What pizza toppings go with tuna?

A variety of pizza toppings go with tuna. My favourites include pungent red onion, olives or capers for a briny finish, and mild, creamy mozzarella cheese. You can also make a tuna pizza with cilantro pesto, corn, red onion, and Monterey Jack cheese for a southwestern version.

Is tuna good on pizza?

While it is an unconventional pizza topping in North America, tuna is a delicious, high-protein option. It is a common pizza topping in Italy.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and spread each pita with 1/4 cup of sauce.
Add 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella to each pita, depending on the size of your pitas and desired amount of cheese. (If your pitas are smaller, use less, and if they’re 8 inches or larger, use 1/2 cup.)
Evenly divide the tuna between the pitas and add the olives and red onion.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the pitas are somewhat crispy.
Optional: Broil for 1 minute to brown the cheese.
Garnish with chili paste or hot red pepper flakes, if desired, and enjoy.

Notes

Storage: To make ahead and store, bake the pizzas, then allow them to cool completely. Place them in an airtight container, putting a piece of parchment paper or wax paper in between them if stacking. Store for 3-4 days. Reheat at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes.
