I don’t know about you, but I have been cooking A LOT lately. More time at home for the whole family means a whole lot more meals prepared at home. From breakfast to lunch to dinner, I feel like I spend half my day in the kitchen during these weird times. Which means, I’m always on the hunt for easy meals that I can make quickly (and that I know the whole family will love!)

Pizza has always been a big hit in our house. My husband would probably say that his favorite food in the entire world is pizza, and my girls, well, they’re kids; so yeah, pizza is an automatic favorite. And though I like making our own pizza dough (recipe coming soon!), some nights I really need EASY.
And lo and behold, have I ever got a simple and amazing pizza idea for you! This creative pizza recipe is destined to be a new household favorite; it’s 10-minute naan bread pizza.
Believe it or not, you may actually find yourself loving naan bread pizza even more than the classic. It’s that good!

Naan bread pizza is extra amazing because it bakes up with a golden crispy crust, is topped with classic tomato sauce and plenty of warm, bubbly cheese. The combination is so yummy! (Seriously, I might actually like crispy, chewy naan bread pizza crust MORE than classic pizza crust!)
The real beauty of naan bread pizza is just how EASY it is to make. Throw your toppings on the naan bread, place your pizzas on a pizza stone, pizza pan, or baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for just 8 minutes; and dinner is served!
A Few Tips for Making Naan Bread Pizza:
Grocery stores all carry their version of naan bread. We love Trader Joe’s naan bread and Whole Foods naan bread, but most grocery stores carry their own version and all are yummy, inexpensive, and serve as the perfect naan bread pizza base. You can also swap regular naan bread for whole wheat naan bread to make the recipe a little healthier.
You can top your pizza with either homemade tomato sauce or store-bought jarred pizza sauce or marinara sauce. Though I’ve always made our own tomato sauce, I’ve recently discovered Rao’s sauces and it’s kind of been a revelation. Granted, Rao’s is pricier than typical store-bought jarred pasta sauce, they have really nailed the classic Italian tastes in their jarred sauces. I’m kind of blown away. All that to say, any one of your favorite tomato, pizza, or marinara sauce will work!
Next, you’ll sprinkle shredded or sliced mozzarella cheese over the layer of tomato sauce. You can also add a little parmesan cheese or use an Italian cheese blend.
Additional Naan Bread Pizza Toppings
- Roasted Vegetables
- Thinly Sliced Onions, Zucchini, Mushrooms, etc.
- Artichoke Quarters
- Spinach
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Olives
- Pepperoni
- Ham
- Cooked sausage
- Fresh Chopped Basil
- Balsamic Reduction
- oregano
- red pepper flakes
You can honestly top your naan bread pizza with just about anything your heart desires. Sometimes I’ll add artichoke quarters, sliced fresh mushrooms, zucchini, or roasted cherry tomatoes. If you top your naan bread pizzas with raw vegetables, be sure to thinly slice everything so that it cooks down as well while your pizza bakes.
My absolute favorite way to eat and serve these naan bread pizzas is topped with chopped fresh basil and a drizzle of balsamic reduction. (Just remember to add the chopped fresh basil and/or balsamic reduction after you’ve removed your baked naan bread pizza from the oven.)
