Tips & Variations

  • Substitute spinach pesto with traditional basil pesto or a garlic hummus spread.
  • Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes if you enjoy a bit of heat.
  • Use gluten-free flatbread crusts if you need a gluten-free option.

Storage

Store any leftover flatbread pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the flatbread on a baking sheet and warm in a 350-degree oven for 5–7 minutes until heated through and crispy. Avoid microwaving to keep the crust crisp.

Can I make this pizza vegetarian or vegan?

Yes, this recipe is naturally vegetarian. For a vegan version, substitute the mozzarella and feta with plant-based cheese alternatives and ensure the pesto contains no cheese.
