Pita Pizza #2: Sweet & Sour


Here's part 2 from the leftover goodies from my fridge and pantry. If you haven't seen part-1: Pita Pizza #1: Sausage. Check it out. Number 2 is a a sweet and sour pita pizza. It's a take on the pineapple and Canadian bacon pizza. Just minus the bacon, but full of fresh garlic.

I still had some sweet and sour sauce left. The nice thing about that sauce is that it keeps for a long time due to the vinegar. I had gotten a fresh pineapple from the grocery from last weekend that had just gotten ripe and cheese. It was perfect timing. Simple, easy and only takes minutes to put together.

All I can say is that it's really good. The sweet and sour sauce blends perfectly with the pineapple and cheese. The garlic adds a nice touch to it. I love my garlic. Have your favorite drink on hand because this is too good to not try.

Serves 1 or 2.



Sweet & Sour Pita Pizza

1 large pita bread
1/3 c sweet and sour sauce
1/2 c pineapple tidbits
1 c shredded mozzarella
2 large garlic clove (minced)


Preheat oven to 400˚F
Spread the sweet and sour sauce on the pita bread leaving room around the edge for the crust.

Top with the pineapple then cheese and garlic.

Baked for 10 min.

    I love the smell of fresh garlic cooking on a pizza. Pineapple is one of my favorite toppings too so I know I would really dig this pizza.

    We can always count on you to have something creative. Sweet and sour sauce on pizza is not something we'd think of, but it works.

    Looks yummy, especially with the addition of garlic. You're getting good use out of that pita bread! Growing up in Vancouver, ham & pineapple were my favorite pizza toppings. I was in for a big shock when I moved to New York - 'whaddya mean you don't have ham & pineapple?!' And I still don't get how people can eat plain pizza.

    Great thought to use pita as the crust. I've heard of tortilla pizzas, but I always thought they'd be too thin. Pita is a much better thickness. Sounds great!

    Elra, Greg: Thanks.

    Phyllis: I think I would have reacted the same way.

    Pooja: Yes, they do!

    Lisa: As much as I love torillas, I still need a little thickness in my crusts.

    What kind of pitas do you buy? I never know which ones to get at the market and end up with a lame loaf of bread instead.
