Mediterranean Pizza.
Stone-oven roasted.
Feta, black olives, roasted peppers, eggplant, and olive oil over fresh mozzarella and house tomato sauce -- baked at 800 degrees on our stone oven floor.
What Makes Our Mediterranean
Pizza Different
Real Feta Cheese
Authentic crumbled feta layered over fresh mozzarella. The salt and tang of the feta cuts through the richness of the melted mozzarella, creating a two-cheese interplay you won't find at chain pizzerias.
Briny Black Olives
Whole black olives that hold their texture in the oven. Their savory, briny punch anchors every bite and pairs naturally with the feta and roasted vegetables.
Roasted Eggplant
Thick-cut eggplant roasted until tender and slightly smoky. In the 800-degree oven, the edges caramelize while the interior stays creamy -- a texture that transforms the entire pizza.
Fire-Roasted Peppers
Green bell pepper and red pepper roasted to bring out their natural sweetness. The stone oven intensifies their flavor and gives them charred edges that add depth.
Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
A finishing drizzle of quality olive oil that blooms in the oven's heat. It ties every ingredient together and adds a fruity, peppery richness you can taste in every bite.
Italian Meets Middle Eastern
Wood-fired Italian technique meets classic Mediterranean ingredients. Feta, olives, eggplant, and roasted peppers on hand-stretched dough -- a fusion that makes sense.

The Mediterranean
Pizza
Tomato, mozzarella, feta, black olives, green pepper, red pepper, eggplant and olive oil.. A loaded vegetarian pizza that brings together the bold, sun-drenched flavors of the Mediterranean on a hand-stretched, wood-fired crust. Crumbled feta melts into the mozzarella, briny black olives add savory depth, and fire-roasted peppers and eggplant deliver smoky sweetness in every bite.
The finishing drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil blooms in the 800-degree heat, tying Italian technique to Middle Eastern ingredients. The crust comes out with leopard-spotted char on the bottom and a soft, pillowy interior. This is not a token vegetarian option -- it is one of our most requested pizzas.
How We Make It
Six steps. Roasted vegetables, two cheeses, and one 800-degree stone oven.
Fresh Dough
Made from scratch every morning with premium flour and a slow fermentation process that builds complex flavor and an airy crumb.
House Tomato Sauce
San Marzano-style tomatoes blended with garlic, basil, and olive oil. Applied thin to let the Mediterranean toppings shine.
Fresh Mozzarella & Feta
Whole-milk mozzarella for stretch and melt, plus crumbled feta that adds a tangy, salty bite throughout.
Roasted Vegetables
Green pepper, red pepper, and eggplant -- roasted to concentrate their natural sweetness -- layered with briny black olives.
Olive Oil Finish
A drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil before the pizza enters the oven. The heat blooms the oil's fruity, peppery notes.
800-Degree Stone Oven
Ninety seconds on the stone floor. The crust chars, the feta softens, the vegetables caramelize, and the olive oil sizzles.
What People Say About
Our Mediterranean
"This is the pizza I never knew I needed. The feta and olives with that charred crust hit completely different from any other pizza I've tried in NoVA. My wife and I split one every week now."
-- David M.
"As someone who grew up eating Mediterranean food, this pizza genuinely surprised me. The eggplant is roasted perfectly, the feta crumbles into the mozzarella, and the olive oil ties it all together. Incredible."
-- Layla S.
"Ordered the Mediterranean on a friend's recommendation and I'm hooked. The roasted peppers have real depth of flavor and the black olives are briny and firm, not the canned kind. This is a serious pizza."
-- Tom R.
"I've been trying to find a good vegetarian pizza that doesn't feel like an afterthought. This is it. Every topping is thoughtfully placed, the crust is smoky and light, and the flavor profile is bold. Five stars."

Mediterranean Pizza FAQ
Our Mediterranean pizza is built on a base of house-made tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella, then topped with crumbled feta cheese, black olives, green bell pepper, roasted red pepper, wood-fired eggplant, and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Every ingredient is layered by hand before the pizza goes into the oven.
Yes. The Mediterranean pizza is fully vegetarian. It contains no meat of any kind. The combination of feta, mozzarella, roasted vegetables, and olive oil delivers rich, satisfying flavor without any animal protein. All ingredients are also 100% halal certified.
Yes. Every Mediterranean pizza at Forni is baked in our custom-built stone oven at 800 degrees. The intense heat roasts the peppers and eggplant further, melts the feta into the mozzarella, and chars the crust in about 90 seconds. That speed is what keeps the vegetables tender and flavorful instead of dried out.
Our Mediterranean pizza is a long wood-fired pie -- one generous size. It is not available in 12-inch, 14-inch, or 16-inch rounds. The elongated shape gives you more crust surface area for that stone-oven char.
The Mediterranean pizza is $12.99. That includes all toppings -- feta, black olives, green pepper, red pepper, eggplant, mozzarella, tomato sauce, and olive oil. No extra charges for the full topping load.
Forni offers convenient online ordering for pickup. We also partner with major delivery platforms to deliver to Falls Church, Arlington, Tysons, McLean, and surrounding areas in Northern Virginia. Order through our website or call us directly.
You can add extra toppings to any pizza on our menu. If you want the Mediterranean base with additional ingredients, just let us know. You can also use our Make Your Own Pizza option to build a completely custom pie with any combination of our fresh toppings.
Three things set ours apart. First, the 800-degree stone oven concentrates and intensifies the vegetable flavors in ways a standard oven cannot. Second, we use real feta cheese -- not a processed imitation -- that crumbles and melts into the mozzarella. Third, the eggplant and peppers are roasted to bring out their natural sweetness before they even hit the pizza. Most places throw raw vegetables on dough and call it Mediterranean.

Finding Great Mediterranean Pizza Near You in Northern Virginia
Mediterranean cuisine has become one of the fastest-growing food categories in the United States, and for good reason. The flavor profile -- tangy feta, briny olives, smoky roasted vegetables, and fruity olive oil -- resonates with people who want bold, satisfying food that also happens to be vegetarian-friendly. But finding a Mediterranean pizza that actually delivers on those flavors is harder than it should be.
Most pizzerias that offer a "Mediterranean" option treat it as an afterthought. They scatter some canned olives and raw bell pepper strips over standard dough with standard cheese and call it done. The result is a pizza that looks the part but tastes like any other vegetable pizza with a different name on the menu.
How Forni Approaches Mediterranean Pizza
At Forni Pizza & Sandwich in Falls Church, Virginia, the Mediterranean pizza is built with intention. Every component is chosen for how it interacts with the others and how it responds to the extreme heat of our 800-degree stone oven. The eggplant is cut thick so it holds its creamy interior while the edges caramelize. The peppers are roasted to bring out their natural sweetness before they go on the pizza. The feta is crumbled by hand, not pre-shredded, so it melts unevenly into the mozzarella -- creating pockets of tangy, salty richness throughout.
The olive oil is not decorative. It is applied before the pizza enters the oven so the heat blooms the oil's fruity, peppery notes across the entire surface. In 90 seconds at 800 degrees, every ingredient transforms. The olives warm and release their brine, the vegetables char at the edges, the two cheeses melt together, and the crust develops the signature leopard-spotted char on the bottom that only a stone oven at that temperature can produce.
Italian Technique, Middle Eastern Ingredients
The Mediterranean pizza at Forni represents something specific: the meeting point of Italian pizza-making craft and the ingredient traditions of the eastern Mediterranean. Feta cheese, eggplant, black olives, and olive oil are staples of Middle Eastern and North African cooking. Hand-stretched dough, stone-oven baking, and fresh mozzarella are the foundations of Italian pizza. When you bring those two traditions together with respect for both, the result is a pizza that feels familiar and surprising at the same time.
This fusion is not accidental. It reflects the identity of Forni itself -- a restaurant built by people who grew up with both culinary traditions and wanted to bring them together in a single kitchen. The Mediterranean pizza is the clearest expression of that mission on our menu.
A Vegetarian Pizza That Stands on Its Own
Too many restaurants treat vegetarian options as lesser versions of the "real" menu. At Forni, the Mediterranean pizza is not a pizza with things removed -- it is a pizza with things deliberately chosen. The topping combination delivers umami from the olives, tang from the feta, sweetness from the roasted peppers, creaminess from the eggplant, and richness from the olive oil. No protein is missing because nothing is missing. The flavor is complete.
That is why the Mediterranean is one of our most ordered pizzas across all categories, not just among vegetarian options. Meat-eaters order it because it tastes great, not because they are compromising. That is the standard a vegetarian pizza should meet.
