Chopped Salad Pizza combines two favorites in one delicious bite. A crispy baked pizza crust is topped with creamy dressing, melty cheese, and a refreshing Italian-style chopped salad. It’s light, crunchy, and packed with flavor — perfect for lunch, dinner, or a party appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale

For the pizza base:

  • 1 ball pizza dough (about 1214 oz)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

For the chopped salad:

  • 1 1/2 cups chopped romaine lettuce

  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered

  • 1/4 cup cucumber, diced

  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced

  • 1/4 cup chopped pepperoncini

  • 1/4 cup salami or turkey, chopped (optional)

  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta or shredded mozzarella

  • 2 tablespoons Italian dressing (or more to taste)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone or baking sheet, place it in the oven to heat.

  2. Roll out pizza dough into a 10–12 inch round. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with mozzarella, Parmesan, and garlic powder if using.

  3. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove and let cool slightly.

  4. While crust bakes, toss all chopped salad ingredients in a large bowl with Italian dressing. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

  5. Once the crust has cooled for about 5 minutes, top it with the chopped salad. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a drizzle of balsamic glaze over the salad.

  • Want it vegetarian? Skip the meat or use chickpeas.

  • Try using naan or flatbread for a quick shortcut crust.

  • Best served fresh to keep the crust crispy.
