Preheat the broiler.

Saute the bacon in a nonstick skillet over high heat for 2 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.

Split the pitas by using a serrated knife to cut all the way around the perimeter of each pita bread. Arrange on a large baking sheet, cut-side up, and toast under a broiler for 1 to 2 minutes until just barely colored.

Divide tomato and onion between the pita rounds and sprinkle with the bacon.

In a small bowl, combine the cheese, basil, and pepper flakes. Sprinkle evenly over the rounds and broil for 1 to 2 minutes until cheese is melted and lightly browned around the edges.

Cut each pizza round into quarters and arrange on a napkin-lined platter.
