Brush each pita bread with olive oil and lightly sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Place the pita rounds on the prepared baking sheets and bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to slightly crisp them up.

Sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano across the top of each pita, and add any additional salt or black pepper to taste.

Return the prepared pitas to the oven and bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the edges of the pitas are crispy.
Step 9
Remove the pita pizzas from the oven and let them rest for 1-2 minutes.
