Do I have to use feta cheese?

Absolutely not. Feta doesn't melt, but it does add extraordinary flavor. That being said, you could grate some Mozzarella and use it instead of feta, if you prefer. Traditional Greek pizzas use a mixture of Mozzarella and white Cheddar. That could be delicious, too.

I don't have hummus. Can I use something else for the sauce?

Baba Ganoush (roasted egg plant dip) would be a great alternative to the hummus. You could also just brush the pita bread with a quality olive oil and give it a light sprinkle of Greek seasoning and kosher salt. Then add the other toppings and bake.

What are additional Greek inspired toppings that could go on a Greek pizza?

Try artichokes, roasted red peppers or olives.

What other options do I have for pizza crust?

You can use tortillas, lavosh or any flatbread you prefer. These tasty pizzas can also be made with easy pizza dough you whip up from scratch. This recipe from my friend Sherry is excellent!

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer or a standard oven to 425°.
Spread roasted red pepper hummus on the pita flatbread, stopping about 3/4″ to 1″ before the edge, leaving a nice rim for the “crust”.
Top the hummus with slices of homemade gyro meat and halved cherry (salad or grape work, too) tomatoes.
Add a few slivers of red onion and then sprinkle the mini pizza with feta cheese.
Place the pizza in the air fryer basket/rack and cook for 4 minutes in the preheated air fryer. (For standard oven, place the pizza directly onto the preheated oven rack and bake for 5 – 7 minutes until your desired crispness is reached.)
Drizzle with tzatziki and sprinkle with minced parsley.
Slice and serve.
