Easy Naan Bread Pizza Recipe

An easy cheesy naan bread pizza recipe! Just 5 ingredients and only 8 minutes to bake!

Mini naan bread pizzas are a really easy weekend lunch or speedy weeknight dinner when time is short! They're yummy, quick, and perfect for the whole family.

I like to use mini naan breads for the kids, but you can use normal size naans if that suits you!

Pepperoni-style pizza toppings are a favourite in this house, but really anything goes! The cheesier the better though!

🔪 How to make naan pizza

The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post

One: Lay the mini naan breads on a non-stick baking tray and spoon over the pizza sauce.

Three: Top with the pepperoni slices.

Four: Bake in a preheated oven for 8 minutes until golden. Garnish with torn basil leaves.

💭 Expert tips

• Crispy naan bread pizza - make your crust crispier by pre-baking your naan for 3-4 minutes in the oven before adding the toppings. Return to the oven for a further 4 minutes to melt the cheese.
• Use different cheeses on your pizza! Cheddar, gruyere, or Parmesan would all melt nicely. Basically, anything that melts will work on these!
• Make a healthy naan bread pizza - use half-fat cheese and wholemeal naan bread.

🍴 Serving suggestions

Serve the naan bread pizza with air fryer sweet potato fries and air fryer corn on the cob for a filling and healthy meal.

In the winter I like to serve the mini pizza with soup for a delicious and warming lunch (try my curried parsnip and apple soup!).

🥡 Storage

Store: Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and eaten cold or reheated.

Reheat: Use an air fryer or hot oven to reheat your pizza. Don't use a microwave - it will just go soggy!

Freeze: Freeze the pizzas once assembled, uncooked in a freezer-safe container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.  Bake from frozen for 15 minutes.
