This Mediterranean Za’atar Flatbread Pizza is a quick and flavorful twist on traditional pizza, perfect for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings. Infused with fragrant za’atar, creamy feta, and vibrant toppings, it brings a burst of Mediterranean flair to your table.
The base of our pizza is a store-bought flatbread, which saves time and provides a perfectly crispy foundation. We brush it with a bit of olive oil and a sprinkle of minced garlic to infuse the crust with rich flavor. Feta cheese adds a tangy creaminess, while cherry tomatoes bring a juicy sweetness. Red onions add a sharp bite, and Kalamata olives deepen the Mediterranean vibe with their briny goodness. A sprinkle of Za’atar spice blend ties everything together with its aromatic, herbal notes. Once baked, we finish with fresh parsley and arugula for a peppery freshness, and a dash of crushed red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
This flatbread pizza pairs beautifully with a simple side salad dressed in lemon and olive oil. If you’re entertaining, consider serving it alongside a mezze platter with hummus, baba ganoush, and a selection of marinated olives.
First, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s nice and hot when you slide in the flatbreads. While it heats up, grab a baking sheet and place your flatbreads on it. Brush each one with a generous layer of olive oil—it helps crisp up the crust and adds a lovely golden color.
Next, sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the flatbreads. This will give your pizza a fragrant, savory base. Then, scatter the crumbled feta cheese over the top. Be generous here; the feta melts beautifully and complements the other toppings.
Now, arrange your halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onions, and Kalamata olives over the cheese. Try to distribute them evenly so each bite gets a bit of everything. Season with a sprinkle of za’atar, salt, and pepper to taste. The za’atar really elevates the dish with its unique, earthy flavor.
Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes. You’re looking for the cheese to melt and the edges of the flatbread to become crispy and golden brown.
Once they’re out of the oven, immediately top with fresh parsley and arugula. These fresh greens add a burst of color and a peppery bite that perfectly balances the rich toppings. Finally, sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat.
