Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. This ensures that the pita pizzas will cook evenly and the cheese will melt perfectly.

- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano to taste.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a crispier finish, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the pita pizzas from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or a toaster oven for best results.
