Greek Pizza
Published on April 08, 2013
Tonight the madness will end. Who will win the big dance-Michigan or Louisville? I didnโt pick either team, my bracket got messed up a long time ago. I am not sure who I will cheer for, probably Michigan. I have to route for the Big Ten team. I just hope itโs an entertaining game. Iโve spent a lot of hours watching basketball over the past few weeks and I hope the final game is a good one.
I asked Josh if he wanted anything special for dinner and of course he said pizza. He said pizza is a must for championship night. I am ok with that. You canโt beat a good game of basketball and pizza. We are making our new favorite pizza-Greek Pizza. If you are a fan of Greek Salad, you will love this pizza. It has all of the same ingredients and flavors, but instead of a salad you get pizza! Kind of awesome, right?
I am totally cheating tonight and using Trader Joeโs whole wheat pizza dough. You can make the dough from scratch, we usually do, but tonight I am keeping it easy so we can focus on the game! The pizza crust gets topped with olive oil, mozzarella cheese, and red onion. Bake until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.
When the pizza comes out of the oven sprinkle on all of the fun Greek toppings-cucumber, tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese. Oh-and donโt forget the tzatziki sauce. It is amazing on this pizza-donโt skip it. If youโve never made tzatziki sauce before, try out our favorite recipe. Donโt worry, itโs so easy and super tasty. Itโs a staple in our house. You can whip it up while the pizza is in the oven.
This Greek Pizza is fresh, flavorful, and a fun way to mix up pizza night. Give it a try! Itโs perfect for Meatless Monday AND championship Monday! Head on over to Tasty Kitchen for the recipe and step-by-step photos! Enjoy the pizza and the game!

Ohhhhh yum, we made this pizza last night! It was so delicious, I canโt stop thinking about. We also made your homemade Tzatziki Sauce, which turned out amazing. Thank you for sharing! I will definitely add this to my list of favorite recipes! ๐
I love this recipe it looks beautiful, but as a Kentuckian itโll eat me alive if I donโt tell you that the University of Kentucky is in Lexington, not Louisville. Very big difference as far as the cities go. That said, thanks and I canโt wait to try this!
