Note
Storage: Store leftover spanakopizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet to maintain crust crispiness.
Substitutions: You can substitute fresh mint with additional dried mint or oregano if fresh herbs are unavailable. For the crust, you can use homemade dough or a pre-made store-bought crust for convenience.
Variations: Add other vegetables like sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, or olives for extra Mediterranean flavor. For a vegan version, use a plant-based cheese alternative.
Tip: If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out all excess moisture before adding to the skillet to prevent a soggy pizza.
