Naan Pizza Recipe

Easy meals like this super-simple naan pizza are my FAVORITE. When you have an energetic toddler, cooking quick meals either while she is napping or in those five glorious minutes where she entertains herself is KEY.

This naan pizza is so quick and so easy that we make it probably far too frequently around here. All it takes is some naan bread (fresh or frozen), shredded mozzarella, tomato sauce, and fresh basil. Easy lunch or dinner.

A couple of Sundays ago, we spent a wonderful morning at the farmer’s market and let Zara run around on the playground. By the time we got home, she was wiped out and it was time for her afternoon nap. So I whipped up easy naan pizzas for Josh and myself and we had an easy, delicious lunch.

Some tips on making the naan pizzas:

  • All ovens cook differently. 10 minutes worked perfectly for me to cook the naan and melt the cheese, but yours could take a bit more time.
  • This recipe is EASILY cut in half. When I’m just making it for Josh and myself, I usually just make half the amount.
  • If you like crispy cheese, you can always broil for a minute or two!
  • Fresh basil is SO good on this. I don’t recommend skipping.
  • If you’re using bigger slices of naan, I recommend slicing each pizza to make it easier to eat.
  • These are so easy to customize! If you want, throw some pepperoni on there or even pineapple if you’re crazy.
