Can I make these pita pizzas ahead?

If you assemble them ahead you are not going to get a good crisp on the pita. These are best served fresh and hot from the oven and since they only take 20 minutes to make, we don't recommend making them ahead.

How do I store these pita pizzas?

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Can I use a different kind of cheese?

You can substitute cheddar, Monterey-jack, fontina or any other cheese that melts well for the shredded mozzarella. Instead of the feta, add small diced pieces of fresh mozzarella or fresh smoked mozzarella. If you want to make these vegan, skip the feta and mozzarella and use your favorite grated vegan cheese.
