I have wonderful memories of my trip to Greece many years ago. It was love at first sight. The vibrant colors and the bold flavors of the local cuisine were incredible. As a student on a budget, my favorite, affordable meal was a simple yet flavorful Greek salad.
That perfect blend of fresh ingredients and savory Mediterranean flavors inspired this fabulous Greek pizza, and I’m happy to re-share it with you today!
This recipe is easy to make and tastes so delicious that it is sure to please any meat lovers!
First, the pizza base is made with this (video tutorial below), while the veggies are roasted until soft and delicious in less than 15 minutes before baking the pizza. Roasting is a no-brainer, and it’s so worth it.
You’ll love how the sweetness from the onions and cherry tomatoes creates a delicious balance with the savory feta cheese, juicy olives, and aromatic oregano. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!

Recipe notes & tips
Pizza dough

Feta cheese on pizza?
This delicious made from sheep’s milk or a mixture of sheep and goat’s milk, is crumbly yet moist and adds a ton of flavor. It’s a terrific ingredient for a simple yet delicious homemade pizza!
Greek pizza toppings
Cheese: Feta doesn’t melt, so I used feta and mozzarella cheese. Feta for its tangy, bold flavor, and mozzarella for its creamy texture. Let’s enjoy the best of both worlds. I recommend using feta in brine (the one in the plastic container with salt water). The texture and flavor are much better than the crumbled and vacuum-sealed options.
Kalamata olives: Their strong, fruity flavor and meaty texture make these Greek olives way better than regular black olives and perfect for this recipe.
Oregano: This largely available pantry staple is a must for this Greek pizza.
Veggies: Once roasted, fresh tomatoes and red onions add a ton of flavor to the pizza topping. I recommend using cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes for this recipe.
Extra virgin olive oil: This is the best ingredient for its fruity flavor, but regular olive oil is okay, too.
substitutions
You’re welcome to play around with other delicious add-ins for a terrific combination of flavors; below are a few ingredients that we LOVE:
- Sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, wilted spinach leaves, and marinated artichoke hearts work well in this Greek-style pizza topping. But make sure not to use cucumber, a classic ingredient in Greek cuisine, which is out of the question for pizza! Let’s make sauce with cucumber! 😂
- Garlic and fresh basil taste are delicious, too!
- You’re also welcome to add shredded roasted chicken; it will pair well with the other ingredients!

Greek pizza with feta cheese.
If you're looking for a pizza recipe bursting with flavor, this scrumptious Greek pizza with feta cheese is for you! The vegetarian topping is made with red onions and tomatoes, aromatic oregano, Greek olives, and rich, tangy feta cheese. It tastes amazing! The recipe yields 2 large portions or 6 slices.
Greek pizza topping
- 4 oz (110 grams) mozzarella in water (or from ½ to ⅔ cup shredded firm mozzarella – see notes below)
- 4 oz (110 grams) feta, crumbled
- 1 ½ cup (200 grams) cherry tomatoes, cut into halves
- 2 medium-sized red onions, cut into wedges
- ½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved lengthwise
- 1-2 Tablespoons dried oregano, according to taste
- salt and pepper
Instructions
Pizza dough
- Follow the through step 5, including shaping the pizza and preheating the oven with a pizza stone inside.
Greek pizza topping
- Roast the veggies: Preheat the oven to 240°C/465°F and place the rack in the lowest position. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the halved tomatoes and the onion wedges on the sheet. Season with salt and pepper, spray or drizzle a little olive oil, and sprinkle some oregano. Roast them in the hot oven for about 10-15 minutes, until they get soft.
- Prepare the cheese: Crumble the feta and, if using fresh whole mozzarella cheese in water, cut it into ½-inch thick pieces. If the mozzarella cheese is very watery, you may want to dab it with a paper towel to remove excess moisture (see notes in the recipe card).
- Shape the dough: When the dough is ready and fluffy, follow step 5, place the dough on a parchment paper sheet, and starting from the center, gently press it out with your fingers until you get approximately a 9×13 inch pizza. Then, gently place the dough and the parchment paper onto a pizza peel or onto the back of a rimmed baking sheet.
- Add the topping: Top the dough evenly with mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, onion wedges, olives, and crumbled feta. Finish with oregano and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. (I don't add salt here; the roasted veggies and feta are salty enough.)
- Bake the pizza: Use the pizza peel to carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone (see notes below in the recipe card). Bake the pizza until the cheese and crust are nicely browned. Each oven is different, so keep an eye on it (e.g., in a forced fan oven, it will take about 8 minutes).
- Serve: Allow the pizza to cool for a minute or two, then slice, serve, and enjoy!
