Put a twist on pizza night with this Mediterranean Hummus Pizza!

By using hummus as the base instead of pizza sauce, you’ll add a wonderful texture and taste of the Mediterranean-inspired flavors you love.

Easy Hummus Pizza

Using flatbread as the crust means that you don’t have to bake the crust in a hot oven or even make a homemade pizza crust either. It’s a little pizza crust hack that gives the perfect texture and taste every single time.

The feta cheese and olives create a perfectly salty bite every time – and one that you’re not soon to forget.

Even the kids give this pizza recipe two thumbs up – which every mom knows is one of the best “food ratings” in the world.

Don’t forget that you can easily make homemade hummus in a couple of minutes and use it for this recipe at a fraction of the cost than store-bought.

Hummus Pizza Base

Spreading hummus on delicious naan bread as the pizza base is such a nice shortcut! Not only that, but it’s the perfect texture between thin crust and thick crust and holds up well with the other strong flavors on top!

Hummus Pizza Toppings

The best way to create a pizza that everyone will love is to let them add on their favorite toppings!

Below are just some topping suggestions for what flavors pair well with hummus and give that pizza a delicious Mediterranean pizza!

Here are the toppings that we used to make this pizza:

• Kalamata olives: salty olives add the best flavor!
• roasted red peppers: the roasted flavor is delicious.
• shredded Mozzarella cheese: any type of shredded cheese will work, but mozzarella is always a good idea.
• crumbled feta cheese: don’t leave off the feta! (but you can add other types like goat cheese as well)

How Long to Bake these Hummus Pizzas

Cook time is a breeze since you’re really only warming up the toppings that are on the pizza. Once you preheat the oven to 400 degrees, it will take just 7 minutes of baking time to create the perfect pizza.

Since the naan bread that you’re using as the crust is already cooked and baked, the time that it’s in the oven is just to melt and warm up the toppings.

Just in case, keep an eye on the naan bread to make sure that it doesn’t burn while warming up. You can watch the edges or use a spatula and slowly lift up the naan bread to get a peek of the bottom.
