Easy Tortilla Pizza – Ultra-Crispy Oven Pizza in 10 Minutes

on

 If you’re craving pizza fast, this easy tortilla pizza is the ultimate shortcut. Using tortillas instead of dough creates an ultra-thin, crispy base that bakes in minutes—no kneading, no waiting. Perfect for quick meals, snack nights, or effortless entertaining, this oven-baked tortilla pizza delivers big flavour with minimal effort.

Tortilla pizza is a modern, home-cook favourite inspired by the idea that great pizza doesn’t need complicated dough. The double-layer tortilla base creates a sturdy yet crunchy crust, while garlic oil adds flavour before baking. This method keeps the pizza light, quick, and endlessly customisable. It’s ideal for portion control, uses pantry staples, and works beautifully with homemade or store-bought sauce. Leftovers reheat well in the oven or air fryer, keeping their crisp texture.
