Pizza with Spinach and Feta Ingredients
Here's what we use to make this delicious pizza with spinach and feta on flatbread:
- Store-bought Flatbread: We usually grab rectangular naan or thin Italian flatbreads from the bakery section.
- Feta Cheese: Crumbled feta adds that salty tangy bite we love.
- Mozzarella Cheese: Melts well and gives structure under the toppings.
- Fresh Baby Spinach: We love the spinach and feta combo!
- Minced Garlic: Gives a savory base layer of flavor.
- Olive Oil: Used for brushing the crust and drizzling on top.
- Red Pepper Flakes (optional): A small pinch adds a little heat.
A full ingredient list with exact measurements can be found in the recipe card below.
Substitutions & Variations
- Mozzarella: Try shredded fontina or provolone for a different finish.
- Flatbread: Use pita rounds or naan for a softer base, or a cauliflower crust for gluten-free. We used naan with this Mediterranean Pizza.
- Spinach: Swap for arugula (add after baking) or use sautéed kale for a hearty option.
- Flavor: Add sautéed mushrooms for a deeper taste.
How To Make this Easy Spinach and Feta Flatbread
STEP ONE: Sauté the Onions and Spinach
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden. Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Add spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, if using.
Remove and let the spinach cool slightly. Gently press out excess moisture before adding it to the flatbread.
STEP TWO: Build the Pizza
Preheat the oven to 500°F. Place the flatbread crusts on a baking sheet and brush with remaining olive oil.
Evenly divide the spinach mixture over each crust. Sprinkle with mozzarella, feta, and Parmesan.
STEP THREE: Bake and Finish
Bake for 3-5 minutes on the center rack of a 500°F preheated oven until the cheese melts and the edges are crisp.
STEP FOUR: Serve
Sprinkle with dried oregano as a finishing touch. Slice and serve warm.

Storage
Store leftover pizza with spinach and feta cheese in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven, air fryer, or 375°F oven for 5-7 minutes. These don't freeze well, but they're great for meal prep if made fresh the day before.
Recipe FAQs
Yes, feta cheese adds a tangy, salty bite that pairs perfectly with spinach and garlic-based pizzas. It doesn't melt like mozzarella, but it gives great texture and flavor.
Feta is a classic pairing for spinach pizza because its salty, tangy flavor balances the mild spinach. You can also combine it with mozzarella for meltiness or add Parmesan for a sharper bite.
Yes, you can use frozen spinach on pizza, but it's important to thaw it completely and squeeze out as much water as possible. Excess moisture from frozen spinach can make the crust soggy, so pat it dry with paper towels before adding it to your pizza.
