Save A quick and crispy pizza made with a tortilla wrap as the base and customizable pantry toppings—perfect for a speedy, satisfying meal.
I first tried making tortilla pizza on a busy weeknight when I craved pizza but didn't want the hassle of traditional dough. This method became our go-to for movie nights and snack cravings because everyone can add their favorite toppings.
Ingredients
- Base: 2 large flour tortillas (8–10 inch)
- Sauce: 1/2 cup (120 ml) tomato passata or canned tomato sauce, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste
- Cheese: 3/4 cup (75 g) shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup (25 g) grated parmesan cheese (optional)
- Pantry Toppings (choose any combination): 1/4 cup (35 g) canned sliced black olives (drained), 1/4 cup (30 g) jarred roasted red peppers (sliced), 1/4 cup (30 g) artichoke hearts (drained and chopped), 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes (chopped), 1/4 cup (35 g) canned corn (drained), 1/4 cup (35 g) canned mushrooms (drained and sliced)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven or Heat Skillet:
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) or set a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Prepare Tortilla Base:
- Place each tortilla on a baking sheet or oven-safe skillet.
- Mix Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix the tomato passata with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Spread Sauce:
- Spread a thin layer of sauce over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.

Notes
Add drained canned tuna, cooked sausage, or pepperoni for a non-vegetarian version. Try pesto instead of tomato sauce for a new twist. Brush tortilla lightly with olive oil for extra crispiness. Serve with salad or chili flakes for heat; pairs well with light Italian red wine.
Dietary Variations
Use gluten-free tortillas and non-dairy cheese for a gluten-free and vegan pizza. Mix up the toppings by using grilled vegetables or fresh herbs for more flavor.
Save Enjoy your customized tortilla pizza fresh from the oven. It's perfect for kids, adults, and everyone who loves pizza with a fun twist.
