This recipe uses shop-bought flatbread to make it quicker – but definitely try my homemade vegan flatbread recipe if you have the time and/or desire!

Another fun twist on pizza that you might like to try are these Taco Bell copycat Mexican tortilla pizzas.

Ingredient Notes

The exact quantities of the ingredients you need for this recipe are included in the recipe card at the bottom of this post. Here, I’ve added a few notes on the ingredients you need, plus a few potential substitutions you could make if you can’t eat/find a certain ingredient.

Flatbread: I opt for the oval-shaped flatbreads for this recipe, but you could go for the extra-large flatbreads to enjoy your pizza family-style.
Garlic Butter: Garlic butter is an optional addition, but it does elevate your flatbread a lot! Leave it out if you want lower calories.
Sun-dried tomato pesto: The sun-dried tomato pesto (red pesto) adds amazing flavor to this flatbread pizza recipe. Alternatively, you could use tomato paste, green pesto, a marinara sauce or just leave it out entirely.
Cheese: This flatbread pizza recipe uses fresh sliced mozzarella. You just use shredded mozzarella, but I wouldn’t recommend another type of cheese as mozzarella melts the best!
Toppings: Use whatever toppings you like best on your pizza for your own flatbread pizza. I used zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes, green olives, and red onion for this recipe.
Other additions: After cooking your pizza, a final drizzle of balsamic glaze, hot honey, and some fresh basil takes your flatbread pizza from good to amazing. They’re optional additions, but worth it if you have them!
