Crispy Mediterranean Tuna Pizza

Crispy Mediterranean Tuna Pizza

Crispy Mediterranean Tuna Pizza

A simple, flavorful recipe with a Mediterranean soul- Crispy Mediterranean Tuna Pizza.

There’s something quietly magical about a recipe that doesn’t ask for much, yet delivers so much in return. This Crispy Mediterranean Tuna Pizza is one of those meals—a timeless classic with a gentle twist. Quick to make, comforting, and endlessly customizable, it’s a dish you’ll find yourself returning to, season after season.

Tuna pizza may sound unconventional to some, but in parts of Southern Europe—particularly along the Italian and Mediterranean coasts—this style of pizza is a local favorite. Known as pizza al tonno, it’s often found in seaside towns, served hot with a crisp base, tangy tomato sauce, and savory tuna flaked over bubbling cheese.

Crispy Mediterranean Tuna Pizza

Whether you’re using homemade dough, store-bought crust, or even a tortilla for a crisp flatbread feel, this recipe is beautifully flexible. The star ingredient? High-quality canned or jarred tuna, packed in olive oil or water—whatever you have on hand works well.

Tips for the Best Crispy Mediterranean Tuna Pizza-

  • Drain the tuna well to avoid sogginess and get the perfect texture.
  • Start with tomato sauce and mozzarella, then layer tuna and toppings before baking.
  • Add briny elements like capers or olives for depth and boldness.
  • Finish with fresh herbs such as oregano or basil after baking for a fresh burst.
  • A drizzle of chili crisp adds heat and a punch of umami—it’s phenomenal.

Some days, I scatter sliced red onions for sharpness. Other times, I crumble in feta or goat cheese, or add roasted peppers and artichoke hearts. The beauty of this recipe lies in its versatility—it bends and shifts with your cravings and pantry staples.

How to make this yummy party food

My husband, who once disliked tuna, now requests this pizza regularly. The first time I made it, he was hooked. These days, it barely lasts on the table.

What sets my version apart is how the tuna is seasoned before it ever hits the crust. Instead of scattering plain tuna from the can, I mix it with a few pantry staples—a touch of mayo, a little mustard, chopped pickles, fresh dill, and even a splash of lemon juice.

This simple step adds creaminess, tang, and a herby freshness that balances beautifully with the cheese and tomato base.

It’s not traditional, but it’s wildly flavorful. And that’s the fun of home cooking—making something familiar feel brand new.

Crispy Mediterranean Tuna Pizza

Served with a fresh green salad or enjoyed all on its own, tuna pizza is a humble reminder that good food doesn’t need to be complicated to be unforgettable.

Easy Tuna Pizza

Crispy Mediterranean Tuna Pizza

This tasty and easy tuna pizza is amazing all year round. You may make your own dough, use store-bought or perhaps tortilla. Whatever you choose it is absolutely amazing.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 13 minutes
Additional Dough Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 28 minutes

Ingredients

🍕 For the Dough, Thin Crust, Sheet Pan Size:

  • 300g (about 2¼ cups) “00” flour or all-purpose flour
  • 180ml (¾ cup) lukewarm water
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp olive oil

🍅 For the Base:

  • 100g (about ⅓ cup) tomato pizza sauce or crushed San Marzano tomatoes
  • 150g (1 ½ cups) shredded mozzarella cheese (or fresh mozzarella torn into pieces)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for drizzling)

🐟 For the Seasoned Tuna Topping:

  • 1 can (140g) tuna in olive oil or water, drained
  • 1 tsp mayonnaise
  • ½ tsp Dijon or yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp chopped pickles
  • 1 tsp capers
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh dill or parsley
  • ½ tsp lemon juice
  • Black pepper, to taste

🧅 Optional Toppings (Highly Recommended):

  • ¼ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 5 to 6 Italian olives, sliced
  • ½ roasted red bell pepper, sliced (or use fresh if preferred)
  • ½ tsp chili crisp or chili flakes (optional for heat)
  • Fresh basil or oregano, for garnish

Instructions

🧄 Step 1: Make the Dough, if using homemade

  1. In a small bowl, mix 180ml lukewarm water with ½ tsp active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 300g flour and 1 tsp sea salt. Pour in the yeast mixture.
  3. Stir until a rough dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place in well oiled bowl, add a drizzle more, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size; Or refrigerate for up to 24 hours for deeper flavor—just bring it back to room temp before using.

🐟 Step 2: Prepare the Seasoned Tuna Topping

  1. In a bowl, mix together:

    - 1 can tuna , drained
    - 1 tsp mayonnaise
    - ½ tsp mustard
    - 1 tsp chopped pickles and capers
    - 1 tsp chopped dill
    - ½ tsp lemon juice
    - A pinch of black pepper
  2. Stir until evenly combined. Set aside. You can make this ahead and keep it in fridge. Make sure it is in the container with a lid because it will make your fridge stinky. I mean it is Tuna!

🍕 Step 3: Preheat & Prep the Crust

  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
  2. In 13 x 18 inches sheet pan or a bit smaller, roll out your dough into a thin rectangle to fit the pan. You can oil your hands to stretch it easier. Transfer to the prepped pan carefully. You can make this in any pan. Pizza pan works just as good. I just prefer sheet pan for this pizza.


🍅 Step 4: Assemble the Pizza

  1. Spread 120g tomato sauce, pizza sauce or marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a slight border around the edges.
  2. Sprinkle evenly with about 180g shredded mozzarella, or mix of cheeses. Also, you can use as much cheese as you want.
  3. Spoon the seasoned tuna mixture over the cheese in dollops or spread gently.
    Add optional toppings like red onion slices, olives, etc.
  4. Drizzle lightly with olive oil.


🔥 Step 5: Bake the Pizza

  1. Bake for about 12 to 13 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp, and the cheese is bubbling.
  2. If desired, broil for 1 minute at the end for a bit of char—just keep a close eye!

🌿 Step 6: Finish and Serve

  1. Garnish with fresh oregano or basil.
  2. Optional: Add a drizzle of chili crisp or a few chili flakes for heat.
  3. Slice and serve warm with a side of simple greens or a fresh tomato cucumber salad.

Notes

  • Drain the tuna well to avoid sogginess and get the perfect texture.
  • Start with a good sauce and mozzarella, then layer tuna and toppings before baking.
  • Add briny elements like capers or olives for depth and boldness.
  • Finish with fresh herbs such as oregano or basil after baking for a fresh burst.
  • A drizzle of chili crisp adds heat and a punch of umami—it’s phenomenal.

Supreme Bread Pizza

Most of the time I make this gourmet pizza with two types of bread, Italian and French.

My boys love this Supreme Bread Pizza with Publix bakery style French bread. However, my lovely daughter and I prefer Italian bread.

Also found at Publix bakery right next to the deli. With that being said, I thought to name it Supreme Bread Pizzas, which is rather appropriate.

You can literally use any bread that you have or prefer. I guess that is the beauty of this meal, as well as the point of my blog “Easy Cooking.”

I loved using both Bertolli Olive Oil Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and Bertolli Olive Oil Extra Virgin Light Tasting Olive Oil.

Supreme Bread Pizza

For this particular recipe, I chose Bertolli Olive Oil Extra Virgin Olive Oil because it has that amazing flavor that I was promptly going for.

The taste is absolutely delightful! This isn’t surprising, as Bertolli is the world’s #1 olive oil brand and they have over 150 years of experience.

Supreme Bread Pizza

Recipe

Tasty Bread pizza recipe.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 22 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 Bread Loaf Italian or French
  • 2 tablespoons Bertolli Olive Oil Extra Virgin Olive Oil plus one more drizzle
  • 2 cups Shredded Italian Pizza Blend Cheese
  • 1 Cup Tomato Sauce Olive Oil + Garlic
  • 1 cup Mini Pepperoni
  • 14 Hard Salami Slices
  • 1/2 cup Black Olive sliced.
  • 1/2 cup Green Pepper diced.
  • Herbs: Oregano Italian Herb Blend
  • Other Ingredients: Prosciutto Olives, Sauce for dipping, etc.

Instructions

  1. Preheat standard oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Slice the bread in half, lengthwise, then drizzle about one tablespoon on each side. Gently press the bread a bit in the middle, just enough to stretch it and make room for the toppings.
  3. Add on about 1/4 cup of cheese on the bottom of each bread slice, then drizzle tomato sauce. If you want to use more sauce, you can. Add more cheese and the rest of the toppings. I add a bit of cheese first because it is like a barrier, so the bread doesn't get to soak with the sauce.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the crust is somewhat crunchy, and the cheese is completely melted.
  5. Allow it to cool down for a couple of minutes before slicing. Drizzle just a bit of olive oil before serving.

Notes

You can add a different blend of cheese, sauce, as well as any toppings that you prefer. In the case of the bread: Italian, French, Cuban, flatbread, or slices of homemade bread would work just fine. Before baking, you can wrap it up and freeze for up to 3 months. Bake at 400 F for 20 minutes or until the pizza is completely thawed and cheese melted.
