Delicious! I didn't want the fact that I had no leftover beef in the house stop me from making this. So I got some Angus roast beef from the local deli. I also used a yellow pepper, as I don't care for the green. :)

Wow, wow, wow, were these ever good! I made these on whole wheat pitas, and added some mushrooms while frying the onion. I had no mozzarella, so used a sharp cheddar, but stayed with the spirit of the recipe and I don't think these changes made any difference in the outcome, so I feel safe in rating it 5 stars. The pitas came out crisp and light, they were a great pizza crust, and the toppings were just the right amount for 2 pitas. This is something I will make many, many times more, what a great way to use up left-over beef! Thanks Paula! :)

Hubby loved this pizza. We did an experimental lunch with several individual pizzas prepared on pita bread. This was one of our favorites. When I went to the cupboard, I didn't have any jarred roasted peppers on hand, so I quickly roasted a red bell over my gas burner. It worked out fine. This is almost like a Philly-style pizza. Thanks for posting.
