Sharing one of our absolute favorite pizza’s to date! This Fresh Tomato, Arugula, and Feta Pizza is literally the pizza to make on repeat this summer. Homemade pizza dough topped with our delicious tomato sauce, a sprinkling of parmesan cheese and mozzarella, plenty of arugula, garden fresh tomatoes, and a little bit of crumbled feta. Trust us, this pizza is SO good. It has just enough cheese to be cheesy, but still have lots of flavor. The real secret? After baking, finish this pizza with a swirl of basil pesto for a delicious pop of flavor that really makes this gorgeous summer pizza stand out from the rest. Every bite of this pizza is truly SO delicious and always leave you wanting another slice.

About The Recipe

If there’s one thing my mom and I love most about traveling, it’s getting to branch out and try new food! That’s exactly where the inspiration for this pizza came from. Back in April, we were traveling to Florida, and since we live so far away, we stop halfway through to get a nights rest.

One of our favorite go-to traveling restaurants? Mellow Mushroom! I mean, pizza after a long drive? Always a good idea.

This pizza is inspired by one we tried back in April! It was so freaking good, but after we came home, we sort of forgot what was in it! So, this is kind of our take on their Kosmic Karma pizza. We used what we had in our garden and it came out SO well that we just had to share with all you!

It’s bright, full of flavor, very light, and a serious crowd pleaser! I mean, I don’t even like tomatoes, but I ADORE this pizza. I could eat the whole thing by myself.

We’ve definitely added it to our weekly rotation of pizza’s to make.

The best part? This pizza is SUPER quick to make and, when you think about it, is actually pretty healthy for you!
