Step 1
Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add onion, cook until edges soften, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add ground lamb, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in tomato paste, pomegranate molasses, allspice, salt, and pepper. Cook 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Spread each pita on the sheet pan. Spoon lamb mixture onto each round, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
Step 6
Bake until pita edges are golden and crispy, 6-8 minutes. Serve hot.
