Recipe: Pita Pizzas

One of my favorite cheats definitely is pizza! I LOVE PIZZA. But, I like to replace a regular pizza with a healthier version. Everybody is familiar with the tortilla pizzas, but I like to have different kinds of topping and eating 3 tortilla pizzas is way to much for me. So I decided to use whole wheat pita's! I made 4 pizzas with 4 different toppings, so me and my boyfriend ate them together for lunch. Read on if you want the recipes!
