Lunchbox Mediterranean Pizzas

You don’t need to reinvent the wheel to make a quick and easy school lunch that disappears fast! After a Mediterranean dinner the other night, I repurposed the leftovers into these healthy lunchbox pizzas that bake up in just 7 minutes.

Similar to my Greek Pita Wrap, and 7 Layer Snack Cups, these Mediterranean pizzas are loaded with creamy hummus, olives, and tangy feta cheese! Plus, they fit perfectly into a lunchbox for a protein-rich, filling lunch.

What You Need

You can find exact amounts in the recipe card below, but here’s what you’ll need to build this pizza in no time:

Naan flatbread or pita bread: this makes such a quick and easy pizza base.
Hummus: helps the other ingredients stick to the base while adding flavor and protein.
Kalamata olives: skip them or use another type of olive if you aren’t a fan.
Roasted red pepper strips: roast your own and cut them into strips or use jarred peppers to save time.
Shredded mozzarella: also great for holding everything in place when it melts.
Crumbled feta: gives this pizza that unmistakable mediterranean flavor!
Sides: fresh fruits and veggies like strawberries and cucumber slices round out this lunch and boost nutrition.

How to Pack Personal-Size Pizzas for Lunch

These personal Mediterranean pizzas hold up well in a lunchbox, even at room-temperature. The hummus won't make the crust soggy (major win!), and the toppings hold up well without any reheating. Here’s how to make it:

Prep
Preheat your oven to 400°F and move the oven rack to the center so that everything bakes evenly and your toppings get melty without the bottom of the crust getting burnt. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (easy cleanup!) and place your naan on top.
Bake pizza
Spread about 3-4 tablespoons of hummus on the flatbread. Sprinkle on the chopped olives, a few red pepper strips, a little shredded mozzarella, and a crumble of feta and bake. It only needs about 7 minutes in the oven so keep an eye on the pizza. Since naan is already fully baked, you're really just warming everything up and getting that cheese nice and melty.
Pack it for school
Let the pizza cool completely, then slice it into quarters. Pack the slices in a hard container, and place it into a lunch bag along with any additional lunch sides.

Healthy School Lunch Packing Tips

Follow these tips to ensure your school lunch stays neat and appetizing until lunchtime rolls around:

Use the right container
The best way to keep your lunch fresh until lunchtime is to pack it into a hard, lunch container so nothing gets squished in a lunch bag or backpack.

Keep it safe to eat
Using an ice pack is a smart way to keep lunch items safe, especially those with dairy or eggs. It also helps keep any produce fresh and crisp longer.

Add healthy sides
Boost energy with wholesome extras like yogurt or a handful of crunchy banana chips. Toss in a protein muffin or a hard-boiled egg to keep kids full and focused even longer.

Keep wet and dry separate
Pizza, sandwiches, and wraps should be in their own compartment in a bento-style lunchbox or packed separately from wetter ingredients like fruits and veggies to keep them from getting soggy.
