Here is why this gyro pizza recipe is amazing:
- All your favorite gyro flavors served on a flatbread, making this a personal pizza.

- Gyro Meat - leftover is fine. Slice it thin.
- Pita bread - I buy it in my grocery store. or I will use leftover naan bread. Not traditional but I still like it.

- Onion - red, thinly sliced
- Cucumber - seeded and chopped small
- Tomato - seeded and chopped

- Ttaziki Sauce - homemade is my favorite!
