FAQs

Can I make this ahead?
Yes! Prep the sausage and veggie mix the night before. Store separately, then assemble and bake in the morning.

How do I reheat leftovers?
Best in the oven or toaster oven at 350°F for 5–7 minutes. Microwaving is fine but will soften the crust.

Can I freeze breakfast pita pizza?
Not ideal with fresh veggies and eggs, but you can freeze the cooked base with sausage and eggs. Add fresh toppings after reheating.
