Tips For Success

Use Fresh Ingredients: If possible, use fresh pineapple for a brighter, sweeter flavor, though canned works just as well in a pinch.
Prep Ahead: Slice your onions and drain the pineapple in advance to save time during assembly.
Crispier Crust: For an extra-crispy crust, bake the plain pita bread for 2 minutes before adding toppings.
Even Toppings: Spread your cheese and toppings evenly so each bite is balanced and flavorful.
Watch the Bake Time: Keep an eye on the pizzas while baking; the high oven temperature can make them go from perfect to overdone quickly.
Customize Your Pizzas: Add other toppings like bell peppers, olives, or mushrooms if desired, but don’t overload the pita to avoid sogginess.
Serve Immediately: These pizzas are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven for maximum crispiness and melted cheesy goodness.

You can use naan, flatbread, or even pre-baked pizza crusts as an alternative. If you need a gluten-free option, gluten-free pita bread works perfectly as well.
