner with a side salad of sorts, but I’ve been using this idea more as an appetizer. Add other small plates for sharing like: Moroccan meatballs; grilled shrimp; classic hummus; Spanish Tuna and Potato Salad

How to Make this Easy Flatbread Pizza Recipe

1. Grab any flatbread of your choosing. I had some Flatout Flatbread handy, so that’s what I used. But, pita bread or even naan would serve the purpose here and will feel more sturdy.If you like a little more crunch and color to the flatbread, give them a quick bake in the oven first before adding toppings. This works well with thinner flatbread.

2. Give the flatbread a quick brush of good extra virgin olive oil and add your toppings, starting with cheese. I used a combination of part-skim ricotta and feta cheese and some garden veggies including tomatoes and spinach.

3. Throw flatbread pizza in the oven. I chose to switch my oven to broil and add my flatbread pizza in for just 3 minutes or so to warm through. But, if you end up using a thicker flatbread option like pita or naan, you might like to just bake it for 5 to 7 minutes or so in a medium-heated oven. Slice and enjoy!
