Cheesecake Factory Margherita Flatbread Pizza Recipe Tips

• Use fresh ingredients – Fresh mozzarella, basil, and ripe tomatoes make the flavor more authentic.
• Pre-bake the flatbread – Crisping the flatbread before adding toppings prevents a soggy crust.
• Pat tomatoes dry – Removing excess moisture from tomato slices keeps the pizza from getting watery.
• Don’t overload toppings – Keep it light so the flatbread stays crisp and bakes evenly.
• Finish with olive oil – A light drizzle after baking enhances the flavor and gives a restaurant-style finish.

Storing, Freezing, And Reheating Instructions

• Storing: Keep leftover flatbread pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store slices in a single layer with parchment paper in between to prevent sticking.
• Freezing: Freeze baked flatbread slices on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months. Wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap before freezing to preserve freshness.
• Reheating: Reheat in a preheated oven at 375°F for 8–10 minutes until warmed through and crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the flatbread soggy.

Cheesecake Factory Margherita Flatbread Pizza Recipe Faqs

Can I use store-bought flatbread for this recipe? Yes! Store-bought flatbread works perfectly and makes the recipe quicker, but you can also make homemade flatbread if you prefer.

What type of mozzarella is best? Fresh mozzarella slices give the most authentic flavor and texture, but shredded mozzarella will also work if that’s what you have on hand.

Can I add other toppings? Absolutely! While classic Margherita keeps it simple with mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil, you can add roasted garlic, spinach, or even a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

How do I keep the crust from getting soggy? Pre-bake the flatbread for a few minutes before adding toppings. This helps it stay crisp once the cheese and tomatoes are added.

Is this recipe vegetarian? Yes, it’s naturally vegetarian. Just be sure your flatbread and cheese are vegetarian-friendly.
