This BLT Phyllo Pizza combines the classic BLT sandwich with irresistible cheesy pizza! It’s seasonally fresh and delicious!
It’s almost the weekend, so let’s celebrate with some pizza, shall we?!
The other day, I was going through the BHK recipe index to make sure I’ve been spreading the love to each and every category and shame on me! I have not as of yet shared a pizza! What the heck?! Y’all must be thinking I don’t like pizza…which is so totally NOT the case! I’m a huge fan!
So today, your’re in for a treat! I’m sharing my all-time favorite BLT Phyllo Pizza. Summer would not be summer without a fresh and delicious BLT, so when I was pondering over what kind of pizza I should share, I figured I would kill two birds with one stone (not really because I’d actually never kill a bird, but you get the drift right?) and combine the sandwich with the pizza and BINGO…BLT Phyllo Pizza!
During the summer I like my pizza light and fresh, so this one is just the ticket. It’s got a light, crispy phyllo dough crust, juicy, plump Jersey tomatoes, some crispy bacon, oregano and four kinds of cheese. Yes friends, you heard right, four! Each layer of the phyllo is brushed with some butter and then sprinkled with parmesan. Then the top sheet is coated with a thin layer of Alouette Garlic and Herbs Cheese and finally sprinkled with a combo of shredded mozzarella and provolone. It’s summer pizza perfection if I say so myself!
And since I’m feeling a little guilty about not sharing a pizza with you guys before today, today at the BHK it’s buy one get one free, so to speak! I’m not only sharing my BLT Phyllo Pizza recipe, but I’m also sharing a fabulous Cheats Deep Dish Pizza recipe from my sweet and talented blogging friend, Alida from Simply Delicious. I came across Alida’s blog a while ago and was totally wowed! If you haven’t visited her blog, you NEED to pop on over and see all she’s got cooking up!
Hope you all enjoy your weekend and see you back at the BHK on Saturday morning bright and early, when I’ll be sharing a savory, simple recipe for Simple Saturday.

I absolutely love a quick and easy pizza dish. The BLT toppings are a clever idea! Looking forward to Simple Saturday!
Me too, especially during the summer! See back at the BHK on Saturday! Thanks Karen!
Omg, Mary Ann, there was a place in Tallahassee (I lived there many moons ago) and they had a blt pizza I was OBSESSED with!! I was a pescatarian back then, so I had mine with fake bacon, but still, the pizza was bomb! So I am SO looooooving this one! The phyllo crust is an amazing idea(!!), especially since I’m a thin crust kinda girl! Plus FOUR cheeses? Get outta here! No dont. Instead come here and bring me five of these delicious beauties. ;) pinned!! Cheers friend! Can’t wait to try this!!
I’m a thin crust kind of girl too Cheyanne, so this fits the bill. So glad you like it! Have a great weekend and hope you enjoy this if you give it a go!
I love using phyllo pastry for savoury recipes like this. Plus, it’s phyllo pastry and, you know, butter so you know it’s totally going to be freaking awesome. Not to mention, phyllo is just so darn convenient. Way to go with BLT meets pizza. Double the deliciousness :) Looking forward to trying soon, Mary Ann!
Yes Dawn! You can’t beat how easy it makes it to throw everything together and come out looking and tasting great! This one’s a fave for sure.
Love the look of your pizza Mary Ann! So chuffed that I could do this collaboration with you!
Thanks Alida! Me too! Your cheats deep dish looks fabulous too! I can’t wait to try it!
Be still my heart about the perfection that is this pizza!! For someone who hasn’t posted a pizza recipe before, you definitely hit this one out of the park…bacon, tomatoes and phyllo, oh MY
Aw, thanks so much Kate! Can’t beat those Jersey tomatoes right!?
Holy flatbread Mary Ann, we have been waiting! Looks great!
Ha! Thanks! You’re a sweetie!
This is so up my alley and what a great use for Jersey tomatoes. LOVE the buttery parm in between the layers!
I know Cathy! Jersey tomatoes are the best! Enjoy your weekend!
Why have we not been doing this forever?? This is the best pizza combination — my son will love this!! Thank you for the inspiration Mary Ann — I love it. xoxo
Anytime time Rebecca! I hope you all enjoy it!
OMG! I don’t think I’ve ever had a BLT pizza and never on phyllo! What is wrong with me? I need to get on this ASAP!
Get going and give this one a try Rachelle!! I know you’re going to LOVE it! Happy weekend!
This is a very creative recipe Mary Ann, I would love to have a piece of this delicious looking pizza right now.
Thanks so much Gerlinde! It’s one of my favorite light summer pizzas. Have a great weekend!
This is a fun, clever idea, Mary Ann. I’ve never thought to make pizza with phyllo. I love the way you layer it with the Alouette Garlic and Herbs Cheese – that’s a great base. Looking forward to trying this! Hope you have a nice weekend!
It really is so tasty Geraldine. Even though there are 4 different kinds of cheeses, there’s not a lot of each, so it’s not too heavy at all. Nice and light! You have a fabulous weekend too!
Love the pizza Mary Ann – so perfect for summer! And thanks for introducing me to Simply Delicious! Such a cool blog :)
I know, isn’t Alida’s blog just fabulous?! I love it! Hope you enjoy the pizza if you give it a try MB!
Oh, what a lovely compliment! Thank you!!
This is my kind of pizza! Love the blt flavours and the crispy phyllo crust is such a nice base!
Thanks Jennifer! Give it a go!
This sounds really good and a perfect summer pizza!
Thanks so much! It’s really delicious! I appreciate the comment. Have a great weekend!
Mmm this pizza looks and sounds delicious! I love having a BLT for lunch so I’m definitely going to give this a go. Thanks for sharing!
Great Lucy! Thanks so much for leaving a comment! Hope you enjoy!
I love the idea of sharing content, Mary Ann.. and I do it through social channels daily, but due to new algorithms I’m not sure how effective it is. So sharing on our individual blogs is important! I’ve done this several times, but have never traded.. I love that idea! We may not be able to control social, but we can easily share on our our blogs!
What a fabulous pizza, and oh so easy! Phyllo dough is so crisp and light.. I can see how this would become a Summertime favorite! Have a beautiful weekend Mary Ann! xo
Alida is so sweet and I just love her blog, so I was so excited when she asked me to collaborate with her! You must check out her blog! I can’t get though summer without BLTs!! Anytime, anywhere, anyway! Hope you have a wonderful weekend too!
Hi Traci! If you are interested in collaborating, please let me know. The more the merrier!
Mmmm I just love alouette cheese and the idea of putting it on pizza is super unique! Love it :) Also I’m kind of obsessed with Alida’s blog.. have been following her for a while.
Then definitely give this pizza a try Sarah! It’s so delicious! Yes, Alida’s blog is fabulous!
Oh, thanks so much Sarah!
