Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pre-made pizza crust or pizza dough
  • 1 cup spinach leaves, washed and chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup sliced tomatoes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Olive oil for drizzling
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the pre-made pizza crust or pizza dough packaging.
  2. If using pre-made dough, roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Place the dough on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
  3. Spread a thin layer of olive oil over the dough to prevent it from getting soggy. Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the surface.
  4. Evenly distribute the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, sliced black olives, and sliced tomatoes over the pizza.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle a little more olive oil over the top.
  6. Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for the recommended time on the pizza crust or dough packaging, usually around 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Once cooked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

If you prefer a crispier crust, you can pre-bake the dough for a few minutes before adding the toppings. This will prevent a soggy center. If desired, you can also add a scoop of marinara sauce onto the pizza dough as a red sauce base. Feel free to add other ingredients to customize your pizza such as sliced red onions, roasted red peppers, or crumbled Greek sausage. For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle a little balsamic glaze over the pizza after it comes out of the oven. Serve the pizza with a Greek salad for a complete Mediterranean-inspired meal. Enjoy!
