Comments
The size of the pita bread makes this the perfect snack/light meal for 1.
It is essential that you buy fresh mozarella cheese and grate it yourself for the right consistency. The store brought grated mozarella cheese has special non-stick coating that prevents them from melting together nicely.
I personally really enjoy the simplicity of the Margherita pizza. It should go without saying that this recipe can be easily modified to add more toppings.
