Variations & Substitutions

Naan. Use store-bought naan for convenience. I like to use whole wheat naan, but you can also use flavored flatbreads like garlic naan or stuffed naan. Tomato sauce. The base for the pizza. You can also use pesto or hummus for a different flavor of pizza sauce. Margherita toppings. You’ll need mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, olive oil, and sea salt. Vegetable toppings. You’ll need mushrooms, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, dried oregano, fresh basil, sea salt, red pepper flakes, and olive oil. Mediterranean toppings. You’ll need hummus, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, black olives, feta cheese, red onion, olive oil, dried oregano, sea salt, black pepper, lemon, and basil leaves. Note that I am allergic to cucumbers, so my husband was the tester for this particular version!

📖 How to make naan pizza

To make the margherita naan pizza:

Step 1:Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Step 2:Place the naan on a baking sheet.

To make the vegetables naan pizza:

Step 1:Place the naan on a baking sheet.

To make the fresh Mediterranean naan pizza:

Step 1:Spread a layer of hummus over the naan. Step 3:Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and chopped basil leaves. Then, drizzle with olive oil, dried oregano, salt, pepper and basil leaves.

Use a pizza stone or a preheated baking sheet in the oven to distribute heat evenly, resulting in a perfectly crispy crust. Don’t overload the naan with too much sauce or cheese, as this can make the base soggy. A thin, even layer works best. Tear or lightly crush the fresh basil leaves by hand instead of cutting with a knife to release their essential oils and maximize flavor. Broil the naan pizza for the last 1-2 minutes of baking to achieve a golden, bubbly top, but keep a close eye to prevent burning. If making multiple naan pizzas, bake them in batches rather than crowding the baking sheet to ensure each gets evenly baked and crispy.

🍴 How to serve naan pizza

Serve naan pizza for a simple but satisfying lunch or dinner. To make it a complete meal, serve it with tomato soup, Greek chickpea soup, or Minestrone soup. You can also serve it with a simple salad like an Italian chopped salad or a Caesar salad.

🍴Storage and reheating suggestions

To store leftover pizza, transfer it to an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Then, reheat it in the oven to make the crust crispy again!
