Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the broiler.

In a small bowl, stir together the tomato sauce, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, and sugar.
Step 3
To assemble, place 2 pita halves in the center of a large baking sheet. Place the remaining 2 pita halves on another baking sheet. Spread 2 tablespoons sauce on each pita half. Sprinkle with the mozzarella, top with the bell pepper and mushrooms, and sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon oregano.
Step 4
Broil half the pizzas 3 to 4 inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the mozzarella melts and the edges begin to brown. Transfer to plates. Repeat with the remaining pizzas.
