Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to low broil. Wash and dry produce. • Place pitas on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Divide marinara between pitas and spread out in an even layer. Top with as much pepperoni as you like. Sprinkle with Italian cheese blend. • Bake pita pizzas on middle rack until pita edges are golden brown and cheese melts, 4-5 minutes.
• Trim, peel, and cut carrots into sticks (like fries; ours were 3 inches long and 1⁄3 inch thick). • Trim and thinly slice cucumber into rounds. • Halve grapes if desired.
• Let pepperoni pita pizzas cool, 2-3 minutes. • Cut pizzas into six slices each. • Drizzle pizzas with as much dressing as you like.
• To serve: Divide pepperoni pita pizzas between plates and serve with carrot sticks, cucumber rounds, grapes, and any remaining dressing on the side. • To stash: Let pizzas cool completely before packing for lunch. Refrigerate everything in separate containers until ready to pack. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container.

Reviews from our home cooks
My kids enjoyed putting this together and it made for a quick healthy lunch option for my littles. For the serving size it came with a lot of extra pepperoni that they snacked on later.
This was so easy & delicious! I had low expectations but the pita bread & sauce were so good. I got 2 lunches out of this meal. I'm pregnant so I'm not feeling gourmet cooking right now. I would get this again!
This is a new favorite for my kids! We sent them to school in the lunchboxes and the kids ate the pizza cold and couldn't wait to have it again! Easy prep and great instructions for the most beginner chef to prepare!
My kid loved this and tried cucumbers for the first time!
Such a quick and simple recipe. My toddler loved it.
Pepperoni and produce portions so generous, except for cucumber...all produce SO fresh. The Marinara sauce container was cracked but I made them right away to avoid spoilage. The pitas are small so it really makes 2 lunches, not 3.
Easy lunch to make and quite filling. Not a fan of cucumber, so those went mostly uneaten. Would have liked to substitute another veggie. Also, not enough ranch dressing. I may have eaten more cucumber if I had more dressing.
This was a really great portion, produce was fresh, and pizza tastes good too!
Super easy, my 5 year old son really enjoyed making these! Will definitely order again!!
My kid loved this as an after football practice meal!! Easy and nutritious
