Ingredients for Greek Feta Pizza
Greek pizza isn’t authentically Greek, it’s classic Italian pizza with Mediterranean-style toppings. Many restaurants and pizzerias serve a version of this pizza and use different toppings. We’ve adapted these with the ingredients we like to see on a Greek pizza, but feel free to customize them to suit your tastes if you prefer different ones. Here are the items you will need:
- Pizza dough: Our favorites are Best Pizza Dough, Thin Crust Pizza Dough, and Baked Pizza Dough, but there are a few other options below
- Pizza sauce: This homemade pizza sauce is a must! The taste is the best you will ever have (we promise)
- Grated mozzarella cheese: holds everything together like glue
- feta cheese: the feta is a must! He just gives the right salty flavor to the cake
- baby spinach
- Kalamata olives (Optional)
- artichoke hearts
- Red onion
- cherry tomatoes
- Dried oregano
- Fresh basilFor garnish
Again, you can customize to your own taste if you prefer Greek pizza with different ingredients. Other options include sundried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, cured meats, or chicken.
For the pizza dough
The trick to the best Greek pizza? Homemade pizza dough. There are several pizza dough options that we have developed over the years: the first is our workhorse and the best for making amazing artisan pizzas. The best way to do this is with a pizza stone. Or, if you prefer, try one of our other methods for the dough: like a thick crust pizza or a large plate pizza, it’s 3 pizzas in 1! Here are the pizza dough options:
- Best Pizza Dough: The Standard! This pizza dough makes a medium-sized, artisan-style pizza; It works best on a pizza stone. A pizza peel is helpful to transfer the dough to the stone (see below).
- Thin crust pizza dough: This variation is a little easier because you can roll it out instead of stretching it.
- Pizza Oven Dough: Do you have a pizza oven? This is the dough recipe for you.
- Perfect Skillet Pizza: Make your pizza in a cast iron skillet! Takes a little longer but doesn’t require any special tools. Makes a medium sized pizza.
- BEST BBQ PIZZA: This makes a recipe the size of 3 pizzas on a large baking sheet: perfect for serving a crowd!
Homemade pizza sauce is a must
The key to this Greek pizza? Homemade Pizza Sauce! Although you can use a store-bought sauce if you like, we highly recommend making the homemade version. The taste is unreal! Here’s what you need to know:
- Fire roasted tomatoes and garlic work magic. One spoonful and you’ll sing its praises! Fire Roasted Canned Tomatoes have a sweet, smoky flavor straight out of the can. They are important for the taste, so it is worth looking for them! Look for canned tomatoes at your local grocery store: they’re becoming increasingly popular and are sold by several different brands.
- It takes 5 minutes in a blender! It doesn’t need to be simmered: just put everything in a blender and whisk. This is one of our most popular recipes on the site!
If you choose the standard pizza dough recipe, the following tools will come in handy for baking the bottom. Again, if you selected the skillet pizza or skillet pizza recipes above, no additional tools are needed!

The description
This Greek Feta Pizza is loaded with Mediterranean flavors! Fill it with colorful veggies for a cake everyone will love.
- ⅓ cup Homemade Pizza Sauce
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 cups Baby spinach or chopped spinach
- 1 a pinch of salt and garlic powder
- 4 Kalamata olives, halved (optional)
- ¼ cup chopped artichoke hearts
- 1 Handful of red onion slices
- 4 Cherry tomatoes, quartered
- ½ cup grated mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup feta cheese
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- 4 basil leaves (optional)
- Prepare pizza dough: Follow the Best Pizza Dough, Thin Crust Pizza Dough, or Pizza Oven Dough recipes to prepare the dough. (It takes about 15 minutes and 45 minutes to rest.)
- Place a pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 500°F. OR preheat your pizza oven (this is the pizza oven we use).
- Prepare pizza sauce: Do it Homemade Pizza Sauce. (You will use about ⅓ cup for the pizza; save the remaining sauce and refrigerate for up to 1 week.)
- Preparation of the toppings: Heat the olive oil in a small pan. Add the spinach, 1 pinch of salt and 1 pinch of garlic powder. Sauté over medium heat for 2 minutes until spinach is tender. Halve the Kalamata olives, chop the artichoke hearts, thinly slice the red onion and cut the cherry tomatoes into wedges.
- Bake pizza: When the oven is done, dust a pizza peel with corn or semolina flour. (If you don’t have a pizza peel, you can use a rimmed baking sheet or the back of a rimmed baking sheet. But a pizza peel is worth the investment!) Roll out the dough in a circle; For instructions, see How to stretch pizza dough. Then carefully place the dough on the pizza peel.
- Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on the dough. Add mozzarella cheese. Garnish with spinach, olives, artichokes, red onions and tomatoes. Sprinkle with feta cheese and dried oregano. Add a few pinches of kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
- Use the pizza peel to carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone. Bake the pizza until the cheese and crust are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes in the oven (or 1-2 minutes in a pizza oven).
- Let the pizza cool for a minute or two before adding the basil (whole, lightly torn, or thinly sliced leaves). Cut into pieces and serve immediately.
