This delicious Greek Flatbread incorporates all those Greek flavors that you love in one easy to make recipe that is completely customizable!

Greek Flatbread Pizza is one of our favorite weeknight meals. Anything Mediterranean or Greek style is another favorite, so we've got the best of both worlds in a fun dish that's easy to assemble, and sure to please everyone.
In fact, pleasing everyone is part of what makes this such a great and easy recipe. It's totally customizable to your family's tastes and preferences. We made ours with shrimp, but this flatbread would be equally delicious with chicken, or in a vegetarian version.
If you have an air fryer you would love making these Greek Style Chicken Skewers or Greek Chicken Bowls and then use some of the chicken on the flatbread. Or you can use the flatbread as an appetizer and have the chicken with Yogurt Sauce for your main. Yum!
We finished our easy flatbread recipe with diced cucumbers and a creamy cucumber Ranch drizzle. Cucumbers not your thing? Try topping with Greek Salad Dressing or a sprinkling of micro greens and a balsamic drizzle instead. If they are your thing we suggest our Mediterranean Cucumber Salad.
Ingredient Notes
- Flatbread: We used Artisan Thin Pizza Crust by Flat Out, but you could use all different types of flatbreads. Use naan, pita bread, or even a flour tortilla if you prefer! If you're feeling extra fancy, make homemade pita bread!
- Protein: We used shrimp on this Mediterranean flatbread, but you could use chicken, steak, or leave the meat off.
- Pesto: A store-bought pesto will work perfectly for this recipe.
- Cucumber Ranch Salad Dressing: If you can't find this, or prefer a different sauce, a creamy Greek dressing, tzatziki sauce, or Greek Yogurt Sauce would be perfect!
- Toppings: We used Roma or campari tomato slices, fresh mozzarella cheese, crumbled feta cheese, cooked shrimp, kalamata olives, cucumber, basil, and prosciutto strips. You could also add artichoke hearts, red onion, green onions, black olives, sun-dried tomatoes, red peppers, or any other Greek ingredients you love.
How to Make This Easy Greek Flatbread
- Start by slicing the tomatoes and laying them in a single layer on a plate. Sprinkle them lightly with salt and set them aside to release some of their liquid. This is a method I use often when cooking with tomatoes and is demonstrated in a video on the Crustless Tomato Pie recipe. The salt and time to drain draws excess fluid from the tomatoes and keeps your dish from becoming soggy.
- Brush the flatbreads with olive oil and bake them in a preheated 375°F oven for 2-3 minutes, just until they're lightly crispy.
- Remove the flatbreads from the oven and brush them with pesto, then drain the tomatoes and blot them with paper towels if needed to remove any excess liquid.
- Top the flatbreads with the tomatoes, mozzarella, feta, shrimp, kalamata olives, and prosciutto (if using). If you like your prosciutto crispy, you can brown it in a skillet before adding it to the pizza.
- Bake the flatbread pizzas in a preheated 425°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the flatbreads are crispy around the edges.
- Remove the pizzas from the oven and top them with fresh basil, diced cucumbers, and a drizzle of cucumber ranch dressing, if desired.
- Slice the Greek flatbread pizzas into wedges and serve them hot. Enjoy!
Expert Tips
- Salt the tomatoes before adding them to the pizza. Salting the tomatoes and letting them sit for a few minutes helps draw out some of their liquid, which prevents the flatbread from getting too soggy.
- Customize the toppings to your liking. The great thing about this Greek flatbread pizza recipe is that it's so easy to customize with your favorite toppings. Don't like shrimp? Leave them off and add some sliced red onions instead. Love extra cheese? Pile on the feta and mozzarella. The possibilities are endless!
- Use a preheated pizza stone for extra crispy flatbreads. If you have a pizza stone, preheat it in the oven before adding the flatbreads. The hot stone will help the flatbreads get extra crispy and give them a nice char around the edges.
- Don't overload the flatbreads with toppings. While it can be tempting to pile on the toppings, be careful not to overload the flatbreads. Too many toppings can make the flatbreads soggy and difficult to eat. Stick to a moderate amount of each topping for the best results.
Storage Recommendations
Store – Leftover Greek flatbread pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the flatbread on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes, or until heated through.
Freeze – We don't recommend freezing this recipe as the texture of the toppings will be negatively affected.
Recipe FAQs
For this Greek flatbread recipe we used the rectangular Artisan Thin Pizza Crust by Flat Out. Being quite thin, but tasty, they make a wonderful base for whatever flavors they're topped with, but with minimal calories (130 each).
You could also use naan like we did in our Lobster Flatbread. It's a little thicker, which makes it perfect for cutting into small appetizer-sized pieces like we did with our Burrata and Pistachio Flatbread.
You could even use a flour tortilla!
A little olive oil and 2-3 minutes in a 375 degree oven is the best way to keep whatever flatbread you choose crispy for the rest of those toppings.
Absolutely! While mozzarella and feta are classic Greek pizza toppings, you can use any type of cheese you like. Goat cheese, Parmesan, or even cheddar would be delicious on this flatbread pizza.
Yes, you can definitely grill these Greek flatbread pizzas instead of baking them. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and place the assembled flatbreads directly on the grates. Grill for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the flatbreads are crispy around the edges. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
