If you’ve always wondered what it might be like to turn a Greek mezze platter into a pizza, this recipe answers that question. And spoiler alert: It’s delicious. The mezze, or Mediterranean platter, can be both vegetarian or meat-based, and usually has popular tapas-style items like falafel, hummus, feta cheese, olives, pita and other dips for sharing—though it varies by region. Here, we turned to Ooni’s own gourmand, former food photographer and Social Media Consultant, Bella, for a Greek mezze pie like no other.
For the pizza, we opted for a fluffy crust using our Classic Pizza Dough instead of pita bread, and topped it with a combination of labneh—a creamy, spreadable cheese common in Middle Eastern cuisine—and feta cheese. This base pairs exceptionally well with savory sliced keftedes (Greek meatballs). Add to that bright cherry tomatoes, briny Kalamata olives, fresh herbs and the subtle crunch of onion and this pizza brings all the best flavors of a mezze platter into one delectable bite.

Note
Labneh (sometimes labeled as kefir in the UK) can usually be found in the supermarket aisle where yogurt, sour cream or cream cheese is kept. If you aren’t able to find it, crème fraîche can be substituted. Kalamata is a salty, briny black olive of Greek origin. They may be substituted with any olive you prefer. Any feta will do here, but Bella prefers Bavarian sheep's milk feta for its creaminess. For the dough, we recommend our Classic Pizza Dough, just be sure to set aside 3 to 4 hours for proofing.
