Naan Pizza
Who doesn’t love a good pizza night? Especially when it’s so easy to create customized toppings on each of these individually-sized Naan pizzas!
Not only is this a genius 20-minute dinner idea, but it also makes a great appetizer idea for guests!
PRO TIP: Keep Naan bread in your freezer for unexpected guests or last minute dinner ideas. It freezes well and you don’t have to defrost prior to baking!
How to Make It
*See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
Brush melted butter/garlic/Parmesan mixture around the edge of each pizza. Spread with an even layer of sauce, then mozzarella cheese.
Add desired pizza toppings along with grated Parmesan. Bake at 450° for 5 minutes. Rotate baking sheet/pan 180° and bake for 5 more minutes. Check after 3 minutes as oven temps vary. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, slice, and serve.
Naan Bread Pizza Topping Ideas
- Meats: Pepperoni, Sausage, Ground Beef, Ham, Buffalo Chicken, Grilled Chicken.
- Other: Mushrooms, Olives, Peppers, Onions, Pineapple, Feta, Pesto, Caramelized Onions, Sundried Tomatoes.
Pro Tips
- Stonefire is the brand of Naan bread that I use. It can be found in the bakery or deli section at the grocery store. You can also make homemade Naan bread.
- Low moisture/whole milk mozzarella is best for pizza. Dragone is my preferred brand.
- If adding vegetables or raw sausage/beef, make sure they’re fairly small in size so that they have a chance to cook through.
- I purchased washed/sliced mushrooms for this as a time saver. Mine were sliced on the thicker side so sliced them in half to make 2 thinner slices.
- Rao’s Marinara or Pizza sauce is great on these. You can also try my homemade marinara sauce.
- Grilling Method: Place the prepared pizza directly on a preheated gas grill at 375-400 degrees, (medium-high heat). Ensure that the flame isn’t touching the pizza directly. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or so, until the cheese is melted and toppings are cooked.

Storage
- Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- To reheat from frozen, bake in a 375° oven for 10-12 minutes, until warm and heated through.

I grill the naan on my griddle, both sides, then top it with my sauce, mozzarella and pepperoni and put it under the broiler until cheese melts. Sprinkle salt, basil and hot pepper flakes. Delicious!
Thanks for sharing Karen! Those toppings sound perfect, my husband would appreciate the heat!❤️
