Personal Pita Pizzas

We took a cue from the back of a bag of pita bread - "Make personal pizzas by separating the pita pocket into two halves, add your favorite toppings and cook until done!" Sounds like yet another opportunity to fire up the Egg to me!
I lit the Egg and set it up with the platesetter and pizza stone. While I was waiting for it to come up to 500 degrees, I made a pizza toppings bar:
From the top left, we had the following toppings: pepperoni, sliced bell pepper, smoked sweet Italian sausage slices (smoked on the BGE a few days before), caramelized purple onions, grated Mozzarella and Asagio cheese, chopped ham, feta cheese, sliced black olives, sauteed mushrooms, chopped fresh tomato, fresh mushrooms, and sauce. After the Egg had enough time to heat up and stabilize, I made a nice pile of pita halves and invited everyone to come in and start creating their pizzas.
They are fast to make and VERY tasty too! They are also a lot of fun, and very inexpensive. At 500-525 they only had to cook for about five minutes. Even with only five minutes of cooking they had that great brick oven taste. My son and I each ate three, the ladies ate two apiece. I think it would be a lot of fun for little kids. You can see some of the fun that my 15 year old son had in the photos.
Here are the pics of the pizzas made by me, my wife, my son and his girlfriend. Enjoy!

Bente,
That's the way I've been using it for everything. I suppose I could put some spacers and raise it up a bit to help it get hot faster. -
Great idea! How does the pita compare to real pizza crust.
-
What's that white sauce?

It was kind of like thin crust pizza. Crispy on the edges. -

The only white stuff we had was cheese. We had Feta and grated Mozzarella/Asagio. -
Thanks Jack!

Looks great! I'm going to try that real soon.

Looks awesome. Great idea if you are having several people over with different tastes.
-
I like the pizza bar set up. Will do that this weekend when all the kids and grandkids are in town. Thanks for the idea.

Sliced french bread works well also...I love the pizza toppings bar idea...

I'll have to try the Pita Pizza idea.
The pizza topping bar is a great idea.
Your pics are making me hungry!
