Perfect twist on a traditional pizza.
This Mediterranean inspired Hummus Pizza is delicious and packed full of flavor. Hummus, salty olives and feta, and a fresh bite with cherry tomatoes and red onion. A great lunch, dinner, or appetizer!
Pizza Crust!
I like to use a pre-made pizza dough/crust to make this dish even simpler. The Pillsbury thin & crispy pizza crust, found by the cans of cinnamon rolls, is super tasty and cooks up quickly and evenly.
A homemade or store bought fresh pizza dough will work great – just follow your usual baking instructions!
The crust will be fully baked before adding your toppings and does not go back in the oven once topped.
Hummus Pizza Toppings
Alright, we’ve talked pizza dough – let’s talk about the pizza toppings that make this so good!
Pizza is all about the toppings, at least in my mind. This pizza brings all the mediterranean flavors.
I used:
- pesto hummus
- chopped red onion
- cherry tomatoes
- green olives
- kalamata olives
- feta
- marinated artichoke hearts
- pepperoncini
I also topped with some flaky salt and fresh cracked pepper. It needs very little salt given many of these toppings are already salty.
Use your favorite classic hummus or switch it up with a flavored hummus – so many options to really customize the flavor profile of the pizza.
If you’re not a fan of olives (a hot take) – remove them! Customize the toppings to your liking!
More Protein?
Cooked, chopped chicken would be a great addition to this pizza if you’re looking for more protein or to beef it up for dinner. Just ensure the chicken is fully cooked as it won’t be heated in the oven.
You could drizzle Tzatziki sauce over the top – a greek yogurt based sauce which will provide a protein kick and a saucier pizza (if that’s what you’re into)!
Looking for something else with similar Mediterranean flavors – Greek Tzatziki Pasta Bowls are a crowd favorite!
