Say hello to the quickest pizza recipe ever! All you need is 5 ingredients, 8 minutes to bake, and you have the crispiest, golden mini pizzas that are SO yummy and EASY.

When Drew and I first got married I made naan pizzas ALL the time for us. It was so easy for me whip these pizzas up and serve them alongside a salad or our favorite soup! I’ve made these pizzas for countless family dinners and parties. They are ALWAYS a hit and I never have any leftovers!

So whether you are making pizza for your family, a party, or any occasion, this recipe is your new best friend. They’re quick, tasty, and require minimal ingredients! 

Ingredients You Need

You’ll need only handful of ingredients to make this recipe happen: naan, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese (optional but great for flavor!), pizza sauce, and fresh chopped basil

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.

    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 😊)

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
