What do you do when you need to clean up your fridge? Well, you make pizza of course! We had little bits of everything leftover sitting in the fridge and so we decided to make a quick pita pizza topped with prosciutto, mushrooms and arugula. It not only helped clear our fridge of leftovers, it also made for a perfect lunch! So if you’ve got some leftover meat, marinara sauce, cheese and greens, here’s how you can use them:
Pita Pizza with Prosciutto, Mushrooms and Arugula
Author: sprinkles and sauce
Recipe type: Lunch
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 3-4
Ingredients
- 4 pitas
- 1 cup of marinara sauce
- 1 cup of shredded smoked mozzarella
- 12 slices of prosciutto
- 1 cup of fried mushrooms
- a handful of arugula
Instructions
- Fry up the mushrooms with butter and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Spread marinara sauce on your pitas and top each one with a little bit of the smoked mozza.
- Evenly divide the proscuitto and fried mushrooms on all four pitas.
- Top with the remaining shredded mozza.
- Broil the pita pizzas until the cheese has melted.
- Finish off by topping each one with arugula.

These pitas looks fantastic and such an awesome way to use up leftovers 🙂
Many thanks Kelly! 🙂
hi kelly! the whole thing was real easy to throw together and so we had bellies full of pizza and a clean fridge by the end of the week!
You made a great looking lunch from what you have in your refrigerator. 🙂
Appreciate your kind words!
I love using pita bread to make pizza! So delicious and quite healthy too!
Thanks Amanda!
Those pitas look delicious! I just made a batch and have a few leftover. This would be a delicious and easy lunch to take to work. Thanks!
For sure! Hope it worked out for you!
I loooove “refrigerator clean-out” pizza! And this one is awesome – doesn’t smoked mozzarella just elevate everything it touches?!? Yum! Love that it’s so quick and easy, too! “D
Yes! I totally agree with you on smoked mozza also!
Nothing like a quick pizza and pita makes a wonderful crust, the toppings are delicious!
Thank you Suzanne!
Why does your pita pizza look so unbelievable??
I don’t know! haha! Thanks! 🙂
How creative! What a quick and easy way to make a pizza 🙂
Appreciate your feedback Heather!
Leftovers or not…this is a great pizza! 🙂 ela
Thanks Ela!
The pita pizza trick is one of the best sneaky food plans ever! I especially love how you can add anything you want and really clean out the crisper. 🙂
For sure! Agreed!
Left over Pizza sounds soo good! I think I will try it 🙂
Great! I am certain you’ll like it a lot! 😉
Great combination for a pizza. And since I’m dough-a-phobic and can’t make my own pizza crust, nor even manage to roll out a premade crust …. true!, I always turn to pitas or Naan. Thanks for this! Will try soon.
I have a hard time rolling out a crust myself! I always ask my hubby to do that for me! Glad you like using pitas also! 🙂
What a great way to use up those leftover ingredients in the fridge and for a quick and easy weeknight meal!
Thanks so much Chris!
I would make this combination even if it wasn’t the leftovers 🙂
Wow! Thanks a lot! That means a lot to us!
Delicious looking pizza! Great toppings combo.
Thanks very much!
