Forget traditional pizza dough, or any kind, for that matter. For your next Friday night, opt for whole wheat pita bread as the base for your pie instead. Make sure to choose a pocketless type that's more dense. It can work as a great canvas for your pie. Since the tomatoes will need eight minutes to cook, make sure to add them to the pita first before adding the cheese. This will allow the veggies to soften without burning the mozzarella. Adding the cheese after to melt it to the perfect consistency, for about three minutes, allows you to enjoy your small pita pizzas thoroughly.

In a small bowl, mix the tomatoes and salt; stir in the basil, oil and garlic. Top the pitas with tomato mixture, drizzling any liquid in the bowl over the toppings. Bake until the tomatoes are hot and softened, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle with the cheese; bake until the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes longer. Cut the pitas in half before serving.
