Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base and Toppings

  • 1 pound pre-made pizza dough
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 cup feta cheese, divided

Salad Toppings

  • 1 cup arugula
  • 1/4 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

Garnish

  • Oregano for garnish
  • Crushed red pepper flakes for garnish
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dough: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). On a clean cutting board, roll out the pre-made pizza dough into a circular shape to form the pizza base. Transfer the shaped dough onto a baking tray and brush the surface evenly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  2. Add Seasoning and Cheese: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the dough and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of oregano evenly across the surface. Then, generously sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza.
  3. Top with Olives and Tomatoes: Scatter 1/4 cup of kalamata olives and 1/4 cup of sun-dried tomatoes over the mozzarella. Sprinkle half (1/2 cup) of the feta cheese on top.
  4. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Using a baking stone can reduce baking time.
  5. Prepare the Greek Salad: While the pizza bakes, combine 1 cup of arugula, 1/4 cup diced cucumber, 1/4 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion, and the remaining 1/2 cup of feta cheese in a medium mixing bowl.
  6. Make the Dressing: In a mason jar or small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper until thoroughly mixed.
  7. Toss Salad with Dressing: Add 2 tablespoons of the prepared Greek dressing to the salad mixture and toss lightly. Adjust and add more dressing if desired to suit your taste.
  8. Assemble the Pizza: Once the pizza is baked, transfer it to a cutting board. Top the pizza evenly with the dressed Greek salad mixture.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle additional oregano and crushed red pepper flakes over the pizza for extra flavor and a touch of heat. Optionally, drizzle with balsamic glaze and garnish with fresh parsley before slicing and serving. Enjoy your flavorful Greek Pizza!

Notes

  • You can enhance the pizza by adding ingredients such as artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, chickpeas, goat cheese, fresh herbs, or spinach to customize the flavors.
  • Try using hummus as a base sauce on the pizza instead of olive oil for a different Mediterranean twist.
