How to Make 10-Minute Naan Pizza
#1 Sauce – use a homemade pizza sauce recipe or your favorite store bought.
#2 Add your toppings – Sprinkle shredded or sliced mozzarella and a little parmesan cheese. You can also use your favorite Italian cheese blend.
Simple Ways to Add Flavor
Add even more flavor to your pizza by utilizing your spice cabinet, using fresh herbs, or adding more cheeses!
First, let’s start with the cheese. Since mozzarella doesn’t have the most flavor, we love adding freshly grated parmesan over top before baking! It adds a salty, nutty flavor and melts beautifully.
When the pizza is finished, we hit the spice cabinet or use up our fresh herbs on hand. We love adding fresh chopped basil or oregano, or using dried oregano for an herb flavor. Another must is red pepper flakes for a little spicy kick!
These ingredients are so simple yet really pack on the flavor.
More Pizza Toppings
Who doesn’t love pizza toppings?! And since these pizza’s are so small, you can easily personalize them to make things fun and even more delicious.
Our favorite toppings are: roasted vegetables, sliced olives, pepperoni, cooked meatballs, and cooked Italian sausage.
Tip if using vegetable toppings: I don’t recommend adding raw vegetable to these pizzas because they cook quickly in the oven and won’t allow the veggies enough time to soften. Pre-cook vegetables either in a pan or roast them before adding to your pizzas.
Extra Recipe Notes
- Crispy crust tip: Make your crust even better by pre-baking your naan. Bake for 3-4 minutes in the oven, carefully remove — add sauce, cheese, extra toppings, and bake for 3-4 more minutes or until cheese has melted. This will give your pizza more texture and a less doughy taste!
- Make it healthier: Swap regular naan bread for whole wheat (if available at your local grocery store).
- Pizza sauce choices: you can use a regular pizza sauce, marinara, or use fire roasted crushed tomatoes for an easy and fresh flavor!
Pair it with a soup!
Whenever serving up personalized pizzas, I love pairing them with a hearty vegetable soup! Such as our Healthy Tomato Basil Soup, Tuscan White Bean Soup, or this hearty Italian Minestrone Soup.

Hi Bethany, I came upon this recipe and wanted to make it right away. Since I was out of Marinara sauce I used a jar of Salsa with a couple of spoons of sweet chili sauce instead. It was quite good. Thank you.
So happy this recipe could work out with what you had, thanks so much for sharing 🙂
Can I used those fresh mozzarella balls instead of shredded cheese
What is considered a serving? We are watching calories and my husband ate the one whole Naan. This was delicious and I’ll definitely make it again (probably this week 😊)
Hi Deborah! One serving is one naan pizza 🙂 Glad you and your husband enjoyed them!
We love Naan pizza. Our favorite is pesto with fresh sliced mozzarella, sliced tomato, finely sliced basil and a little shredded parmesan…soooo good
We bring these camping, the grandkids love them, I bring all different toppings and let them make there own. Then I cook them on my grill!
that’s so fun to hear! I never thought of using these for camping but it’s perfect. Thank you for sharing, Linda! So glad to hear it 🙂
Naan pizza it was so delicious thank you so much for putting up this recipe I made it for my kids today and they really enjoyed it a lot they requested me to try it again for them
Thank you so much, Supriya! So glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I love naan flatbread pizzas (use Stonefire brand). I have been making them for years with all kinds of toppings, the possibilities are endless. For the traditional I use both mozzarella and grated romano cheese (Locatelli) and Dell’Amore pizza sauce, the best sauce (in my opinion) ever to come from a jar. I have also tried grilling them on either a gas or charcoal grill. Just brush very lightly with olive oil before adding your toppings and watch them carefully. They come out great this way as well. Enjoy your site, have a lot of delicious easy recipes.
These pizzas look absolutely delicious! I love that
We’ve made these weekly since discovering your recipe!! I even made for my Mom & she loved them too! Excellent & easy recipe, highly recommend!!! Deserves more stars!!! I make some without tomato sauce & just olive oil, garlic, & herbs, covered with mozzarella & toppings.
So thrilled you love them so much! Thanks so much for sharing. They really are the easiest and surprisingly so tasty!
Been doing this for a long time, too. It’s oddly reminiscent of elementary school cafeteria pizza, circa 1980s and back. My kids have no idea what I’m talking about when I tell them these things. LOL
Thanks for sharing this lovely and amazing information and thanks sharing this learning and helping this article
thanks for this easy, delicious recipe. my husband i have made it three times now. so glad i found your blog!
So happy you both enjoyed this! Reach out if you have any questions. Hope you get to try and enjoy more recipes! 🙂
It is magic. Lovely recipe. Easy.
First I was shocked without yeast, how we can make. But you did it stunning and that helped me too.
First time trying this recipe, and it’s delicious! Perfect size for one person, or to vary toppings for individual servings. 😄
I’m so happy to hear that! Thanks so much, Lynn 🙂
This website was… how do I say it? Relevant!! Finally I have found something which helped me. Thanks!
I’ve been doing this for years … but using the garlic naan.. Publix pizza sauce and all kinds of toppings. My fave is the margherita pizza my boyfriend loves hamburger,onion and bacon. But I always have all kinds available. When I couldn’t find garlic naan, I just made minced garlic butter melted and brushed it on first! Great idea, great pizza!
My husband would seriously eat this every night if I made it for him. I’m allergic to tomatoes and use a homemade garlic-pesto sauce for my pizza and use the suggestion to precook the bread 4 minutes prior to loading the toppings on. We haven’t used any other recipe since finding this one with the exception of the occasional homemade Detroit style pizza we make.
Perfect!
I just made this naan pizza tonight and they were delicious. This will now be my go-to recipe.

So happy to hear it!
Love this. It’s healthier than ordering in, and faster as well. If you like garlic, like we do, you can crush a clove of garlic and mush it around in the sauce with a spoon as you are putting the sauce on the naan. If I have fresh basil I put it on top just before serving. We like a mix of mozzarella and some parmesan. We like fresh tomatoes, ham, and peppers on top.
I found the small naan breads at Walmart.They are perfect for kids. I am watching my granddaughters tomorrow and thought about how fun it would be to let them make their own little pizza for lunch. Your recipe is so simple that my 12 and 7 year old granddaughters will have no problem making their own pizza. Thank You, cannot wait to make fun memories with them. 😁
OMG this is delicious!! I’m only a tween & don’t know how to cook, but these are really easy to make! I never considered using naan to make pizza, & usually get pizza from a store. This is WAY healthier & I love how I can add my own toppings! Thank you so much for this!
I love using hummus instead of tomato sauce on my naan pizzas. Delicious…gives a creamy taste, kind of like a Alfredo taste. Healthier too.
I love that idea! Thanks for sharing Sandra!
Thank you Bethany for this amazing recipe. I tried it today and it came out so well.
I have tried your recipes and never once it has failed. Thanks a ton.
Thank you so much, Alberinta! So happy all the recipes have been enjoyed. And the naan pizzas 🙂
Amazing! I am Italian and I live in Rome, do you know the secret to a good pizza? It is important to use good quality olive oil and add a little sugar to the flour so that the dough is tastier and with a better body. Also, it is essential not to mix the salt directly with the yeast because that affects the levitation. These and many more secrets are in this very useful Master Class https://eb4.co/0b1f5686 for beginners and experts, I share it with you!
I happened to have a couple bigger (‘toaster size’) naan from Stonefire, as well as some left-over mozzarella and saw your recipe. I use my top oven (electric, grr) the most because it’s small (only one rack) so uses less energy when cooking for us. (‘Us’ being my husband and I.) Because of this I’m very hesitant to cook anything on the rack, because below it are heating elements. Instead, I chucked a baking pan covered with tin foil into the oven to preheat with it, put the pre-made pizzas on the preheated pan, cooked for right around nine minutes, and they were perfect. The only reason the time went over was because I got distracted briefly before taking them out.
I will never buy a pre-made frozen pizza ever again. Ever. Two of these plus a salad (more vegetables!) are perfect for one person, as well as delicious! The naan was perfect, still tender under all of the sauce and cheese, with a slightly crispy chewy aspect that was not unlike fresh pizza. Five stars for ease, flavor, and ability to change toppings as often as you wish.
Thank you!
woop! Thank you so much, Kate! Really happy to hear you enjoyed them so much 🙂
Pre-baking the naan makes all the difference. My family loves how quick and easy the pizzas cook. We make ours without the pizza sauce or marinara – just cheese and toppings.
wonderful! Pre-baking definitely adds the crispiness!
The naan bread pizzas looked so good, I had to try one right away. The recipe was super easy to follow and they taste as good as they look.
just made 4 naans as per recipe but we added..pepperoni slices, green pepers, onion slices…Excellent pizzas…
the naan breads after 8mins. with toppings came out edges a little crunchy ( nice ) and the rest nicely baked !!!!!
I will make these often !!!!
tkx..Joanne
I’m so happy to hear that! It’s such an easy way to do pizza. Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
For naan pizzas it’s always turns out great if you brush olive oil on the edges. your crust comes out way better. A little tip I gained from working at a college deli/pizza shop.
Thank you for this tip. I’m making them for the first time tonight!
Love that idea!
I make naan garlic pizzas once a month for me and my husband. It’s more like ‘homemade’ and I can add whatever toppings we like. And so feel like we’re eating healthier, too, which is important because my husband has a serious heart condition.
Absolutely perfect and so easy. Love the crispy bottom. Did mine with fresh mozzarella, spinach and Italian sausage. Thank you for this! Big fan of all your recipes. 😘
Thank you so much Mike! I’m so happy to hear this 🙂
So simple and absolutely Yummmmmmooooo.
Yay!
These are officially my weeknight dinner go-tos. So easy. Thank you so much!
woot woot!
These pizzas look absolutely delicious! I love that using naan bread makes them so quick to bake, this would be a perfect weeknight meal 🙂
