Sweet Heat Fig & Prosciutto Pita Pizzas
with Arugula Salad & Pecans
- Tree Nuts
- Sesame
- Wheat
- Milk
Is it a pizza? Is it a salad? Yes, and yes! And it’s all wrapped up in one delicious, nutritious 10-minute package. You’ll top a fluffy whole wheat pita with a blend of Italian cheeses, give it a quick zap in the microwave (hello, melty goodness) then toss together a peppery arugula salad with crunchy pecans and salty prosciutto in a lemon-fig-olive oil vinaigrette. Finish your pita pizza with a big pile of salad and, if you’re a heat seeker, a sprinkle (or two) of chili flakes. It’s a sweet two-for-one lunch idea that’s hard to pass up!

Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce.
• Halve lemon. Tear or slice prosciutto into bite-size pieces.
• Place pitas on a microwave-safe plate. Reserve 1 TBSP Italian cheese blend for serving; top pitas with remaining cheese. Microwave until cheese just melts and pitas are soft, 40-50 seconds. (You may need to microwave in batches.)
• In a large bowl, whisk together jam, juice from half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 servings), a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper, and as many chili flakes as you like. Add arugula, pecans, and half the prosciutto; toss until thoroughly coated.
• Cut cheesy pitas into quarters and sprinkle with remaining prosciutto. Top with salad and reserved Italian cheese blend.
• Divide pita pizzas between plates and serve.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the sweet-and-salty blend with prosciutto and fig jam, though some found it too sweet or salty.
- Ease of prep: Super quick and easy to make, perfect for a light lunch or snack 🍲.
- Suggestions: Consider toasting the pita instead of microwaving for better texture; try crisping the prosciutto for added crunch.
- Portions: Some found it a bit small or not filling enough for a full meal.
- Texture: The pita can be tough; toasting longer or using flatbread might improve the base.
Reviews from our home cooks
This was the best one I've had. Pitas were soft and warm with melted cheese and the fig jam, prosciutto, arugula, pecans just mixed so well.
Yummy! Prosciutto and fig jam belong together forever! The pecans added a nice crunch and more flavor. I kept the salad on the side but it was tasty too.
I really liked this, but I did melt half the cheese, add the prosciutto and rest of the cheese, heated that a little, then the arugula with sauce. Also there was no need for the 2nd bag of arugula or chili peppers, i used half of 1. My kids didn't much care for this though.
A delicious light meal. I changed one thing - instead of mixing the arugula into the jam mixture, I drizzled the jam mixture over the pita and cheese, then put the arugula on top. Less messy that way. There was way too much arugula for the size of the pitas.
So easy and yummy. I have dietary restrictions on raw meat so I put the prosciutto in the broiler with the pitas and cheese. Came out magnificent!
I don't eat a lot of meat (especially pork). My husband got all of the prosciutto on his pita pizza. I loved mine even without the meat. Really good flavors. I LOVE arugula!!! The fig jam was sooo good!!
Liked the inclusion of prosciutto and arugula. The fig jam was good but maybe a little bit too sweet
I was skeptical of this one, but I really liked it! The prosciutto was super tasty and I enjoyed both the texture and taste of each bite of pita.
It was too salty for my taste from the prosciutto and there was too much arugula - and I normally love them both. Flavors could be more balanced by using less of the two, and adding more nuts and some dried fruit, and maybe some feta.
This recipe was quick and easy. It tastes delicious! The salad is a lot on top of the pita and is difficult to eat as a pizza.
