Trader Joe's sells three varieties of pizza dough. I've only bought the wheat version and still, nothing wins convenience like pita bread for me. Plus, rolling out pizza dough is one of my least favorite things to do. Along with the Breakfast Pita Pizza, below are two other pita pizzas I've made in the past: Spinach Marinara and Tomato Pesto.
Anyways, the following recipe is another take on using a pita bread for pizza but feel free to use real pizza dough (just note that the recipe is for a single serving on one pita bread and that the oven cooking time will need to be adapted). This pizza is refreshing with clean, crisp flavors from the lemon. Try it for yourself!

1 cup arugula
1 tsp garlic, crushed

Arrange a layer of mozzarella cheese on pita bread and then layer on the prosciutto.
Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the topping and the crust looks browned and done.
Remove pizza from the oven and toss the arugula on top. Slice with pizza cutter or serve with fork and knife.
