For topping: heat remaining 1 and one-half teaspoons olive in large nonstick skillet. Add carrot, onion and green pepper. Saute 2 minutes over medium heat. Add zucchini and mushrooms and continue to saute for 5 more minutes.
Flatten pita breads and spread each with two or more tablespoons of the tomato sauce. Distribute sauteed vegetables evenly over the sauce and top with mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle Parmesan evenly over each pita and return to hot oven for 5 minutes, or until cheese melts.
