- plain naan bread – in the bakery section of your local grocery stores you should be able to find packages of store-bought naan bread that is ready to go! Our favorite is Stonefire naan flatbread pizza. Your store might also carry pita bread, which would work too.
- pizza sauce – we love our homemade pizza sauce or keep it simple and grab your favorite store-bought pizza sauce.
- mozzarella cheese – always a must for that ooey gooey melted cheese, you can’t have pizza without it! For some added flavor, try mixing in some parmesan cheese.
- pepperoni – a classic pizza topping that our family loves.
- favorite toppings – mushrooms, green bell pepper, red pepper flakes, green olives, black olives, red onion, Italian sausage, fresh basil leaves or other fresh herbs, etc.

Naan Flatbread Pizza Ideas
We love a good cheese and pepperoni pizza, but if you’re feeling adventurous, use some of these topping flavor combinations!
- Canadian bacon and pineapple
- Fresh mozzarella, tomatoes & basil
- Sausage & sautéd mushrooms
- BBQ chicken, red onion & cilantro
- Pesto chicken with tomatoes & mozzarella
- Prosciutto, arugula & Parmesan
Step 5 – Slice and let cook for a few minutes before diving in!
What We Learned Testing this Recipe
- Like any good pizza, these are best enjoyed once they’ve cooled a bit after cooking. You can store them in the fridge, but the crust will loose a bit of it’s crispiness.
- A homemade sauce will take this recipe from great to drool worthy. Check out our homemade pizza sauce that takes just 15 minutes to make!
- Fresh naan bread (without sauce or toppings) can easily be stored in the freezer for a couple months without going bad. We love to keep some in the freezer so we always have it on hand when we need an easy dinner on a busy weeknight!

How do I make crispy naan bread pizza?

There are so many great naan flatbread pizza flavor combinations! Try a veggie pizza with bell peppers/onions, or a margarita pizza with fresh mozzarella and basil, or bbq chicken pizza. They are all amazing.
Naan pizza is simply using store bought naan bread to use in place of traditional pizza crust. Once baked in the oven, it has the same flavor and texture as regular pizza crust.
